with which they are brought into admi-
rable relationship. Much attention was
given to accuracy of detail. but at no
time apparently did the painter forget
that she was producing picture rather
than a canine portrait. 1t is just here
that so many animal painters have failed
and that Miss Hanson has scored real
success. The portrait of a 'Nonage-
marian" by Miss Hanson which was shown
iii the Corcoran Gallery's exhibition of
contemporary American paintings last
winter was included in the Chicago Art
Institutes recent exhibition and has
evoked favorable comment.
The first of this seasons meetings OF
the National Society of the Fine Arts will
be held next Wednesday evening at Hub

Ripley Hitchcock of New York. who will
Movement in SCULPTURE illustr TED in
the work of Antoine Louis Barge by
stereopticon views. This should be OF
especial interest on account Of the ex-
ceptionally fine collection of Barye's
bronzes which are owned in this city by
the Corcoran Gallery of Art and also
because of the approach Of the exhibit
ton of the works Of the late Edward
Kemeys, Americas great animal sculptor

The Society of Washington Artists, the
Capital Camera Club and the Washing
ton Architectural Club ara all making
preparations for exhibitions to be held in
the late winter and early spring at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. The Society of
Washington Artists omitted its exhibit
ton last winter on account of the CXAibi-
ton of contemporary American paintings
held directly under the auspices OF tn
Corcoran Gallery, which literally COM
pretended and grew out of the exhibitions
instituted by the local organization. This
winter, however, the society purposes to
hold an exhibition entirely restricted to
local work, and will bend all it's energies
toward making it noteworthy and signifi-
cant.

The Architectural Club omitted its an
nual exhibition last year in ord ,r not to
conflict with the exhibition ass mb,ed
by the Architectural Club of Baltimore
but this season it has a clear field and has
already begun it's preparations. The plan
is to have this chiefly an invited exhibi-
ton, including specific examples OF the
pest WORK Wnlcn has been produced and
placing special emphasis on certain
notable features. The handling of such
an exhibition is a difficult proposition, but
it can be made instructive and nterestin@
alike to the profession and the general
public.

to two important art events-the opening
of the Walters gallery and the assem-
blase of large exhibition of American
sculpture. The latter is to b. held in
the armory, and 5000 has been appro-
priated, or pledged, to meet the cost.
