in the little eddy of Broadway that sweeps the stairs OF
Goupi Il Yiberts Gallery, they certainly would
throng with eagerness that dream-haunted retreat
where the spiri, of LONELINESS gdes- casting pictured
shadows upon the walls and Silence becomes inspired
with the religion Of Art.
The propretors Of this exhibition have done wisely
in not rating their pictures being all ct dGHrres OF
the best mastersa trick which has been so often re-
peated that it has stalled public curiosity and has proved
a serious drawback TO the introduction OF really good
pictures The specimens in this gallery are mostly OF
the modern French and German schools and are gcnu
inc originals of the artists whose they bear.
