and sky, the charming head of a girl
by Fuller phillips Andover has one
equally fine) and the grave and splen-
did portrait Of woman, full length,
by Eakins. But also friends are
missed, some of which have in all
probability been lent to exhibitions
elsewhere, in keeping with this gall
lery's generous policy.
In the lower front hall hang two
charming little Observation-Disclosures
colorful painting of crowds passing
over a bridge in Venice and Boudin's
little picture of q French seacoast re-
sort with gay little figures-a gem of a
painting, big in signif1cance-always
delightful-a strong anchor in the
rough sea of contemporary criticism.
It is understood that next month a
regional exhibition of contemporary
painting will be held in the Phillips
Memorial Gallery through the CO.
operation and under the management
of Studio House. This will consist,
for the most part, OF works invited
from artists studios-artists living or
working in Washington and nearby
Maryland and Virginia-but that also
others may submit to a jury, the per-
sonnel of which will be announced
later. The oil paintings will be shown
in the Phillips Gallery and the water
colors in Studio House. At least such
an exhibition will give the artists op-
portunity to become better known to
one another-this with special refer
ence to newcomers-and the public
the privilege of seeing their works.
THE work of local artist who, hav-
ing very lately "won her spurs,"
has not heretofore exhibited is on view
now in the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
| The painter is Miss Janice Holland
and her exhibition consists Of 25 water
colors. displayed in the cases set aside
for the display of prints and unframed
paintings in the atrium of the gallery.
Miss Holland is student of the Cor
coran School-a prize winner-and
also a pupil of Eliot O'Hara. Her
paintings, made chiefly during the
past Summer in New England, are
simple in composition, good in color
and directly rendered. They are very
effective. One or two are of figures,
nicely felt out and delineated, but the
ma ajority are outdoor subjects, such as
"Wet Street, Marblehead" Mist
Over Mount Cadillac" Twisted
Pine" etc. These paintings will be
on view until October 20, after which.
for a week or 10 days, collection of
water colors by Whitla Stinson of this
city will be shown.
THE first of the seasons series of
print exhibitions to be set forth
under the auspices of the Division Of
Graphic Arts, National Museum, in
the Smithsonian Building, opens to-
morrow and will consist of SO etch-
ings by Ralph Fletcher Seymour of
Chicago, who is not only distin-
gushed etcher, but designer Of type

about Yucatan, illustrated by his own
wood cuts and printed in his own type.
He is represented in the leading print
collections by his etchings and in the
| Newberry Library, Chicago; by his
! water color drawings of the Maya ar
chitectural ruins at Chichen Itza and
