The Haydon Art Club Exhibit.
Tho exhibit in the art room of tho li
brary building, though not at first im
pression, grows, on examination, into a
very good show. The four landscapes
by Leonard Ochtman have distance, at
mosphere and clean color. It shows how
much wo need this kind of picture here
when people can be heard to say "I do
not like thoso pictures, they do not look
like anything I ever Baw. Very likely
not, but do you not wish you could see
like that madamo?"
Miss Parker's contributions to this
year's Lincoln salon show a marked im
provement in her work. The small head
in a bright light, with a purple quiver
ing shadow on tho hair is an exquisite
thing. It is small but it easily carries
the width of the room. She knew what
she was about when she painted that
head piece. The work is done with
assurance, boldness. It is unified, the
completed work of a singl" inspiration.
Miss Parker's autumnal color in agroup
of trees a little Bouth of Lincoln is a
charming bit of color and shows the
influence of Ochtman, so also does "The
grey day in tho Shinnecock hills." Miss
Margaret Clark has loaned three pic
tures, one a tree-embowered pond by
MH'e. Julien, a aopy of one of Chap
lin's heads by the same artist and a dis
tant view of Venice by Walter Brown.
MH'e. Julien was a favorite pupil of
the great Chaplin whose works are very
rare. Meissoner's and J.rome's are
cheap compared to thiB master's many,
of whose works have been destroyed by
fire. The French people think so much
of the treasures he has left they would
not allow any of them to be brought to
this country even to the world's fair.
Miss Clark herself is unrepresented in
the collection. This is unfortunate. I
happen to know she has some evidences
of last summer's work in the Shinne
cock hiilc, sketches full of delicate feel
ing and the shimmering elusive color of
summer days on the sea. It is remark
able that such a flat unaspiring peace
as Lincoln should have produced three
energetic, ambitious, already on the
heights, women such as Alice Righter,
Margaret Clar'j and Elizabeth Tuttle.
Mr. Laurie Wallace, the director of
the Omaha Art school Bent a head and
two landscapes. Tho head show the in
fluence of Bougereau. The brook flows
through a low bit of ground and sedgy
grasses overhang it. I wonder where he
sat when he painted it. It is so 6oft and
wet all around you could not set up an
easel within two-hundred feet of the
spot. Perhaps there was a little bridge
near.
Moran, "Evening," by R. S. Gifford. A
vision of the clique by Frederick
Walker, whom many suppose to have
been Du. Maurier's model for little
Billee. A street in London by Whistler
the most exquisite etching possible,
and "Summer," by Gaugengigl. Mrs. R.
O. Phillips lends two pictures very
pleasing bur painted according to the
instruction of the old 6chobl, which after
all some people prefer. Onoan old harp
leaning on his harp while his daughter
looks on, and Esther robing herself to
appear before tho king. Mrs. John B.
Wright haB a picture of a ship sailing
oves a path made by the moon, Mrs.
Yates a beautiful bronze Moor, Presi
dent Uarwood a marine by Bricher, and
a Woodro ad by G. Owln. Miss Righter
shows a carefully selected collection of
photographs. Tho university has some
photographs mainly (.taken from the
Palace de Luxembourg of which I will
speak in next issue.
Mrs. Bessey Bends some very fresh and
pleasing water colors.

cannot take it
Cod-liver oil helps and cures. Many believe they could be benefited
if they could take It, but, after trying, acknowledge they cannot do it.
They might as well say they cannot eat bread, after having taken of
a few pieces which were heavy and sour. Physiologists tell us
that cod-liver oil Is more easily digested than cream, butter or other
fats. The difficulty is with the preparation which has been used.
t
Scotts Emulsion
of cod-liver oil with hypophosphltes is borne by the most delicate
invalid because it is not disagreeable in taste ; contains the purest
oil; the oil is emulsified (or digested), avoiding the rising of gas
from the stomach ; and the oil is combined with the hypophosphltes
which are known for their power to strengthen digestion and give
tone and vigor to the whole system.

The Return of the Magdalene.
Miss Righter has, besides 6ome excel
lent pencil sketches, two copies, one of
Murillo's Cherubs in the Ijnmaculato
Conception and L'lndifferent, by Wat
teau, both charming and both having
the marks of a faithful likeness. Mrs.
Bessey shows two portraits by Mrs. Can
field, very good likenesses. And a pleas
ant reminder of one who did much work
for the Haydon Art club and for art in
genera when she was with us. Miss
Isabella Rogers shows a water color of
an oriel window very well worked out.
In the gray old church where the
marble shrine
Of the Virgin Mary stands,
A penitent woman in agony kneels
And prays with outstretched hands;
"Ave Maria spotle;s one.
Hear my prayer,
I have no hope to save thou alone,
In my despair."
Her voice is choked with broken sighs.
She wrings her hands in grief,
Her body is shaken by Btoriny sobs,
As the wind shakes a trembling
leaf;
"Ave Maria see my shame
My agony,
I who am lost, undone,
Ah pity me."
Then prone on her face the woman falls
Hei bosom bared to stony floor,
Her voice is stiffied, half mixed with
dsath
As she gasps and prays once more:
"Ave Maria -my bleeding heart
I bring to thee,
Cleanse thou its lust away
Oh pardon me.
But the image of Mary nor smiles, nor
frowns,
Nor stoops with a listening ear,
Her placid face in the old church shines
Nor the prayer does Bho seem to
hear;
"Ave Maria the flames of hell
Are in my heart,
The fire consumes my helpless
soul
Bid it depart."
And there on the floor of the gray old
church
When the nuns come in for prayer,
Theyiind the sinni r in a scarlet gown.
Her red dishevelled hair,
Like a pool of clotted blood spread out
On the pavement cold and bare,
Her lips move not. nor her rigid hands
let there seems to float through
the air;
"Ave Maria spotless one
Hear my prayer,
I have no hope save thou alone
In my despair."
