exquisite talent. 1t is the miniature por-
trait of a lady seated and is one of the
most charming specimens In the exhibi-
ton. Mrs. M. p. Darwin has several
lovely miniatures and Mrs. Wallis are
charming.
A head of Dante is in plaster bas re-
lief of exceptional interest 1t was sub
mitted by Mrs. Julia Mountfort. Mrs.
Tarrant is exhibiting a charming Dutch
scene done on porcelain. Miss Cowles of
New York, but former Birmingham girl,
has several paintings. One is a negress
of the ante-bellum days crowned with a
turban fashioned of a red bandana hand
kerchief. Mrs Lawrence Buck of Chi
cago, formerly of Birmingham, has dis
played several beautiful landscapes
Miss Mary Kirkpatrick, who is excep-
tionally talented, has several examples of
her wcrx hung in the exhibition. One is
the portrait OF little girl-the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. P. Il. Lallande An
other is a study of a young woman in
a long coat. The pose is notably grace
full ard unstudied. Miss Carrie Hill s
landscapes are also notably good, one of
unusual interest being a sketch of'a por-
ton of the road over Shades mountain.
Mrs. 1iptons landscape and those of
Miss Dorothy Orr will also be much ad-
mired. Mrs. George b. Turner had placed
only tive specimens on exhibition yester-
day, but both are well chosen frons her
splendid collection. The model is ex-
qulsite ano a study of a girl in pink
is extremely creditable.
Miss Alice Rumph, who studied with
the artist DaingerHeld this summer in
the mountains of North Carolina, where
he has his studio at Blowing Rock, has
placed some small landscapes in oil on
exhibition. The series speak very elo-
quenty of the work done by the young
artist during her absence from home.
These pictures make up only part of
the exhibition. The only way to obtain
a correct idea of the work done by our
local talent or the advance made in art
since the last exhibition is to visit the
hall in the Forbes building where the dis
play is made
