It all depends on the Ideaa of color harmony entertained In the brains of the artists who might design our future archl- lecture. Mr, Blum Is one of the foremost exponents tl the modern school of painting. With his wife, Luclle Swan Dlum, a sculptor, he has jeet returned from China and Japan where he endeavored to reconcile the American modern virility of color conception, as ha phrases it, with the restraint nt the ancient Chinese art. una naa orougnt back as a result some capital paintings of which. If a layman may rush In to propheny where an eipert may fear to do so, some are des tined to live. These paintings are now being exhibited at the Philadelphia Art Alliance before being shown In New York. Later : they will be taken to Paris. Mr. Ilium has the reputation of being a painter of the modern school who has kept his head. When he paints a woman one recognises It as n woman. It does not look like a disintegrating stair-cane or a sick polywog. Likewise his bridges aro bridges and the canals that they span do not remind one of a daschund or an explo sion In a boiler factory. Dut his colors ara vivid, startling. Just to look at them makes you feel drab. You hato your blue suit and black hat and yearn for a yellow tunto with big splotches of green and purple and red In It. Because of the sanity he has maintained amid a whirling maze of. vortlclsm, Imagtsm. cubism and futurism, I asked h'.m if he would talk to me ot the new art what It was leading to, where and why, and If there was any hope for America. SEEKS GAYER COLORS "A big renaissance is coming In the United States," he said earnestly. "We are moving that way, but It will not come until we learn to love color, life and gaiety more. Everything fa so gray, so drab. Look at an American city. Look at our archi tecture, huso piles of stone, ugly, uninspir ing" the sight pained him. "I look to see color In our buildings; then I shall be gin to hopo for us!" "Pink skyscrapers?" I Interposed. "And why not?" he naked vehemently. "Everything should be a blase of color. Artists should design the buildings. Pink notes could be Introduced and Uttlo green shutters and red roofs and purples our clothing should bo brighter. Men should not go so somberly clad " He broke oft as though the Idea was too much for him. "Something big Is coming to the United States as the result of the war," he contin ued.

Blum and his portrait of a Chlncso girl ment here. We must be sympathetic Europe Is depleted. You ask what of the new art T Well, the art of today expresses the life of today. Much of It Is hectic: chaotic; much of It will not last. It Is tentative. A great deal will be discarded. Yeur little so-called futurists, cubists and vortlclstn. thqse who disguise their lack ot ability by sensational paintings, are retarding the modern art movement. They are the men who haven't the power to do a real thing and so their works are described as 'naif,' 'chic.' 'Chic,' baht Mr, Blum spat out the word disgustedly. SOME HOPE F0R ART "But there are modernists who will live .Cezanne, Van Gosh, daughln, Matisse. These men are not doomed." "But they aro not Americans," J put in. "That Is true." he replied, "but America Is striving, dood will come ot her efforts. The determination to have pure color and plenty of It Is good. That Is a step' In the right direction. Look at the rainbow. The primary colors do not clash there. And no artist can beat the rainbow." i Some, I was on the point of adding, have beaten It Into an oleaginous Insensibility, but I refrained, since Mr. Blum Is not one ot these. He has done such wonderful bril liant things with the primary colors. His portrait ot a Chinese girl and his Soo Chow brldgo and sunlight cana.'J are such marvel ous examples ot that which Is good In the new art; they so unanswerably deny (leorge Moore's recent assertion that "art Is dead." having- become moribund with Whistler; that it Ill-became even a frivolous news paper reporter to treat the new, live art, as he exemplifies It, with anything but dead seriousness. Unusual 'Ways to Make Corn and Popcorn P CORN pure la a favorite family dish you can give It an unusual touch occa sionally by serving It topped with pop corn croutons. You can pop tha corn your self or )et the children have the fun ot popping the corn kernels In the popper. The popcorn, hot and crisp, U added to the soup at the latt moment just before serv ing. Indeed, popcorn, simple and Inexpen sive as It Is, has many possibilities for varying the menu, and It is always a delight to the children. Popcorn and milk Instead ot bnad and milk; popcorn added to oyster soup, or any thin broth, aro de licious In flavor and most wholesome. If you pop the corn at home be sure to sepa rate carefully the fully popped kernels from the half-burst ones. The latter are hard and molt Indigestible and should not be served. The popcorn should be eaten whllo hot and freshly roasted, and not al lowed to becomo cold, aa then the starch becomes somewhat gluey and Is not so easily digested. Here are some corn recipes that may be welcomed Curing the season when corn Is plentiful and the plain cooked corn Is beginning to pall slightly on the appe tite. A pleasant breakfast dish Is: CORN OMELET Two cupfuls of corn, three eggs, one tabtespoonful of cream, one tablespoonfut ot butter, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful ot pepper. The yolks and whites ot the ttK9 are beaten separately; yolks, corn, cream and seasoning are beaten together, and lust before putting on the saucepan contain ing hot melted butter fold In the stiffly beaten whites. Keep raising the center and tipping over at! for an ordinary omelet. and when browned fold over and serve. A good luncheon dish Is baked corn and beans, but as this should cook about seven or eight hours It Is best to prepare It the night before, and place In the tireless cooker over night It is a very simply made dish, equal parts ot corn and shelled beans be ing placed In layers in a baking dish. A slice of salt pork Is put on top, and the wholo covered with boiling water and then started to cook on stove, later being trans ferred to tireless. Another excellent luncheon dish with a corn basis Is: CORN AND rErrER3 Green peppers are used; silt on one side to remove the contents, then the seeds are removed and the peppers nre parboiled to remqve the skins. They are then stuffed with the following mixture: Corn sllctd oft tho cob (after boil ing), grated cheese, salt, pepper and paprika. After stuffing the peppers are fried until a light brown, removed from tho shucepan and then simmered for about two hours In a sauce of tomato Juice flavored with chopped onion. A quick method of serving hot corn other than on tho cob Is to cut the corn from the cob and cook In a saucepan with a heaping teaspoonful of butter, salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Cook for only ten minutes, stirring, and one minute before removing from stove add one-half cupful of cream. This must be served Immediately, piping hot. (Copyright.) RUSSIAN WOMAN FINDS HUSBAND HERE AT LAST Unablo to Speak English, Tramps Streets Until Strangers Help Her After having tramped the streets for hours, trailed by her three smalt chil dren, with 1100 In money and $100 worth ot Jewels In her possession and unable to speak English, Mrs. Anna Edoff, who was searching hero for her husband, who left her three years ago In Gumma, a village adjoining Petrograd, was found by kind hearted strangers yesterday and restored to her husband. She tells a story of frightful conditions In Ruasls of 12-year-old girls digging trenches: of boys not yet fifteen drafted for military service: ot men past flfty-flve and cripples being left as the sole defenders of the home; ot a meat famine throughout tho land and of milk selling In Petrograd and other largo cities for 2 a quart, sugar for II a pound and bread dealt out In halt pound loaves for fifteen cents, and ot shoes at 110 a pair. Rich and poor alike, she says, are starving, while In the cities every night virtually the entire populace lines up to buy food In small allotments at extortionate prices. Mr. Edoft had sent a cablegram to her husband, Samuel Edoff, an upholsterer, who Uvea nt 717 Wntklns street, this city, asking him to meet her when she arrived In this country with tho children. He never re ceived the message. She arrived In New York on a Norwegian liner on Monday morn ing, but, not finding her hsuband nt tho pier, she left New York, arriving at the Ilroad Street Station shortly after 1 o'clock. At G;30 yesterday morning she wns found weeping by two Russian Jews at Eighth and South streets with the children, Izadore, twelve: Annie, ten, and Meyer, six. They took her to a coffee house In that neighbor, hood, whero she was given a room. Later In the morning they found and brought her husband, who Is well known in that nolgh boihood, to her. i DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL Up-to-the-Minute Accessories of the Very Latest Gowns I PLAYED a new role today that of peacemaker. Before I had finished breakfast, Grace Boland telephoned for me to come over as quickly as I could. I found her in tears. ? . "What is wrong with met" ahe sobbed. I; looked for symptoms pt measles, but she appeared to be her normal self, so I an swered, "nothing." Then she continued t "Tom and I have had our first real quarrel. I was to have gone downtown with him to buy his mother a wedding anniversary gift I put on my new suit and hat as he hadn't seen them. When I asked him how he liked -tho costume, he said: There Is nothing the matter with the clothes, but why is it Grace, that you don't look as neat and stylish as some ot the other women? You never have that 'Just-ster ed-out-of-a-bandbox look like well, for Instance, your sister Nan.' "Ot course, I said things to him. He left In a "hut. and I'm miserable. Robin, I want you to tell me the truth. Don't spare my feelings. Exactly, what Is wrong with the clothes I buy." So I became a brutal critic and said that the clothes were quite all right but the trouble was she didn't get herself together right I called hor attention to her hair, which always looks as If It were tossed on top of her head and held there by the graceA of Providence and not more than two hair- pins. She promised to go. to a hairdresser and have It becomingly colffed. Then I told her that she had a habit ot overlooking the details of her costume. Her shoes, gloves, neckwear and handbag never seemed to harmonize. In other words, the accessories of her outfit always "killed" the style of her gown and hat She reallzod that this was true, and asked me to go on a shopping tour with her to buy all these "little things" that mean such a great deal. We made tracks for the boot shop first for a race's shoes are, as a rule, half -worn out Wo agreed that a smart pair of tan Russian leather boots looked well on her feet They had unusually high tops and a sensible heel of medium height The tips were perforated and the boots laced with round silk laces. Then the salesman fitted her with shoes fop afternoon and evening wear. She chose one pair of black satin, as her evening gowns are blnck or white, and another of black patent leather to wear with her dressy afternoon frocks. TVs found it hard to decide which pair of buckles looked best on the satin slippers. The very newest nre ot silver or gold In filagree design, but a race finally bought a lovely pair ot cut steel buckles, oval In shape, Tl)ey are quite large and give the Uppers a colonial effect Next we went to that fascinating shop which specialises in handbags and umbrel la. It waa opened last week, and has the liveliest novelties I've seen In a long time. We looked at pouch bags of ribbed silk, embroidered or beaded In gay colors, leath er bags with sliver or gold trimmings, silk rocheted bags in Roman striped designs and velvet bags ofa.ll colors. I persuaded Orace to buy a bag of black velvet beaded with tiny cut.eteel beads In an effective, onventlonal design. It Is pointed at the bettom and trimmed with three tassels of Meel beads. A band of .narrow velvet rlb fcn Is used for the drawstring, and the lifting Is of exquMta' roe-exlored brocaded -"irk. I told Grace that she couldn't "go " .wrong" n ohoelng a bag of this type, as It. ' would go nicely with any costuma. Grace said that she needed a new urn-. lla and nelected one that oan be used for awwhlne or. rain. It Is ef dark blue silk. Wk a batkalite handle In dark blue and wlUte, Tha tips are of lvry.
