tetl contains several new features of note
An article on ''Some Portraits of Queen
Elizabeth is magnifcently illustrated
after the most authentic portraits of the
Virgin Queen, in which her passion for
jewels and dress is strikingly evident. R.
Davis Benn writes of the National Arts
Competition in London, with illustrations,
! and paragraph in the Note Book, apro-
pos of the National Arts Club and its
coming exhibition of metal work, takes
the ground that the future of the applied
| arts in this country, as in England, must
depend on the amateur and the independ-
ent artist workman. In line with this is
the first of series of practical articles on
the carts of Metal,' which gives view
OF an amateurs workshop and explains
how easily the fascinating art of repousse
may be acquired. The well known car
toonist and illustrator, W. A. Rogers, be-
gins series of articles on Figure Draw
ing" highly original and suggestive. The
departments of Ceramic, Oil Painting,
Pen Drawing and The House are, as usu-
al, well filled. The cover is specially
attractive and seasonable, being an adap-
tation of a picture by Brispot, and the
color plate, ''Who Whistled, is after
a clever study by the celebrated painter
of animals, j. H. Dolph, and is by itself,
worth the price of the number. j. W
