An exhibition of water colors by va
rious artists was opened yesterday at
the studio of H. Schervee, 1926 Main
street. to remain probably several
weeks. There are about SIS pictures
by e. f. Angel l.. DaCosta, r. Ernst
c. FORTUNATE Robert Winter, L. Bian-
chi. Theo. Jones. Gabani and others
and they include many figure pieces
and interiors, Frenchy, Watteau-like
compositions, and Italian and Algerian
subjects. In most of them the color
ing is thin and cold and the handling
is academic. One absurd little thing
represents lady skating. She wears
decollete. short-sleeved gown and a
very short skirt, and has her knees
bare. as il she were a Scotch High
lander
Beside the pictures, there is a num-
Der of oval and oblong painted porce-
lain panels, the former tastefully franz
ed in gilt. These bear such subjects
as the Sistine madonna, Bakers choco-
late girl, and the so-called Queer
Louise.
{ Worcester will be all the poorer when
those water colors by Mr.. futile leave
the Davis galleries. Not since the
collection of John La Farge's paint

treat of splendid, luscious color II
| is a positive luxury to close the eyes
and conjure up those radiant, opalent
dreamy scenes that Mr.. futile has sc
I happily imprisoned. The person who

/ has missed a great source of pleasure
but it is to be hoped that Mr. Davis car
arrange to have them remain Longer

I the many VINO always mean to go, but

would last another week, etc, etc.
