Ohio State University. But as she is now
once more in the French country, we may
look for a fresh array of water colors in the
fall.
If Miss Schille has doubtless found it a little
disappointing to receive her first serious recog-
nition not from her own countrymen but from
the French, at least her position is not unlike
that of many another person of signal abili-
ties. For we of America have not, as yet, the
“nose” for genius. Some day we must ac-

ARROLL ART GALLERIES

Quite a number of removals have

been effected of late by different New York

galleries, such as the Blakeslee Gallery,

new, as it is also in several
of the other out-of-door
compositions; but through¬
out the group the hand of
an original and vigorous
painter is easily distin¬
guishable.
During the past year
Miss Schille has applied
herself chiefly to portrait¬
ure, producing, notably,
several very sympatheti¬
cally interpretative oil
