etchings. con the Dee" by Johnstone
Baird, is remarkable for It's luminous
sky The one Brangwyn included. The
Feast Of Lazarus" is fine, as All MS
prints are, but not quite so effective
as some. Albany llowarths etchinss, OF
which there are several, are striking
in effect and fine IN texture. There are

lovely. most delicate in its green's. u
represents row Of trees against
stone wall, indefinitely drawn and eX-
pressive Of the poetic youth OF the
YEAR One of the most engaging pct
ures is The Runnell,' by the late

all the grace Of manner at the com

Several men of note are represented
among the oil paintings. There Is

York streets are just as good subjects
for pictures of this sort Is are the
"rue," Of Paris. or the thoroughiares
Of any European city. The little Ie-
scent from the Cross by Elliott Dam
gerfieid is striking IN composition anu
superb in It's luminous color. IL Is one
of the gems OF the snow. lie has made
wonderfully decorative use OF
