where Romeo does not die till Juliet
awakes from her trance. Mrs. Kemble con-
sidered this finer end from a dramatic
point of view. 1t certainly is" Is il? The
scene on the stage is terrible enough as it
is, and the emotions of terror and pity are
as intense as an Aristotle could wish.
How, then, could we bear the agony of a
scene between the dying Romeo and his
awakening bride? 1t is horrible to read
of, but to set before ones eyes would be,
in my judgment, intolerable.

Miss Eva W. Withrow has attained dis
tinction as portrait-painter. The sketch
on this page is from portrait of ]. Frank
Currier who was Miss Withrow's teacher
in Munich, and who is one of the first of
the impressionist school. Mr.. Currier is
a native of Boston, but for twenty years
has made his home IN the German art
center. His painting, "The Whistling
Buoy" created something of sensation
in the art world a few years ago. Miss
Withrow takes prominent rank among
our portrait-painters. Some years ago she
painted sketch of San Francisco, look
ing toward the bay, from her studio. 1t
attracted attention, and was sold and
taken to England. The owner of this
painting recently died, and now Miss
Withrow is eager to regain possession of
the painting, and has made overtures to
purchase it back

Miss Sarah E. Bender is known among
artists as the "poetic flower painter"
Violets and roses are her favorite subjects,
although her work has wide range. Her
painting of lot of superb Bon Silene roses
and agrippinas has won much favorable
comment, although not more so than her
attractive picture of violets in a glass.
The rose painting above mentioned was
originally sketched from flowers plucked
in May, before Eastern roses are in bloom.
1t might be observed here, too, that the
garden fiowers-even those that are intro
duced here from the East-grow larger and
more beautiful than they do elsewhere.

The sketch by Miss Adelaide Hanscom
of Berkeley is a meritorious representa-
ton of a scene in the Coos River country,
Oregon, about fifteen miles above the
mouth. The mountainous country there
is thlckIy timbered, and the underbrush is
so dense that one is forced to cut his way
through it if he does not take beaten
trail. Fir, spruce and cedar trees abound.
In fact, bears and panthers make their
dens in that region, which is wild in more
ways than one. Miss Hanscom was a
member OF a camping party that spent the
summer OF '94 on Coos River, and her col
lection of sketches taken thereabouts is
something OF which any young artist
might we'll be proud.
