'ake advantage OF the short remaining time
before they are removed, and enjoy a seunter
through the galleries to see for themselves.
There is always q suspicion attached to pro.
fest ed old matters, unless they have the most
unimpeacbabIe testimony to their genuine
ness. The "IGcce Homo" No los, is supposed

there Is no positive assurance. Mr.. Beaumont
purchased II from Professor Ruddiman, of Ba-
varia, In l6iS, IL having been oristuaily selected
by the Professor from the collection Of Eugene
Beauharnois, at the sale which took place In
1915. These facts are all that are Known about
the picture, but whether IL be by Guido or not
Its merits as a work Of art are indisputable
The frame which surrounds IL is q fine wood

rich piece Of color, splidly painted. and one of
the most striking works In the exhibition.

E. p. Van Bommel, gives us view of the gro

Dutch city. Preparing tor the Masquerade ,

contrast of moonlight and candle light. 1t Is
boldly painted, and on many accounts
we prefer 1t TO the more elaborately

light" No l02. by A. Roster. of Paris is one OF
'he gems of the collection, and a fitting COM
panion piece to the fine marine OF Andreas
Aschenbach, ofDusseldorf, "The Coast of Schve.
nipgen," No l08 These two paintings are
worthy OF the highest commentator we can
bestow. Laurent de Buel, of Brussels has three
meIitorious pictures, "Shepherdess with Flock"
No. l33; sheep and Goats" No 100; and "Shep-
herd with Flock Early Morning" The atmo-
spheric effect in this last tnamed work is finely
rendered. "The New Neighbors First VISIT"

Pet Spaniel" No, 1866 is also finely executed,
"The Coast of Normandy" No. l30, by O.
HC guet OF Berlio, is an admirable picture, by
an artist of acknowledged reputation. An
interest apart from its merits as work of art
attaches to "Ou the Fence" No 127 by the late
W. s. Mount, N. A, This is a clever little picture
by an American artist, who did not leave too
many works to carry his name to posterity.

cabinet pictures in the collection. the merits of
