his anxiety to preserve the balance Of his de-
sign, puts a strong emphasis on the central
motive. There is sound reasoning in this, but
1t is important that emphasis should not be too
heavy. Mr. Reid has avoided the difficulty with
mastery tact. He gets his centre, but he does
not obtrude 1t. He strikes the golden mean, and
he does this not only through his composition
but through his color. Take away the pillows of
vapor ascending from beneath the enthroned
figure, and the middle section of the decoration
would be a pyramid of form, aggressive III it's
mass. The pearly steam conveys enough of an
idea of density to preserve a feeling of some
base for the group and at the same time the
light tones help to Tighten the effect leading
the eye by almost insensible transition to the
left.
In these two other groups the artist repeats
the firm, frank strokes of color which occur be
tween them. The orange tree with its golden
fruit one end, the boughs heavy with ruddy
apples at the other, clearly defined as are
the and other accessories. the draperies of
the figures and the background of natural
growths with the blue sky behind them all Rut

which they fused together. Tall buildings

Inc color scheme is, indeed. managed from
beginning to end with as much restraint and
taste as vigor In the pivotal group boldness
and delicacy 90 hand in hand. The draperies Of
the central figure, beneath the shadow OF the
ven which she is uplifting vibrate between
tones or blue and white that catch golden
unts from the light outside. Behind her the
rich greens of heavy foliage are rendered richer
by the juXtapoSition of the solid colors of the
flag. The flesh tints in the TWO subsidiary fig
ures and the pale opalescerce OF their wings
adjust themselves harmOniously to the coors
in the trees and the flag and to the steam rep-
resented rising about the whole group This
complex and yet essentially unified effect is re-
markable for one virtue in particular where the
color is concerned. Students of mural painting
