Local Contributors.
The group contributed by Miss Virginia
Pralle of this city is likewise notable. It
consists of four portraits and a decora-
tive study. which is. however scarcely
more decorative than her simple figure
work. One of the portraits is of Mr..
Hobart Nichols. the artist. and others are
of his wife and child. There is rich

lectorS.
The exhibition opened late last fall in
Providence, and comes here from Pitts
burg where on a single Sunday afternoon
II was viewed by three thousand persons.
Later 1t will go to Chicago, st. Louis and
other cities, concluding its circuit in New
York next May.
IT is truly an International salon, for
from every quarter of the globe works have
been contributed. Several have been sent
from Cape Town, South Africa: one from
Bombay. India Cuba and Mexico are rep
resented as well as our South American
neighbor Argentine Republic. England
boasts twenty-one exhibitors, Italy ten. and
Germany, Hungary, Austria, Holland and
Spain are all creditabiy represented Nor
has America been forgotten; each section
of the United States has contributed Its
quota and Washington has claimed Tor
herself a place.
Universally of Art.
The universally of art was never. prob
ably. better demonstrated. Though the sub
jects are varied and the styles diverse the
collection here brought together might
readily pass as the output of single club.
The same tendencies are generally notable
throughout. and the same Technical skill
quite universally betrayed.
The desire to be artistic has mingled the
sentiments of many modern photograph
ers. In the eyes of the. extremists. for
considerable period, foggy prints stood for
subtIety of expression, and inexplicabie ones
for the height OF impressionism. Straight
forward photography was frowned down
upon, and pseudo-craft Instituted In It's
place. That day is almost past. The pho
tographers are learning that to be artistic
does not mean TO be eyasive. and that clear
cut masses are often as significant as lost
outlines
The exhibits have been grouped by exhib-
itors. alphabetically arranged and consecu-
lively numbered To the left of the en-
trance on the semi-circuiar wall serving as
an introduction TO the show are eight excel
lent prints by Mrs. @. A. Barton OF Bir-s
mingham. England. one Of which received
the 800 purchase prize given by the Amer
lean FEDERATION for the best picture. IT.

collectively is exemplary and individually
yields interesting material. 1t shows,

Overgrown Designs.

Irish lads and colleens; buxom Germans
and petite French monsieurs and

that their delivery on Valentines morning
