SANBoRN's STUDIO. When the summer Wis
itor departs in the early autumn our local art
list, Mr.. P. A. Sanborn, closes his studio for a
time on pleasant days and takes to the woods
and shores to make sketches of local scenes
for the water colors he paints for the holiday
trade. These find their way into the homes,
and go abroad to friends, relatives and visitors
as souvenirs of Belfast and vicinity Aside
from the pleasure they give their recipients
they are constant reminders of the scenic at
fractions of this section and an incentive to
travel in this direction. This season Mr. San
born, in addition to his usual collection of
water coors, which includes still life, wood
land and shore scenes, has prepared a number
of motto cards, original in design, and each
bearing an original and appropriate verse; On
each card is a dainty water color and the let
tering is most artistic and attractive
