In Pines by the River, a water-colour by Mr.
Charles W. Hudson, the trees are objects of
sentimental interest, suggestive ot a romance of
the forest. Very much in the same spirit was the
pastel Night, Bruges Canal, by Mr. Charles Warren
Eaton, mysteriously subtle in effect and delicate
in tone. Mr. Walter L. Palmer’s water-colour of
A Sunlit Stream showed the hand of a finished
craftsman. Miss Alice Schille sent a group of
water-colours, marines and street scenes, sketchy
but convincing; Miss Felicie Waldo Howell a
group of street views in opaque colour, very
realistic in effect. Beautiful sky-painting appeared
in a group of Italian landscapes in water colour
by Mr. Colin Campbell Cooper. Good figure-
subjects were by Miss Hilda Belcher in The
Very Blonde Baby, by Miss Helena Day in The
Mermaids, and Mr. Howard Giles in Summer.

this class were exhibited by the President Mrs. Emily

man was very delicately tinted, by Miss Margaret
Foote Hawley, who contributed a portrait of Mary
Foote, good in translation of childish personality,

Miss Bassett, by Miss Mabel R. Welch, a portrait
of a little girl Jane, by Mrs. Stella Lewis Marks,
A Portrait Study. Miss Margaretta Archambault
sent some good portraits, among others those of
