the best possible advantage. and its
many attractions were greatly enjoyed
by the vast throng.
The chief feature last evening was
the charming music rendered by Cas-

Nightingale and Blackbird" (Kling),
by Messrs. Koppitz and Bridges, was
greatly admired, as was the march

Miss Slocum's Hungarian Prunes"
C23O Is only fair. We are decidedly
pleased with Helen E. Coan's ''Syca-
mores'' C234. Mr.. Stanton's stul Life
piece (244) II one Of the best In the
gallery. He has achieved especially
happy effects in the fruit: It is of the
very coinage Of art. There is not
In the collection a canvas Of still
life OF this order that is
stronger and Of such feeling, or that
| more, or so much. attracts and holds the
eye and satisfies the judgment. Stanton
is proving more and more the possession
| of broad versatility in his art accom-
plishments. Mrs. Bonds portrait OF a
Chinaman is good portraiture, but the
| subject is not a pleasing one. How she
can expect to dispose Of the picture save
to the subject rather puzzles US. yet it Is
marked for sale.
Now that the gallery is about to close
we trust that lovers Of art will once
| more give patient and critical attention
| to the collection Of sketches by artists
| on the east wall Of the gallery near the
entrance. Here we have the studio
work Of the artists brought home to us,
| the sketches, finished and unfinished,
out Of which they have evolved greater
works. Here are the thoughts Of the
artists fixed on canvas In the hour Of
| their birth. Among these skstchee-it
Is the first time any such were ever
shown here-are the works of Joullin,
Stanton. Judson, Maher Bloomer, Ko-
hayashi, Robinson. Pages, Armer and
Mention. If only Heath, Hill. YelIand
and the others could have been induced
to add to the collection, what a rich
gathering 1t would be. Nevertheless, it
Is a chief attraction, one full Of inter
est. and one that stands to the credit OF
superintendent Stanton highly, since
ne originated the idea Of such a display
A correspondent submits this criti-
| cism that may create some amused
comment: II am In a modest line of

white bow? or does she sit on a milk

at these two pictures. Yours, PASTE"
