! A. e. Fitzpatrick, Ralph Fullerton
Mocine was elected as an active menu
Der, and several others admitted to
| associate membership. 1t was decided
by the club that it's first exhibition be
deferred until autumn. making 1t prob
ably one OF the first exhibitions of the
year, as many of the most prominent
members are already off on summer
sketching tours, and IT, would be diff
ficult to make a truly representative
showing at this time.

An exhibition of aquarelles and oils
by Ada Frances Lathrop has been &C.
cupying one of the smaller rooms at
the Kanst gallery during the past week
and the time has been so short 1t is
hoped the exhibition may be continued
another week. The collection is "a most
pleasing one, principally water colors
of picturesque bits of the old world,
and most of these nave been exhibited
abroad or in the eastern galleries. "A
Florentine Bit, with Bellosguardo in
Distance" is one Of the most charming
of these, and "Old Houses on the Arno,
harmony of color "Environs of Paris"
is fresh and crisp in treatment, rather
suggestive of architectural rendering,
and "Polperro, Cornwall" shows I'M
usual directness in the handling of
water color All of the Cornwall
sketches are most attractive, both as
to subject and manner of presentation,
and it would be hard to find more de-
lightful scenes than this artist has
chosen to depict
Beginning Monday, March IA, the
larger exhibition room at the Kanst
gallery will be devoted to the work of
Frank j. Girardin, known as one of
the famous bleach tree painters of
Indiana. The landscapes to be shown
are principally wood interiors and are
most sincere and truthful interpreta-
lions of the landscape of the middle
west Mr.. Girardin is a prominent
member of the art colony at Richmond,
Ind, is identified with the art inter
est in the activities of Cincinnati as
one of the great art centers of the
west He has painted many of the his
toric spots of Indiana and several of
these have been purchased by the pub
lie schools of that state. The recent
exhibition of Mr.. Girardin's work at
Long Beach proved most interesting
one, and many of the same canVaseS
are to be shown here.

Benjamin Chambers Brown is holding
his ninth annual exhibition of California
to continue until the end of March,
and any of those so unfortunate as
to miss seeing this splendid exhibition
when on view at the Kanst gallery a
few weeks ago have still another OPP
portunity to see some of Mr.. Browns
latest and strongest work.
The Palette club held its regular
meeting at the School of Art Design
on the evening of March T. The sub
ject for the evening was California"
and some excellent sketches were pro-
duced by the members of this organiza-
ton of earnest art workers.

eral of the striki~ compositions from
earlier exhibitions of the year are in
the collection, which is confined entire
ly to Central American subjects, and
in addition to these a number of new
and equally noteworthy paintings. OF
these, a moonlight scene, THE Hill, +"
is a conspicuous one, with its tall
cypress trees like sentinels against the
star-lit sky; a small figure study of a
woman in black against gray WALL
golden in the sunlight, is exquisite in
its tonality and quite Whistlerian in
its studied simplicity. Another figure
study shows two beggars in a door
way, and beyond glimpse of blue
sea, adds a touch of the interest this
painter knows so we'll how to introduce
and still keep in proper relation to the
whole These paintings will remain at
the Woman's club house until the first
of the week and the opportunity to
view them is a timely one, as they
will soon go to san Francisco for an
exhibition. and Judging from the artis-
tic popularity there it is probable that
MANY of them may not return.
