rather cold tones Of the duh. gray
brown houses and OF the street leading
to the domes and spires OF the distant
city.
His Washing Day Scene" by the
river bank in the same town is also ex-
ceHent. His landscape a sketch of
Golden Gate park, the third of his pic
lures exhibited at the fair. is brilliant
with the touch Of spring in the wild
flowers in the hollow.
Noticeable also in this view are his
interesting pastel studies, depicting
quiet little scenes that win their own
appeal. especially at this season of the
year.
Mrs. Best is also represented by
oil studies of sand dunes and by some
good figure studies in water color and
pastels. The Herald is one of the
best OF these. although nothing could be
more exquisite than her picture OF
mother and child. which was exhibited
in Seattle and which, as the name sug-
gests, is study OF a mother grooming
her baby to sleep.
An interesting group in this display
is the Photographic work of Arnold
Schroeder, both in landscapes and fig
ure work. Along this line he shows re-
markable promise, the photos exhibited
being perfect in finish and artistic in
conception, his warm sepia tones being
especially soft and velvety.
Warren Keith has some dainty water
colors and some exceptionally clever
Nevada scenes on view. and George
Crawford is well represented by col
lection of water cOlors and oil land
scapes-
Marie Parrish's character drawings
in tinted charcoal. E. Busenbach's pen
and ink exhibit, Kempe's water color
studies. Myrtle Young's good pastels
and McNie's mountain scenes are
among the best groups of work shown
by the pupils

planned to continue It for the remain
der of this week.
Miss Isabelle Tenant has issued a
most interesting calendar appropriate
not only at this season. but OF par
ticular interest because OF the move
ment on foot to preserve the old land
marks of California and to restore as
much as possible the erumbling mis-
sions. Miss Tenant spent several
months in travelling through Califor-
MIA. visiting the various missions. and
as result OF her trips some unique
old etchings and drawing have been
brought to light. sketched when the
missions had not been laid waste BY
time.
All of these pictures. covering all o.
the missions the state has known, Miss
Tenant has worked up in sepia tones
and used for her 1910 calendar. The
outer page has sepia tint of the San
Gabriel mission bell below the script.
California Missions" and each calen-
dar has a little booklet accompanying
IL. giving brief history of the various
missions and their work The calen-
dar idea itself is carried out by the
months. each in a mission bell on the
last sheet These calendars are on view
in nearly all of the art stores OF the
city and are attracting considerable at
tention. especially among the eastern
visitors to the coast.
Chaplin has a number OF his late
studies in pastels and oils on exhibition
at Paul Elders. This group il better
than the one he had on view in the
annual newspaper artists exhibition at
the 81. Francis. and as II shows some
OF his characteristic local scenes
among which may be mentioned those
of San Francisco in the Making" it is
or particular interest. Chapins work
is in a style all his own and evoked a
great deal of favorable criticism and
comment when last exhibited His
present exhibition will cOntinus until
