The FINE ARTs-There are some very
attractive paintings on exhibition In several Of
our bookstores. The portrait In pestel Of a Bal
timore beauty In Philip a Solomons' window is
the observed Of all observsrs.n The artist ap.

city has something 70 "oroW oVsr' In the way OF
tho "fairest Of the fair"
In Markriter's, on Seventh street, may be sesn
two very remarkably hne paintings Of tho "yir.
gin Mary" and "Dante and Beatrice, p" by Mayer,
