beautiful cloud effects. One Of these is
a painting of T6nbridge Wells; the
other represents a hunting scene in
quiet English lane-the red coated

Cox speciality. and along this line there
is big future for the artist He has
just completed a portrait of Mr.. Reyn-
ITEMS, and at present he is busily en-
gagged on a painting of Mrs. Tom Will
liams and her son. His studio at Easton
is we'll worth a visit, and his friends
are hoping TO induce him to later put
few of his works on exhibition in
one Of the city galleries.
A very interesting exhibition is
scheduled to open the month of Octo-
ber- 1t will attract great deal of at
tention in art circles, as from present
indications 1T is not only to be carried
out on a very large scale, but nearly
every painter and sculptor in San
Francisco will have on view one or
more pieces of his work. The affair is
TO take place in the Studio building in
Presidio avenue, under the supervision
of Arthur Putnam. Xavier Martinez, G.
Piazzoni and Maurice del Niue.
L. P. Laumer, who has been spend
Ing the summer at Cazadero with a
number of his pupils, has returned to

has brought back with him a great deal
of interesting material in oils and
water colors, which will later be put
on view. One of his most effective
water color sketches is at present hung
at Schussler's. 1t is scene in the red
woods and is a good sample of Lati-
mer's work
Miss darcy Cav and Dirk Van Erp
VIII open their studio and workshop in

ing for the last two or three months
at the summer school, will open a pri-
vate class for. instruction in designing
and metal work. For a number of
years she was associated in business
with Lawrence Buck. the we'll known
Chicago architect
While she has severed her actual con-
nection with him, they still do much
of their work in conjunction, as she
makes many of the floor plans and de-
signs the interior decorating of his
houses. Her speciality is interior dec
Grating, but she has also won quite
a name for herself for her hand
Wrought metal work and her design
in jewelry.

her studio is a hand made box in beaten,

II. J. Breuer has just returned from
a northern trip andsis for the present

tents himself with producing only
four or five canvases a year, and one
of his most recent is on exhibition
now at Courvoisiers 1t is a scene
in the Mission canyon and is deli

the property of Edward Rainey.
Another notable canvas on view in
the same gallery is one of Fred Yates
from Yokohama. 1t is "a bit of ma

phrase it, and is of particular inter-

Yates painting is a scarcity out
here.
Since he established his studio in
London some 10 or more years ago and
began his portrait painting only an oe-
casional landscape or two ever reaches

The one at Courvoisier's has the true
and unmistakable Yates touch, and
should find a permanent home on the
coast.
