| how delightful l think your little
daughters work. 1t is so sure, so
full of fancy, SO altogether Won
derful. I congratulate you and her
and her mother. Only don't let her
be spoiled, please. She must go
on discovering beauty in simple
ways.
"With best wishes, am sim
cerely yours,
JOHN GALSwORTHY." /
Gabrielle d'Annunzio said Of Pa.
mela:
'This wonderful child, whose name
is like the name of new flower"
Walter de la Mare has added a few
lines of graceful verse to the long
list of appreciations of the child
artist and her work.
Priced by Collectors
The first recognition of Pamela's
art was in 1918. In that year the
Italian sculptor Bistolfi held an ex-
hibition of the art work of children
in Turin. Captain Bianco sent him
a consignment of Pamela's work. At
that exhibition it was received with
astonishment. There were interest
ing things by other children, but
they were just the work of children.
Pamela's work was recognized as
that of an artist.
In 1919 showing of her pictures
was given at the Leicester galleries
in London. Even at that early age
Pamela's work found place among
the prizes collectors. The exhibition
in London was placed by the gal
leries themselves. At the end only
three pictures remained unsold, the
Tate Gallery, South Kensington Mu-
scum and the National Gallery of
Ireland having been among the pur-
chasers. A number of the buyers
drew lots for the three remaining
pictures.
Now Pamela's work has come to
New York. At the time he decided
to bring the exhibition to this coun-
try Captain Bianco had the oppor-
! tunity to take it to several countries.
The number of persons viewing the
exhibition at the Anderson Galleries
would seem to justify his choice Of
New York for the showing. The
struggling groups of persons usually
attending an exhibition after the
opening day have been joined by a
large number Of others. The gall
lerles are not packed, by any means.
but there is decidedly a large crowd,
and some way it continues from
morning till night.
I The pictures range from small
sketches to large portraits. The
cataloguing has been done with !
view to the fact that part of the in
terest is in the age Of the artist.
This grouping shows phases Of (.
little girls life.
Growth of Her Mind

age of seven-eight" are such n;c-
lures as "a Fairy Tale" "The Tea
Party and Land O Cakes,
The "age of nine" shows dee;doa
larry tale interest -'C Cinderella y
"Annah and Fatima" and "prince

mails hold the center Of the stage for
several years. Then comes a change
, IN subject matter and vision. The

some of the best pictures she has
J cone, from an artistic standpoint.
J Her color sense as judged by these
pictures is remarkable.
While her father takes care ii Tho
crowds who go to see the work Ut the
/ little artist, she very contentedlv
, passes her days away from the work
5 Ct her hands. With the indifference
, CT Cezanne she turns to other
{ things with the completion Of pic
ture. Pamela knows nothing Of Of
, flce hours. The system advocated bv
+ some artists of allotting certain
I time every day for certain period
OF work, whether the spirit moves or
$ not, IS unknown to her. When she
does work she has deep concentra-
: ton and turns out great deal. but
10 Pamela, as to most young persons
az normal as she, life is very full Of
IL number Of things besides art.
