London, February II.
A monograph by the Spanish critic |
and painter Beruete on the Parma We
lasouez has been printed by the present
owners of the picture as a convincing
proof of it's genuineness. 1t gives In de-
tail his reasons for deciding that this Is
the original portrait OF Philip Nv, paint
ed at Fraga in 1644, and that the pict-
IRE in the Dulwich collection Is copy
~ II bv Mazo. The most cogent one is
the fact that there are signs in the
Parma portrait of correction on the ielt
hand and the linen cuff, and well
marked change of position of the hand'
which was repainted dry with little
naste. With the passage of time the
traces of the collar and its color nave
reappeared the hand has received yel'
lowish tint, and the original color -
found under the second finger. AS these
changes can easily be explained in

Not satisfied with discrediting the Dull
wich portrait as "a fine copy, but only
a copy nevertheless, Of the Parma por-
trait" Beruete assigns TO the brush OF
Mazo three other pictures which nave
nassed as genuine works Of Velasduez

of Olivares on horseback, formerly N

are similar to those suggested by MS
studv of the Dulwich portrait. The

on Saturday night, the new year was
ushered in with more than the Gus
tomary observances in London The
"Hogmanay Nicht" celebrations were
held as usual outside St Paul's ca
thedral, but were hardly as Scottish
in character as in former times How
ever, at least one piper was present
and two soldiers in kits appeared as
the clock struck the hour of 10 and
joined the thoroughly cockney crowd
in singing "Auld Lang Syne"
On the river the advent of the new
year was heralded by a general blow
ing of sirens and steam whistles from
tugs and steamers. followed by hearty
cheers from sailors and bargeers.
Large crowds of fashionable people
gathered at all the leading West End
hotels to see the old year out, and
many novel and picturesque ways Of
illustrating the event had been devils
ed and successfully carried out.
