Of foreign paintings, chiefly French but there
are about dozen American examples OF con-
siderable merit. Among those Mr.. Inness's

In the distance. and q woman's figure. some
struggling saplinRs, and pool in the fore
ground. The landscape motive as such has
little charm; all the interest is concentrated on
the morning light and the misty atmosphere.
