IN THE GALLERIES
Among the many attractive exhibitions of
the one-man variety, none has given more

pleasure to visitors than that of Alary Helen
Carlisle, at Knoedler’s Galleries. Where angels
would fear to tread Miss Carlisle walks boldly in,

sure of her right-of-way, whether at Windsor Cas-
tle or in the beautiful parks and pleasaunces of
England’s aristocracy. There, in oils and pastels,
she has painted in bold decorative manner, with
charming effect of color, a series of terraces and
walks, alleys of yew and lime, brilliantly-hued
flower beds, moated castles, rocks and water,
hedges of lavender and clematis, “arboretts with
painted blossoms drest.”
Messrs. Moulton & Ricketts have been showing
the most recent work of that talented artist, Mr.

Leslie W. Lee. He and his work just got out of
Mexico City in the nick of time, and several Mexi¬

can subjects, peons, rebels, half-breeds, in their
picturesque costumes testify to the artist’s ability
in depicting types and the good use he makes of
such accessories as zarapas and sombreros, of
which he owns a perfect museum. We hope later
to reproduce some of these interesting sitters.
Lovers of seventeenth-century Dutch art have
found good cheer at the Fischer Galleries, where
for a long time were exhibited choice authenti-
cated examples of such great masters as Peter
Codde, Paulus Moreelse, de Momper, Gerard Dou,
Ter Borch, Solomon Ruysdael, Van Goyen and
Van Ostade.
In the Reinhardt Galleries visitors have had
opportunity to view the most recent work of
Wilhelm Funk, who by his direct and forcible
painting, clean color and good composition has
worked himself to the forefront of American por-
trait painters. His portraits of the Kesslers, Mr.
Peter Hansen and Mrs. Paul Reinhardt are espe-
cially pleasing, while little Dorothea McKinnon
makes a beautiful Scotch lassie.
Nowhere are better exhibitions held than in the
galleries of Messrs. R. C. and N. M. Vose, in
Boston. During March were shown the latest
canvases of Alary L. Alacomber, of which we have
reproduced three of the most striking. Her color
schemes, great individuality, and, above all, her
rich allegorical feeling, have won her hosts of
