the largest in the world, including
several thousand paintings and pieces
of sculpture, is popularity known as
the Old Salon, as distinguished from
that Of the National Society of Fine
Arts which was held two weeks ago.

Two Good Pictures.
II. o. Tanner, the painter Of relig-
ious subjects, has two fine vancasses,
one represents Christ at the home of
Lazarus; the other shows Mary seated
with a lighted taper in her hand, the
light catching here and there on the
fieure and face and casting shadows
on the wall They are considered two
OF the best pictures that Tanner has
done for many years, full of genuine
religious feeling.
Max BOhm has remarkable group
or nude figures entitled "springtime.' :
The color scheme is green and golden
flesh color Sunshine and reflections
OF Sunshine play over the figures in a
gay manner In the foreground Is a
happy mother seated by a stream with
her child on her knee. Her golden
hair falls around the child which isl
watching fish in the water: On one
side a fawn is drinking. The woman
and child are in brilliant sunshine,
while ten nude figures stand in thel
thick green foliage not far behind in
a GOLDEN shadow man is picking
fruit Children watch him and close
by are other couples. The painting is
bold and vigorous. The group of fig
ures form a mass that extends IN a /
continuous band across the canvas. i
Miller Keeps Up Reputation.
Richard Miller, who is considered
as one or the most skillful tone blend
ers. has two pictures which fully
maintain his reputation. One is an
outdoor picture, a lady walking. She
has cerise dress which stands out
against gray sky and deep blue sea.
The general effect is sombre. The Il
an interior, and being lightly andl
brightly painted, contrasts pteasinglyI
with the other exhibit. Like a good
many other pictures in the Salon 1t is
called "Sprfngtime" A woman sits
In a window sewing, sunshine glintlng
through half closed blind, striking
brilliant accents from gaily plumageu
birds in cages and flowers.
Lionel Walden has abandoned his
remarkable studies OF night effects in
great cities which formed the attrac-
ton of several previous Salons, and
has returned TO the sea. Waiting /
for the Fishing is a Mediterranean
subject The foreground is all IN
shadow, in which two figures are seat
ed on the sand mending nets by theil
light of a lantern and of the moon,
iuh
from the water. There is white boat
in which are two figures strongly re-
Elected in the water. The general col
or scheme is a blue green.

been accused of being Theoretically |
sealed to modern progress Its com
mittee is sensible to this reproach,
and is seeking to remove it. Although
the wall space exceeds in area that of
any annual exposition in the world,
