Art Museum. On Friday the exhibition, assembled by Miss Sally Lewis of New York, of modern art, paintings and drawings by contemporary French and Ameri can artists opened at the galleries In the public library. Six early drawing* by Redon are of Interest. Three water colors by Arthur B. Davies have been added to the collection here. They were sent from his exhibition at Ware’s gallery in New York which closed January 10. One of tlie three, a mountain in southern France, is the same moun tain that Cezanne painted so often. Mr. Davies spent last summer in and around Aix, the home of Cezanne. Mr. Davies lias recently been in the lime light as the winner of the $2,500 peace Christmas card prize. He i* repre sented by nine drawings and water colors In the present exhibition. Wult Kuhn's work has been on ex hibition at tlie Montrose galleries in New York during January and Marie l.aurenpin's paintings at the Wilden steln galleries. Of special note in connection with these very modern paintings is the group of eight African negro masks of curved wood. Some of them are supposed to date from as early as the 14th century. It was from these that the elements of Cubism were derived, and Cubism In its turn was the In spiration that caused the negro sculp tures to be sought for. The Brooklyn museum, Field museum. Chicago, and Natural History musetfm of New York have Interesting and extensive collections. Miss Lewis, who is a collector of national renown, accompanied this exhibit to Omaha where she will re main for two weeks. She will be present in Ihe galleries this afternoon from 3 to S to talk to any Interested persons. She will also tie there on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons and alternate forenoons. C. D.

Word has come from Santa Monica, Cal., of the birth of a son t4 Mr. and Mr*'. Harry Hammer of that City, formerly of Omaha. This is their third child. Mrs. Hammer was Miss Nell Shep herd of Condon, English vaudeville actress. She came to America with her mother in August of 1916. The journey was made through submarine infested waters. They landed safely after several terrifying encounters with German U-boats. Mi-. Hammer was with Ringllngs’ circus at one time, also in vaudeville. He played the cornet In the Rialto orchestra when in Omaha. "While we are strong for \Cali fornia, we miss good old Omaha," writes Mr. Hammer. “Food is so nrtuch better there than here, but of course we have the ocean. We catch the WOAW broadcast concerts once in a while over a three-circuit regen erator set.” Mr. Hammer’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. N. Hammer of 2504 South Twen tieth street. Ofhaha. Mt. St. Mary Concert. Mt. St. Mary Glee club will give Its seventh annual concert Sunday afternoon. February 24, at 3 o'clock in the new lyceum recently erected on the convent grounds. Members of the club have been trained by the Slaters of Mercy and Dr. R. Mills Silby, who will direct. Mrs. Leo A. Hoffman, aoprano aollst, will aseist and two numbers will be given by Miss Juliette I«a Point*, piano student at the echool. Rebecca West Described. (Coatlnnrd From Fas* Oar.) and liked Wordsworth in a defensive sort of way as though it absolved them from liking anybody newer and bolder ” That she never knew the Joys of restraint, or appreciated the protec tion afforded to youth that it might follow untrameled in the pathways of learning, is clearly evident from the following passage: “There is only one period in my life on which I look back with the feeling that I was in prison. when I was hold back by something more than my own inertness, from the up ward movement of life toward self comprehension; and that was the time when I lived in a world made by wo men. For 50 years th# will of picked women has worked unfettered at the making of the system of secondary education for girls, and it has result ed 1n one of the most successful of mankind's many attempta to make youth a hateful thing.” letter on she continues: "I, who love learning very greatly, fled from school at 1*. ut terly regardless of how precarious the future n.lght be, so long as It did not contain tha certainty of a uni vereity career.” „ Ciiticiie* System. She has only carping criticism for her self-sacrificing Instructors: “These women,” ehe Insists, “had nothing to give. Not only was It necessary that a teacher should attend her school In Inconspicuous clothes and glva care fully prepared lessons on chosen text book*. It was also all that the edu cational system permitted her to do." It was before the headmistress that Cecily Fairchild—who frequently he lled her name—wa« Indicted for writ ing a poem on "The Death ,of God" In a rookery cieaa. She calls It “a comic crime." for It wa* not the poem writing that wa* reprehensible. It was the time of making It, to the neg lect of other duties. But Cecily, an other Becky Sharp, would not be mat)? to understand tha distinction. In 190R, when she was but II, Cecily I Fairchild left school with no thought I of continuing her education. The fol-1 lowing year she went up to London1 to try her fortune on the stage; but | she was summarily dismissed for j reading “Creative Evolution" during! a rehearsal. The episode reminds us' again of Becky Sharp. Start Described At 19 site became a reviewer on the staff of the London Freewoman, which lias since degenerated into The Egoist. The paper was edited by Kora Marsden, who tells us that one day a young girl in her 'teens ap peared at the editor's office with tin article turning into drollery the so lemnities of the punctilious Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the noted Victor ian novelist, and the niece of Matthew Arnold. The girl gave her name as Hegina Miriam Bloch, but It was really Cecily Elizabeth Fairchild. When the article appeared in print, the writer had already assumed the pseudonym of “Rebecca West,” the name of the sinister heroins of Isben's disagreeable play, Kosmer holm." Before a dozen of her contribu tions had been published editors were competing for Rebecca West's pun gent articles. The young writer had a meteoric career. The following year she became a political writer on the Clarion. Later she wrote literary re views for the Daily News and the Star, “Notes on Novels" for the sober New Statesman, and was the star dra matic critic in Time and Tide, a feminist weekly Journal. On account of her fearlessness in passing judg ment, and her scathing wit, she ranks higli as a reviewer of novels in the public press, her rival until recently having been the late Kath erlne Mansfield—Mrs. J. Middleton Murry, the wife of the editor of the Athenaeum. 8ome one has described Rebecca West's method of reviewing by saying that “she Is just the high browed reviewer of books who re move the skin of her victims to the accompaniment of a happv laugh." Influenced by Wells. Both in her life and in her literary work Miss Fairchild has been influ enced deeply by her personal acquain tance with H. G. Wells, and by her reading of Ibsen and other writers of what is termed advanced thought, for some little time Cecily was pri vate secretary to H. G. Wells, a rela tionship which left its impress on the freedom-loving reactionary young la dy. One recalls the fact that H. G. j Wells began life in very humble cir cumstances. He was the spn of Jos eph Weils, a professional cricketer, who afterward became a shop keeper. His mother, who had been a lady’s maid, became a housekeeper to eke out the family fortunes. The boy s early environment was that of the lower middle claas and of shop life. Possessed of t>nundless energy, marked ability, and a bouyant enthu siasm, he secured a scientific educa tion at the University of London, and when thrown on his own resources, earned his living as a schoolmaster, his subject being biology, and was & private coach. Five years later he essayed journalism in the Pall Mall Gazette, the .Saturday Review and Nature. The success of his first I • ' Fine Diamonds s Albert Kdhoim confines all hit diamond selections to atones of the higher qualities. , Such an assurance is a very important consideration in the selection of a diamond. The natural lighting features of this secluded jewel shop, wide north windows, which are high enough to recVive the un broken rays of light on the atones to be examined, are a perfect satisfaction to the pur chaser of diamonds, an ex amination which assures per manent pleasure in the stone bought.

So Intimately Is the home life of Mr. Wells drawn In "Mr. Brltling” that one can readily picture the ad vent and sojourn of Cecily Fairchild in this country home. The freedom of thought and expression of H. G. Wells' could not but be reflected in her, and the young woman, already quite sophisticated, became so pro^ nounced in modern thought that one gasps on remembering that her years are but 31. In realistic experience she has lived centuries. In me Miss Fairchild brought out her first book, “Hepry James, a Critical Essay,” published In the year of James’ death. It will be remem bered that Henry James and H. G. Wells had crossed pwords on matters ef literary form, and the latter had come off second best.
