Typical of the whole show was On Shipboard by Henry Bacon (see cut), showing a group of hardy passengers on a liner of the swinging lamp era trying to forget their interior troubles. Artist Bacon was an excellent draughtsman with an instinctive sense of composition but beyond that his artistic mind did not rise. Yet in the ingenuous 1870's his name meant much in the art world. Wounded in the Civil War, he went to Paris to recuperate and study art, spending most of his life thereafter in Europe. A pupil of the painstaking Jean Leon Gerome, Alexandre...

For nearly a century the U. S. Navy has done the same thing, running up a pennant during shipboard church services. Minister Edwards grew vexed last week when a D. A. R. pamphlet was sent him, citing a flag code promulgated in 1923 by 68 patriotic societies which agreed that no emblem may fly above the U. S. flag. Minister Edwards got his local ministerial association to appeal...
