London.—Mr. t. c. Gotch’s
triptych Stephen a?id two atten-
dant Figures, here reproduced,
is an adaptation to a decorative
scheme of a child’s portrait, exhibited by
the artist in the Royal Academy last year.
The attendant figures have received a
treatment which makes them fittingly
combine with the reality of the portrait.
The difficulties of such a combination are
not to be disputed, and the always sym-
pathetic nature of Mr. Gotch’s art triumphs
here. The frame of the triptych, by the
Guild of Handicraft, is a very successful
piece of decoration.
The water-colour by Mr. T. L. Shoo-
smith, reproduced on page 56, is one which
was shown a little while back at Mr. Baillie’s
gallery. The pleasant simplicity of the artist’s style
commends itself to us not less in this class of
subject than in his landscape.
On page 5 7 we reproduce a drawing (exhibited in
the recent Royal Academy Exhibition) by Mr.
John T. Lee, F.R.I.B.A., of his design for the
interior of St. Margaret’s Church, Eastney. The
portion shown consists of three bays with an ambula-

the east end behind the altar. The chancel
is lighted by two lancet windows in each of the
six bays north and south. On the north are the
vestries, with the organ projecting into the chancel
overhead, and a chapel. The reredos, 29 feet high
by 13 feet 6 inches wide, is recessed for an altar
9 feet long, curved at the back over the retable,
