In The long range az five galleries the ordinary
exhibitors. with few exceptions. are below rather
-bar abreast Of their average work. Mr.. George
fgsusen has tender autumnal tiats e. his pct-
IRE a. Cleaners returning from the field. and Mr..
NacWhirter has pair Of bright pictures Of
terraces al lake como. with effects OF morning
ana afternoon light. Mr. ". Hatheren paints
the Guldhau welcome - the King with ANNA
ZION rather than brilliancy. Mr.. Herbert J.
Draper reproduces the nerman's idyI Of the sea
with chasle drawing Of the nude. and M Her
hert sehnalz has "a twilight scene IN Sarnaria,
with group Of peasants. There is large tim
her hauling scene in the New Forest by Miss
Lucy Kemp Welch which lacks the beauty OF
color Of 8Ir. Purses similar picture in the Dud-
