These paintings are chiefly landscapes
representing Japanese scenes and are
subtle in treatment but western In style.
They are rather more broadly handled
than much of the modern japanese work,
but they lack the decorative quality which
was the distinction OF the old school. II

prominent position in the room devoted
to illustrative work. Miss Perrie, Miss
Jackson and Mr.. Robert Coleman Child
also have made excellent contributions.
This is one Of the most notable exhibl-
lions of water coloTs which has been held,
for not only is the quality Of the work
shown exceptional, but its character re-
markable. Distinctly more accomplished
than commonly, 1t Is also more indivtd-
ual artistic and refined. And, what Is
more, 1t is beautifully arranged. The
pictures are well chosen and admirably
hung. so that nothing initiates against
their effectiveness. Much work by dis
tinguished French artists Is included,
too. While this makes an interesting fea-
ture it helps to emphasize the merit Of
American productions.

Women are proverbially moro difficult
to portray than men, but children are
harder than either. In fact. in review
ing the art history Of the world it is
found that there are among acknowledged
masterpieces fewer child portraits than
any other. Velasauez's "Infanta," Van
Dyck's Children of Charles T. and Gains
borough's Blue Boy come directly to
mind on account partly of their isolation
For this reason especial interest attaches
itself to a portrait of little lass which
has recently come into Mr.. w. G. Fisch-
er's keeping 1t is a full length. life size
portrait by Gainsborough of little Eng
girl of eight or ten years of age standing
with bare feet on the edge of a wood
land stream. She has brown hair and
eyes, and wears a simple frock of white
muslin. Perhaps the picture was not
painted for portrait. but it carries con-
viction as such. There is innocency and
youth in the face Of this child who across
the space of more than a century looks
out upon the world with wonder end trust
Little does it matter today who she was
for she still lives in this painttng-here is
consummate art. Beautiful indeed is the
relation of the background to the figure,
and marvellous also the handling of tex
lures. But it Is the painting of the head
and feet that will especially attract the
cohnoisseur and give greatest delight 10
the professional painter. This Is indeed
a rarely beautiful picture.

To an unusual degree Thackeray dwells
on the childhood and youth Of the char
acters he depicts, lingering fondly and in
details over the pranks and pastimes
the school and college days of his heroes
and heroines. The present volume has
presented these sketches Of childhood as
complete. stories, without the adult plot
with, which they are surrounded in the
novels from which they are taken. The
object in so pres enting them has been to
create an interest in Thackeray's work
among young readers.
