MI II. 8. Bradford has been occupied
laiely by his work in charcoal and 3en
drawing. He has just completed an excel
lent portrait in charcoal of Mr. Bowen
which is commendable both as a likeness
and as an artistic piece of ,,ortraiture
Aside from this. Mr. Bradford has been
working on a number of pencil sketc hes
mainly Of horses and cattle carefully
studied from nature. \ recent pen and ink
sketch, representing an old man reading a
newspaper, and young hopeful Fostering
him with questions, is interesting as a
piece OF illustration, and also in that the
man in the drawing is very good likeness
of Mr.. Bradford's ia her. Aside from This
Mr.. Bradford has a good deal Of other pen
and ink work which he has been engaged
on lately, including a number of heads I'm
various poses and a silhouette i'm black

Whether Mrs. Hoyle will spend her sum-
mer in the empire state or in "ole Vir-
giny'' she has not yet settled. If she goes
to the former region she expects to be in
Tonkers for some time and 10 do some
sketching along the Hudson. Wherever
she goes the time she expects to devote 10
art will be spent mainly in outdoor work.
Mrs. Hoyle will undertake a number of oil
portraits on her return to The city next fall.

Before leaving town this week for the
summer Miss Grace NJ. Patten executed
quite striking portrait of her mother in
oil. This was about the last work Of any
consequence that Miss Patten did. but
previous to this she painted a portrait Of
Ex-Governor Perham of Maryland. and has
also done a number Of smaller things dur
ing the past week. She VIII have an op-
portunity to do some very effective land
scape work where she expects to be. and is
planning to devote her time mainly TO this
branch OF work.
Miss Hattie f. Buriette left the city on
Thursday for a pretty spot in Maryland,
where she expects to divide her time be-
tween work and recreation. She has not
done very much color work since her eNhi-
bition in the spring, but has confined her
self to black and white. One thing execut-
ed recently which is in fun color is a pastel
head of a dark-haired beauty.
Letters that have been received from
Miss Clara Hill, who went abroad to study
in the spring, bring the information that
she has entered one of the Julien studios
She is residing in the suburbs of Paris
with her mother and Mrs. w. Irving
