an attendant’s room, a cellar, &c., while on the
hall floor are arranged the kitchen (Kiiche),
dining-room, drawing-room (Salon), children’s room
(Kinderzimmer), a bedroom, bathroom and lava-
tory, the dining-room, which is over 23 ft. long,
being the largest. The figure of a boy with a dog,
of which a separate illustration is given, serves as a
lamp-holder, the model for this figure being the
architect’s son, who in years to come will see a
portrait of himself as he was at the time the house
was built. It will be observed, too, that at the top
of the pillars of the front railing are figures of
geese carved in stone, here employed as symbols of
watchfulness.

STUDIO-TALK

(From Our Own Correspondents.)

LONDON.—The Modern Society of Portrait
Painters’ Sixth Exhibition was notable for
the curious and piquant contrast of quite
_> inspiriting works in close juxtaposition to
very dull and commonplace efforts. Greater rigour
on the part of the hanging committee in refusing
works below a certain standard would have been
fairer treatment to those whose works deserve to be
identified with an exhibition ranking as a first-class
one. Among the most interesting works in this
recent display were Mr. John da Costa’s Major O.
da Costa, Mr. Glyn W. Philpot’s Randall Davies,

Esq., Sculptor’s Modet, and Lady Mary Morrison,
Mr. Waldo Murray’s David Copperfield, Mr. Alfred
Hayward’s Mrs. Sydney Pitt, Mr. W. B. E. Rankin’s
A Lady in Blue, Mr. Louis Ginnett’s Mrs. L. T.
Ginnett, Mr. Alex-
ander Jamieson’s
The Honble. Sir
Charles Parsons,

K.C.B., Mr. G. W.

Lambert’s john
Procter, Esq., and
Dorothea in Fancy
Dress, Mr. Gerald
Festus Kelly’s The
Tester, Muriel Beit,
and Ma-Thein-kin,
and Mr. Giuseppe
Giusti’s Col. Giusti
and Columbia.

These works pro-
vided the most
vital part of the
exhibition. In
another part of the
gallery Mr. F. C.

B. Cadell’s Girl i?i

Fur Coat and GirPs Head were arresting achieve-
ments. Mr. Oswald Birley, Mr. C. Colyn Thomson,
