The NOTION COLUMN By O. Haskins, Herself. We went to call at the home of a friend of ours a while back. The Mistress of that particular realm let us in with the conventional ceremon ies only we thought she appeared very absent-minded, rather preoccu pied, as if the present world of guests and other realities were a thing apart from her life. Sue added, partly in explanation and perhaps partly in apology for her lack of in terest in our appearance, “We are looking at the picture." Now we ourself know' very little about the theories of Art; we only know what pleases our eye, and we are not particularly concerned wheth er our eye can tilt at a picture with true critical precision or not. We might also add that we despise those women who join Art Clubs to sop up some of that glittering aragon of art standard!—who join just as a pose, you know. We ourself can’t even be modern enough to make crown nor feet of some of this cubist apprecia tion. We like the picture that sets something humming inside us, but we can’t give the appropriate name for the humming; we don’t know what means the artist employs to secure that much appreciation from us, bourgeoise as it may be to admit it. And worst of all, we seem de lightfully happy in our ignorance. But—we left ourself standing at the door of a friend’s house. She took us into her livingroom, and she indicated a chair we might have. There were others there, people we didn’t know. They didn’t appear to notice us, nor did our hostess deem in troductions in order. They were all looking at the picture. We looked too. It seemed like a very ordinary oil of an old man, when we first gave our attention to it. We sat a few minutes, hoping with a lot of telepathy mixed in with the hop ing, that soon somebody would speak up and tell us what we ought to ad mire in that picture. But nobody did. Nobody said anything. Everybody ’Was looking at the picture. Well, we do not need Mrs. Post to tell us that if we can’t be interested we can at least be still, so we sat quietly enough—like everybody else— looking at the picture. Then we noticed forth efirst time, the hands of this old man in the pic ture. We would say in" our inexperi enced way that they were well done, they had such expressive characteris tics, hands that seemed to be alive, sensitive and accustomed to perform ing the beautiful acts of a beautiful life. We looked farther up the picture to see if the face thrilled us as those hands did. Anyway, furtive glances at the others in the room informed us that everybody else was looking a that face. How can one describe that face? That craggy brow, behind which sure ly some stronghold of thought lay se rene; those eyes, as still—why, as .still as God, and almost as deep; that mouth, sympathetic, almost like a woman’s and yet lips over which re buke might tumble in vast confusion of strength to route a wrong or warn an erring one. Maybe those hands wrote, maybe they played some of those ageless bits of music, maybe they themselves painted, interpreting that attractive face. We do not know. We only know that after we had spent an hour before that picture, we felt as if we had been baptised somehow, as if we could never again think an ordi nary thought, or sound a trite word. We even think we staggered a bit as we realized it was time to go. Oiir hostess didn’t go to the door with us as we left; something in our eyes perhaps told her we didn’t want her. We left looking at the picture. Outside, the sun glared at us, the rattle of the city bruised us, the urge of the busy day trampeled on us. We caught our breath—and hastened to make up the time we had lost—if we had lost any! But that is uor idea of the way to enjoy art. CITATION GEORGIA, Wilkinson county. To whom it may concern: R. M.
