usually good and is q fitting testimonial
to the proprietors OF the gallery, who
have recently done SO much TO cncouTa ge
local artists.
MT. Heitmuiler expects to add another
large skyiight soon, which viii make the
place without question the best gallery
in the city and the choice for future
displays.
Andrews and Mcdonald show the most
ambitious canvasscs, which hang on either
side The entrance. La Petite LeoHtine'' is
the subject OF Andrews picture, W which is a
little girl seated ON high wall covered
With flowers, vines and shrubbery, and
forms very pretty setting for the fresh
young face and childish figure. The color
is very soft and delicate and tue pose
natural. 1t is one OF the artists repre-
sentative caDvasses, which are always
pleasing
''oh. Death, where is thy sting, Oh,
Grave, where is thy victory" is the
quotation which inspired Mcdonald to
paint "A Burial in the Catacombs." This
picture was recently mentioned in this
column, but second description viii not
come amjss from such u fine conception.
The figure of a beautiful woman in
long flowing robe and with upturned face,
stands in front OF a sepulcher in which
rests a corpse.
The dead body is wound in n close white
shroud and over it are placed fresh palm
leaves. A halo of light surrounds the head
OF the standing figure and falls in weird
effect over the dead. The drapery is well
handled and the light intensely real.
Howard Helmick shows pictures that
he recently exhibited, but they are too
good to grow old. and are just as pleasing
as recent ones. The best one Is Pan Is
Not Dead;' in which an old piper by the
roadside plays for two young girls, who
are dancing in the road. The picture is
full OF graceful action and the color superb.
Working for His Master and working
for Himself" are the other pictures which
are humorous and interesting.

dying day. II is one OF the gems OF the

and color and is probably his best. Even
