AHIlet In portraiture Mrs. Bennett is
also well represented. Her work is
far above the conventional ideas of por-
traiture. and bears abundant evidence Of
an independent personality.
Mr.. W. f. Peabody, the president of
the club. exhibits seventeen pictures,
many of them small in size. but sincere
and unpretentious. Peabody prefers
simple subjects. and low tones. His
pictures, however. have a quality about
them of which one does not tire.
Edward J. Daw has never been large
exhibitor in the number or size Of

in size, good in drawing and admira bic
in selection.
Miss Jane Bartlett is well represented
with some tiny portraits with narrow
frames Hardly OF a size for exhibition
work. they are, however. fine examples
OF a personal feeling and appreciation Of
the demands OF portraiture along lines
of pleasing originality.
Marine Subjects Well Treated.
W. II. +. Reinecke has among his col
lection of eight pictures TWO marines
which are unusually well treated. You

ing enlargements made from small por-
tons of larger negatives by which he
has demonstrated the fact that a part,
artistically. is sometimes larger than
the whole. His No. III, "A Deserted
Home" IS an unusual effect in a photo
graph, and reminds one Of the art Of
the engIaver or etcher more than OF
the product of the camera.
T. a. MuIlett. always a lover OF still
life. has SEINE interesting pictures of
flowers In flower studies the honors
are divided between Mr. Mullett, Charles

please all who are fond of the full light
OF the gun upon landscape studies.
