avoids the big panoramic view which is SO often
put forth and is so often dull and restricts herself
to the little sunt corner, the artless uroup NJ

thing else 10 carry the imagination Of the spectator
INTO the intimacy'of garden. She has responded
with genuine appreciation to the beauty OF her

Lanier. Some time in the future he will no Doubt
hold a better exhibition. for this one IS full OF
promise and gives pleasant hints an artistic
personality.
The next exhibition at the Montross gallery will
