and rare antiques and the best of art
craft things, many of which Mr. Gould
has made exclusively for his patrons.
Some good embroideries and appliques
are shown, and modelled leather, with
soft and most harmonious colorings.
Among the paintings of western IN
terest are two oils by Grace Hudson
of San Francisco who has won con-
siderable recognition for her portray
ais of the children of a northern tribe
of Indians, noted for their exceptional
beauty of feature. "Padah" CThe DolD,
the portrait of a wee Indian maiden
with her typical Indian doll, proves
that Miss Hudson has studied her sub
ject and materials well. The smaller
one, called "Potham" (hower)s Is a
little gem both in coloring and execu-
tion, the facial expression is wonder
fully true and the childish figure ex-
ceedingly well expressed.
Benjamin Chambers Brown landscape
artist of Pasadena will hold an eX-
hibltion of his recent paintings in Los
Angeles, beginning Monday, November
16. His summer sketching was in and
around San Francisco, so we may ex-
pect interesting interpretations of that
fascinating city and its environs, fun OF
the color harmony for which Mr.. Brown
is we'll known.
A visit to the charming new studio
of Franz II. Bischoff, painter, in South
Pasadena, from which may be seen
mountain and valley, cloud and cliff,
the gorgeous color of chrysanthemums
in it's surrounding gardens and trees Of
various kinds and shapes, makes It
glad news to artists longing for similar
advantages to know that Mr.. Bischoff
contemplates the building of studios
and apartments, on the adjoining lot to
his own, which shall be fitted in most
modern and complete fashion for the
accommodation of artists. Each is TO
consist of large and well lighted
studio, living apartment, bath and
buffet kitchen, and to be rented fur
nished for a moderate sum. Mr.. Bis
choff is perhaps best known for his
keramic work and as the originator and
maker of certain mineral colorS, now
used wherever the keramic art is prac-
tical and from the sale of which Mr..
Bischoff has accrued fortune. But
he is an enthusiastic worker with the
brush in oil, water color and tempera,
medium full of interest and charm,
and one little understood by the ma
iority of workers in water color. In
fact Mr.. Bischoff is one of the few
artists in this city who thoroughly
understand its possibilities and l1mlta-
tions. His sketches done in an hour 3
time, sometimes less, prove both ms
temperament and talent. Mr.. Bischoff
has taken up landscape painting with a
distinct aim and works with that con-
stantly in view, making for himself q
system of painting, slow but sure, FOR
attaining perfection of composition,
harmony of color and breadth. HIS
work is full of light and atmosphere
and always a certain vivacity of color

terest to the picture. While Mr. Bis
choff is working in anticipation of an
exhibition for the general public 1t Will
be leisurely and not until he has at
tained the standard he sets for himself

Fernand Lungreen of Santa Barbara

Mrs. Lungren accompanies her nus
band.
Miss Lila Horlocker has charge Of
the art classes which have lately been
made g. part of the regular course in
the Girls Collegiate school, Adams and

education are steadily advancing in
Southern California.

At the gallery of the college of fine
arts may be seen the craft work exc
cuted by Elizabeth Waggoner and Nell
Danely Brooker, who have recently be-
come teachers at that school. They
show pottery, metal work and stencil
ing in oil color, in which crafts they
instruct classes. Mrs. BROKER also ex-
hibits color etchings of a novel nature,
the chief interest of which is their
color effects.
Craft classes in pottery and metal
work were opened Monday, October 19.
