friends in this city. This special collection
y as selected from three or four of the best
collections in this country, and conse-
qUently they represent by far not the larg-
est, perhaps, but the most select coIlec-
ton that Mr.. Morris has ever been abe
10 get together.
One Of the most impressive pictures is
by an artist named LOuyet d Belgian, and
a sold medalist. The subject is a beau
tlfUI little Dutch girl dressed in the COS
tune Of that country and right by her
slde two busy young pigs, of
which she seems half afraid and
half amused. The figure is beauti-
fully drawn and full of viTility. The
SirIs complexion is rudy and trJnspaT-
ent- The texture of the garments Is well
rendered and affords a pleasant contrast
to the flesh tints in the bea UtifuIly drawn
and chubby arms The animals are 50
realistic that they suggest that great
artists work, George Morelan, who was
never surpassed IN tnat line. The whole
scheme OF color is a warm brown and is
wonderfully managed
Rosa BOnheuT is represented by a buff
Ialo. The subject is treated i'll her char
Gcteristic manner. The animal is at rest,
and is looking away from the spectator,
giving very strong impression of the
peculiar traits of this interesting animal
which is so closely identified with Amer
lea s national history. 1t is a rare OppOT-
tunity 10 get an example of this really
great artist whose reputation is world
wide.
a Channel Pilot" by French painter
by the name of l. BOUdy, is typical old
salt. He really seems to exude the dtmOS-
phere of the sea. He is evidently at the
Wheel. as there is a look Of intentnesS IN
TiS expression that indicates the import
ance of his duties. The face is very rugged
and the head well modelled, and with the
Southwestern tightly fastened and his oil
skins buttOned close, he Is truly den
izen of the sea.

Of this noted mans work

called In Danger and represents the re-
treat Of detachment of artillery iE full
gdllOp. The animals We'll as the men
teel the presence of real danger. They
both show the aEXiety and excitement Of
actual warfare. The picture IS delight

TOthng to be desired. The cloudy, wet
