under his arm. The setting is a landscape.
This picture, begun in France and fin
ished in London, has many excellent quail
ties, so many that at first one wonders why

factory. Casting about for the reason. IL
seems probable tina the artist has seen
much--that he has been su bjected to many
influences, which are not yet welded into
a HOMOGENEOUS whole. Did one not know
that Mr.. Bohm is a we'll known teacher n
might expect 1t from the many sympathies
shown in this picture.
He seems 10 have looked at the old q
tians through the eye Of Reynolds. There
Is q hint OF Henner. a knowledge OF the
Munich school, a recognition OF George dc
Forest Brush.
Just what Max Bohm's own individuality
may be Is not clearly seen, but 1t would not
be surprising il he were some day to paint
a really fine picture. This one contains
several small faults. Two Sargents on the
same wall emphasize them.
Frank Brangwyn, A.. R. A., sends "A
Wine Shop" which is one Of the best pic-
lures he has ever painted. In the fore
ground are huge vegetables, pumpktnsI
guords and onions, and rising above them
two dark figures, half lengths.
One of these wine sellers leans on O largo
copper pan, and beyond is a lighted interiors
with a group of figures seated at a table.
II is a work Of great individuality, fine
COLOR and foroeful expression. One might;
however, complain that all objects, for
example, the faces and the pumpkins, arc
PAINTED with precisely the same continent.
Good portraits are shown by the we'll
known Scottish artist Sir George Reid, and
several promlent British painters and scalp-
tors are represented by characteristic
work. A Royal Acadenician who sends
something Of an unusual kind is Prof. Won
Herkomer. He seems to lay thought
IL time to draw some more attention to
himself, and his manner Of doing so is not
merely effective, but quite disooncerting.
The Vaccination with which ne startles
the unwary is an immense portrait Of Mrs.
S. l.. Lazarus. The upper half Of the an

be leather, a most worthy material. much
neglected by artists. One is glad to SEQ
about twelve square, feet Of II here.
Against the lower part OF this fine ex-
nanss Of leather are relieved the lady's
head and auburn hair. She wears a dress
of strong lapis lazuli blue and a crimson
waistband. She is seated on a couch, close
to a bright green cushion, and at her side
Is a vase containing lilacs. .
Cold grays from the surroundings are re-
fiected in the lady's faoe--a handsome
face, with rather the air Of q tragic muse.
Perhaps she wonders why the Herr Pro-
lessor should begin by violating the or
binary rules OF composition and finish by
emitting to harmonic his color scheme.
Possibly che has never heard Of Urper-
nantsmus. ''- .
Dainty jewelry, inspired by Lalique. Ia
shown by Lucien Gaillard Of Paris. Countess
Fedora Gleichen and the Countess Of
Wemyss are among the senders Of sculpture.
A little portrait by Sir Philip Burne-Jones
shows the former at work in har studio In,
we learn, st. James's Palace.
The Earl Of Wemyss shows little smudges
in colored chalks called sSenile Sunny
S~ouvenirs.' The Warehouses Of CRANKY
contributes pencil portraits Of langlid
grace and three water color studies Of
flowers come from Princess Victoria Ia
tricia OF C~onnaught-a firm talent, ap-
proximating, indeed, to cast iron.
There are other Countesses, a sprinkiing
of Baronets and n lonely Chevalier. The
New Gallery summer exhibition is a highly
fashionable show. q
