Ia taking last glimpsss a. the Art
League oNhibt before 81 closes there
are individual artists and pictures
/ Hhlch must not gO without mention.
ne vas unfortunate thai -four small
lcanVases Of fred Yates were received
from Japan Just In time to place upon
lhe wall. Not sent for that purpose,
but gladly welcomed as Mr.. Iales l.
an honorary member. They are suit
ably enclosed In unique dark wood
frames, and are clustered upon the
southern wall II one IL looking for
bright, catchy looking pictures, they
would be passed by. IL one is looking
for strong and individual technique,
and a knowledge of values and tone
quality. they VIII be studied, quite
apart from the local interest which
they possess Mr. Yates handling of
landscape Is quite different from that
OF his portrait work, and has TO grow
upon acquaintance, but it has the uuai-
ity Of not looking as II Il had just come
out OF a bandboX and needed time and
Light To subdue and mellow t. la no
sense Is II a mass of disconnected bits
OF color drawn into a few inches OF
space and left TO adapt themselves to
lone another Rather there Is a COM
plcte relationship and the color scheme
pursued by this artist places hue
here and tone there because they be-
long there as a part OF a comp ement
to all the rest. Not understood al a
first glance. | think this assertion
will bear the investigation which gives
lproof. OF the four canvases In ques-
ton Mr.. Laws kindly loaned two, and
hn at th.t gttH.. 4 t,.tF
close OF the exhibition, will continue
on sale.
A new contributor this season Is
Mrs. s. S. Kinney, who has returned to
the Islands after long absence abroad,
and is engaged In teaching language in
the High School, succeeding the good
work OF Mile. Boegli Her two most
noticeable and enjoyable pieces are
Nos lG, Fishermen in the Sound
Denmark" and 20. "In the Cove, Dem
mark" They are water colors, and
both In richness OF color and execution
surpass all her other framed work
But Mrs. Kinney Is by no means con.
fined TO the one medium but Is repre-
sented in the present exhibition beside

Near by. in the same stage alcove. 4
the china exhibit of Miss Hoffman, the
newly arrived teacher of art at Oahu
= College. There has seldom been seen
in Honolulu richer work Of its kind
and Oahu College and the Art League
are both to be congratulated upon the
y advent of the artist.
1t is TO be hoped that Mrs McCand.
, less will continue to contribute as
/, excellent work as her large rose bowl
II is good TO see that Mr.. Mist has
been busy once more with his pen, and
in the same line is some very good
work by sojourner here, Miss Helen
Jordan. Do not fail to see her China
; man, No. 70. and then you will surely
want to see the rest.
Miss Laughlin contributes two rinh
, of Mrs. Kelley are enjoyed as much at
ever.
The work Of Mr.. Dodge covers a lit
tie broader range of execution than
usual, and it Is not to be regretted that
the appearance of breadth seems 10 he
gaining One OF the most noticeable
of his combines a view Of the Central
Union spire and the barracks, and Ii
aptly named Church and State"
Mrs. Il. A. Jones Is to be congrltn-
lated on her firm, clear technique
which is full of delightful possibilities
A picture OF Marigolds by Mrs. Al
fred Willis Is alive with rich color, and
quite near to 1t Is found hanging a
carefully executed study OF a dog By
Mrs. Rothwell.
The work of Mr.. Walter Pinkham de-
serves more than passing commsnt
and We hope the future will see his
numbers multiplied
Two pieces by Y. Chung are very
interesting.
Mr.. Davey and Mrs. Weldon are rep
resented by one each, as we'll as Mrs
Decoto, in beach scene in Lahaina.
Ernest Parker makes his first ap,
pearance, and We shall look for him
again.
Two striking views by Mr.. Frank
MsComas are an evidence OF what ef-
; feet our tropical brilliance has upon
one who has keen eye for color. and
think they will set many a one "a
watching nature to catch these real
istic effects for themselves.
The visitors book shows a large a..
tendance yesterday, and II the number
, today corresponds, the members OF the
, League may feel that their efforts tc
afford a pleasing exhibition have beer
well anproCiated
