Miss Cecilia Beaux's two portraits the one Of

grace; the other portrait that Of a man in
white flannel, seated with a cat in his lap is

Miss LothrOp. OF Boston is distinguished in
treatment. The figure is standing with the arms
crossed behind the back an attitude which
brings the chest somewhat too prominently for

Ihernitte's landscapes this year are neither
finer than nor inferior to the works produced by
this prolific painter in the last six years. They
have a sincerity and freshness Of honest open
air work The peasants, the washerwomeu, the
reapers and mowers the bright OF stormy skies,
the mellow tones Of ripe wheat, the truthfulness
Of earth and stubble. Of water jug, rake and
