Mr.. Roorbach, who is a landscape
artist of considerable note. has been
making a study Of Hawaiian scenery
for the past several months, and has
been doing some very beautiful pieces.
He works entirely in water colors

abound. He has already completed a
number Of exquisite bits and those
who have seen them have pronounced
them little masterpieces. His work
is highly artistic and makes a very
strong appeal to Cne's esthet'c tastes.
