the public recently had
the opportunity of seeing
JmLi . a .. £S|^H to the best advantage the

gifted artists, M. Jules

„- vxr?^HB[j M. Crosnier is vice-presi-

dent of the "Classe des
Beaux Arts" in Geneva,
and one of the most dis-

recent show were a series
of works by M. E. Vallet,
and a few by MM. Sil-
vestre, Duvoisin, Fores-
tier, and Castres. M.
Vallet has drawn his in-
spiration from the simple,
often pathetic and always
picturesque life of the
Valais, and his Ultima
Qutes and Ci?netiere
Valaisan are the beauti-
ful outcome of the quiet,
solid maturing of a highly
interesting temperament.

The Soci^te des Arts
has for some months past
opened another gallery at
the Athenee for the pur-
pose of giving artists the

chance of exhibiting their "la chataigneraie d'yvoire" by a. silvestre
