ART AND ART list S

The exhibition which opened ON the 14th
at Mrs Hoyle's residence and studio will be
continued three evenings Of next week
closing Wednesday evening. The paint
ings exhibited were the work OF Mrs.
Hoyles pupils, and though some OF them
have been hung at the Cosmos CluD anu
elsewhere, the greater part were SHOWN
for the first time. At the first glance one
was struck with the solid technlcal nan
ding of the Old paintings, especially IN the
sttIl-ufe subjects, Of which there was
very strong showing. Miss Nellie STAFFORD
exhibited studies Of vegetables and hsh. In
a 'Frieze of Grapes Miss AIDA Morratt
showed that she possessed good sense
of the decorative, and her study or carna-
lions was rich in coloring. She exhibited also
a portrait head. Miss Anna E. Lamb show
ed a tempting fruit piece-a ripe watermel-
on broken in halves and surrounded by
luscious peaches and clusters of grapes
Among the flow ers. chrysanthemums SEEM
ed popular subjects, as Mrs. NJ w. H.
Viewers Study in Pink and study by
Mrs. Jayne testified. Miss Fishers Au-
tumn Tints'' in a frame decorated with
dogwcod design carved by Miss Fisher
herself attracted considerable attention.
Mrs. Burton exhibited a study of vase
filled with many-colored cosmos MOWERS
the magnolias were considered especially
good. The marine by Miss W. l.. Ambrose
was one of the few exhibited. Few land
seapes were shown, and those thataWere
exhibited were not on a level with the
Still-like paintings. Mrs. c. w. Smileys
delicate pen drawings of objects under a
microscope, which she executed for sclen-
ttfic work, were very interesting, and 1nd1-
Gated a very sure hand and large store
of patience

Miss Bertha E. Perrie, who returned
from East Gloucester about fortnight
ago, was fortunate in selling number Of
ner sketches Wnlle IN the nOItH SHe DIiL5S
home, however, full portfolio of water
colors, some of which will undoubtedly ap-
pear in the winter exhibitions. Among the
sketches are the harbor scenes and views
of shipping, which insistently thrust them
selves upon one in East Gloucester. She
has also a great many views Of the moors,
in several of which the vast sweep and dis
lance of the mooriand is notably well rem
dered. Miss Perrie has painted with the
summer, finding that this method of work
ing was best suited to the vivid COloring of
the region One of the truest things which
she did was a very small study Of the
rocks by the seashore. She spent a few
weeks at the town of Ipswich near Glou-
cester. and found many picturesque things
there.
Miss Juliet Thompson's portrait head of
Miss Elsie b. Lord is now on exhibition at
Heitmullers. 1t is, like all of the artists
work, in pastel, and the modelling Of the
face is favorably commented upon.

from the White Lot. the architectural fea-
lures of the building are very we'll han
died Mr.. Bradford finds charcoal very
useful for careful studies, and a recent por-
trait in black and white shows his ability
In managing 1t with good results.
