nat racial temperament.
Mysterious Glamcar
Th* ag* of faith in France produced
*j| miracle of form which we identify
Ii Gothic structure. The age of some
aiig like decadence in Paris produced
3 Degas a kindred type of form, a type
fcdiuted, as were the mfdieval archi
?xu, to an ideal of art \hat could be i
?ea and touched and handled. Gothic ;
jRhiteeture has a mysterious glamour, i
?a; at its heart the principle holding
? together is a principle determined
if exaet scienee, the principle of
imt aad counter-thrust, achieving
lerfect equipoise. The art of Degas
i like that. He is a painter with the
nirit of the exoerimentai scientist,
at tsatomist He, too, is interested
6 what he can see and touch and
iiooV He is the master of things in
ie raible world. Hence he nC*** only
foatributes sympathetically to the en
eabie on this occasion, but makes it
?ealljr oore interesting through the in
?iaute relation he haa to the old
auters with whom he is shown.
We have alluded to the Cluny. One
?tun why the ailusion is apposite is
zit Mr. Lawrence formed a vejritable
aueom in his house, and, like tht;
athorities in the French institution,
niexscting as to the quality of what
mt he admitted. Antiquities are
nutimes lightly designated "junk."
ntn is no junk here. On the con
sifj, the average throughout might
m:y be described aa a Cluny ave/jge.
Glorious Tapeatrlea
We haw been struck by this, in the
int plan, on traversing the tapestries.

oamples. We may cite in illustration
tbe l*flf piece of late Gothic miile

After the tapestries and the glass^
there come the sculptures, mostly
statuetre? in wood. Flemish. Spanish
and other Continental carvers of the
eariier periods are represented, naTve
workers who portrayed the Madonna
and the saints with touching simplicity
and a kind pf unworldly picturesque
ness. In addition to these statuettes
there is an enchantirg group of Italian
reliefs in stucco. The fifteenth cen?
tury painted nnd gilded relief from a
Florentine studio (No. 330) is one of
the gems in this group. We must
mention also the two by Desiderio da
Settignano and Benedetto da Majano
(Nos. 335 and 336).
The section devoted to metal work
is very large. It includes quantities
of European brasses, among which the
examples of sixteenth century German
work are especially noticeable. But
all the things in this part of the col?
lection are of high quality. French
and Italian wrought iron forms a kind
of pendant to the mass. Finally come
numerous beautiful Oriental rugs, a
brilliant array of Italian velvets and
brocades, and a collection of antique
furniture that would by itself make
something like a sensation ? Italian i
chairs and cabinets, French choir
stalls and cupboards, Spanish tables
and a eouple of superb sixteenth cen?
tury Fronch chests. In this category
as elsewhere there is nothing mediocre.
The museum level, if we may so de
scribe it, is steadily maintained. No
t>ale of the season can transcend in
interest this one, which is set for next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday after?
noons.
Spontaneons Studies
In referring to the works of Degas
we linked them at the outset with tho I
"ancient vital tradition of French art,,
and it is tempting to develop this
point. But it is even more important
to indicate the element which gives
this collection of seventy-one paintings
and pastels its salience. This is tlie,
personal element, the significance of j
t ese pictures as particularly fresh il- !
lustrations of a master's character.;
There are designs Here which we can
imagine him as sending forth to take ;
their places among those works which
he regarded as "finished." But there;
are many which seem more like chip3 |
from his workshop, utterly spontane- j
ous studies which death alone released
from his studio. This is but another >
j way of saying that the exhibition opens '
a door into the very core of his art.
It is markedly comprehensive. In,
i the company, for example, there are j
paintings which date from his earliest j
period, the period when he was a dis
ciple of Ingres. One, "Young Spartans
at Wrestling Exercise." is a painting j
of nude youths and maidens observed !
in the open air.* It is academic, for j
Degas. But he could not have be'jn j
dry y academic if he had tried. C.ior
crept in, but more than this there was j
always his passion for form to lift him, j
as it lifted Ingre? above the routine
and convention of the Academy.
Again Like Ingres
It is exciting to see Degas touched
by the mood of the Salon, in "La Fille
de Jephte," and, again like Ingres,
leaving the formulas of the Salon far
behind him. Some, not all of the
forms in this big canvas are gloriously
m?deled, as full of a kind of strong
virtuosity as though he had sat at the
feet of Michael Angelo. These are the
most obvious reflections of the
thoroughgoing discipline on which
Degas oased his art; but you can see
traces of those early studies of his
in the big "Mdlle. Fiocre dans le Bal
let de la Source." Years afterward,
when he painted the ballet, he was al?
ways making much of its movement.
Here his figures are in repose and
there is a chance for the most careful
delineation of hand3 and faces, lor an
extraordinary subtlty of colors. The
heroine is clothed in a celestial blue.
We can think of no other such magical
exploitation of this hue this side of
the singing blue in Rembrandt's "Sam
son and Delilah."
For passages of drawing akin to
those which illuminate this picture the
observer should turn to the portraits,
to "The Violinist," "Femme en Chapeau
Rose," "Portrait of a Man," and, most
brilliant of all. "Portrait in White"
and "Portrait of a Lady." The last
j mentioned canvas has onla one rival
I among the works of Degas tnat we can
i recall, the marvelous portrait in M.3.
t Gardner'a collection in Boston. The
| face is drawn with a precision, an eie
i gance, a touch of style that would have
I made Ingres himself rejoicc. The
j "Portrait in White," simi arly inter
t esting in its draftsmanship, is even
more beguiling as regards co'or. It
contains more entrancing grays.
The early work* clteo. afceve point to
the fact that Degas once was villing
to tell a story; and there is ~n ex?
ample of his later period, the big pic#
ture of a horse race, in which a fallen
jockey lies insensible a-> his mount

plunges over him, which 3Uggests that
he could be dramatic when ho chose.
But in the main these paintings, pastels
and drawings disc'ose Degas as the
.disinterested student of form, dealing
with his jockeys, his ballet dancers
ard his bedroom bathers purely for
the sake of attitude, of movement, of
an uplifted arm or a back n which he
follows straining muscles.
Occasionally, not often, he arrives
at sensuous beauty. Witness the
"r'erarae au Tub" (No. 32), a pastel of
radiant color. It would be absurd,
however, to say that the maker of
these studies had any concern for cor
poreal beauty. The visage3 of his
models are frankly homely and their
bodies are ugly. Even in the matter
of movement he seems by a kind of
wilfulness to have preferred ungrace
ful moments. But the prosaic sub
stance of his work is enveloped in the
rich vitality of his style and in the
masterly sweep of his technique. When
he condescends to be charmingly pic
torial as in the long "Dancers in the
Greenroom" we are grateful. Even
when he throws this motif disdainfully
aside and trusts wholly to the artless
idiom of nature we rejoice in his bril
liance and his power. That is what
constitutes the great appeal of Degas,
his distinguished authority, his new
minted originality.
The sale occurs at the Plaza on
Thursday evening. It will probably
roll up some portentous figures.

When Pierre Tartoue painted the
eyes of "The Goddess of Happiness," <
the canvas which is said to have cost i
Alfred du Pont $30,000, he won the
plaudits of the New York art colony;
and soon afterward, in Cctober, 1919, j
a bride, Claudia Windsor, California
soeiety girl, who was in New York
studying musie. v I
The eyes of the "Goddess of Happi?
ness" are the eyes of Claudia Windsor,
now Mine. Tartoue. She said yesterday
that because her husband "had taken it:
upon himself to delve into her family
affairs to hurt her because she has:
started an action for separation," she
probably will be forced to tell the en-j
tire story of what prompted her to j
retain Joseph Spencer, an attorney,
with offices at 26 Liberty Street, to rep-'
resent her in her marital inharmony.
Mme. Tartoue, who is young and as
pretty as the many pictures which
have been mad,e of her, was found at
the Hotel Plaza, where she is staying j
with her mother.
The artist had been reported as
speeding home from the West armed
with statements regarding "the past
life" of his bride of a little more than
a year and "data regarding her rela- I
tives." Mme. Tartoue said;
Her Previous Marriages
"Why Pierre should consider it nec
cessary to -go out West to get all
this I can't understand. He knew that
I had been married before, and to save
him from embarrassment 1 promised
him when I married him, after he had
been divorced, thatI would say nothing
about the past. He said that if so?
eiety persons knew I had been married
they would stay away from his studio.
"I told him all about my marriage
when l was still a schoolgirl to Louis
Roth, a Cleveland boy, also still in col?
lege, and who now is dead. Because
of the objections of our parents that
marriage was annulled.
"I also told my husband before our
wedding about my marriage to George
J. Busch, of St. Louis. That marriage,
too, was annulled as soon as I learned
that he had a wife and two little girls.
"Now, that is 'my past,' and he knew
all about it without gjing to my home,
where all he could do, perhaps, would
cause the embarrassment of my family,
several of whom have lent me money,
since I met Pierre.
"I do not want to hurt Pierre. And
I don't intend to tell the real story
behind all this unless he forces me to.
My lawyer agrees with me that nothing
ia to be gained by telling things that
would hurt my husband in his profes
sion.
Wanted a Home
"All my life, ever since I played with
dolls, I have longed for a home and
love. I tried marriage twice before I
met Pierre, and both times I was dis
appointed. Then I tried again, believ
ing that I could not lose a third time.
"I might have known better, how?
ever. Two social climbers had taken
Pierre under their wings, and also were
planning a soeiety marriage for him.
The arrangement was to require about
two years, and then wealth and pos
t'on were to be his. Then came the
time when hc got the idea that he
ought to do a memorial to the French
soldiers to be placed in some conspicu
ous" piace in Paris. General O'Ryan
pnd Admiral Sims were induced to posc
for it, and the women who were at
tempting to guide Pierre's destinv took
it upon themselves to persuade certain
bociety women who had performed
noble work in the war to pose also.
Then Pierre ran out of funds.
"We had met at a bail at the Ritz
Carlton and had fallen in love. Those
who were trying to push Pierre up the
social ladder tried to dlssuade me from

if our marriage was to interfere with

before her marriage Pierre Tartoue
had been divorced by Alma Dodworth
Tartoue, daughter of T. George Dod?

The divorce wa3 obtained in the Su?

The artist and his new bride, the i
present Mme. Tartoue, went to South i
America on their honeymoon and
braved dangers in the land of head
hunting Gorgira Indians to collect

"Please say," she continued, "that I
never told Pierre I was an heiress or
wealthy. Also, please make it plain
that l never was an artist'3 model.
'The Goddess of Happiness,' a nude,
was all but completed when I met
Pierre. An impression was created that
the model was one of two society
girls, or, as it was reported then, a
composite of both. That is not true.
Two working girls posed for the work
and I know who they are.
"When I met Pierre the eyes were
not opened and he made several photo

the eyes, finished the brow and copied

Chinese to Study
Japanese Methods
At Silk Show Here
Rivalry in Industry Be?
tween the Two Countries
Raises an Interesting
Diplomatic Question
With the arrival yesterday of the ;
Japanese raw silk mission from Spo- ]
kane to attend the international silk '
show at the Grand Central Pa'.ace,;
February 7 to 12, local silk importers '
see impending an unusual problem in
busines diplomacy. The Chinese raw
silk mission, here to study modern
methods of silk culture and silk
reeling, arrived last Wednesday. The i
particular purpose of the Japanese,
who V;a.ve brought with them four ;
young Japanese reeling girls, declared
to be the champion silk reelers of the
Orient, is to show the methods used
in the Japanese filatures for reeling
silk.
The one thing which has preventcd
Chinese supremacy in the silk indus?
try, *it was suggested, was lack of
knowledge of how to reel silk by mod
ern methods. In the Chinese party,
it is reported, there are four young
Chinese women who will devote them?
selves to studying the Japanese ex-\
hibit.
The most modern methods always
have been employed in the Japanese
silk industry. The Pasteur process of
oxamining the cocoon before it hatches" !
to determine its condition was adopted
years ago. It has never been tried in 1
China. 1'he methods of reeling silk in !
the Chinese filatures are so antiquated I
that Japanese silk jobbers have real- I
ized huge profits from buying a great i
part of the Chinsse reeled silk at a j
loss and rereeling it for American mar- I
kets. Such jobbers stand to lose a !
large income if the Japanese methods ;
of reeling are introduced into China. '

i and in Mr. Livingston's counter suit
