in the towns and villages. Among the best of
these studies are the Iris Garden, Gathering
Chrysanthemums^ Iris Horikiri, the Meeting of the
Photographic Society at Kyoto, and the dainty
little Sweet Shop. Her power of drawing and
sense of composition are very well shown in a
group of figures Fishing under the Cherry Tree,
and in A Temple Gate at Nikko ; and in several
others of her seventy-six contributions she has
arrived at results that are eminently pleasant.

At the Dutch Gallery Mr. Van Wisselingh
brought together about the middle of last month a
pleasant little collection of pictures and drawings
by various painters who have established their
reputations as leaders of the Romantic and Im-
pressionist schools. Among the artists represented
appeared Diaz, Daubigney, and Corot at their
best; and adequate examples of such men as
Manet, M. Carolus-Duran and Mr. Whistler were
also included. Of the younger Englishmen who
are to be ranked as followers of the romantic
school the most notable were Mr. Mark Fisher,
Mr. Arthur Lemon, Mr. Peppercorn, and Mr,
Arthur Tomson, all students of landscape whose
powers of expression are admirably trained and
excellently under control.

At the exhibition in connection with the annual
meeting of the Ex Libris Society, it was interesting
to note a distinct advance in the number and
quality of modern designs. As before, good
heraldic plates were few ; that is, those which are
decorative and well designed in addition to being
correctly blazoned. C. W. Sherborn, with a large
number of new and beautiful designs, sustained his
high level, G. W. Eve showed even better work
than heretofore, and the solitary plate (in Swan
line-etching) by W. R. Weyer was notably good.
Arthur Ellis, in a book-plate for an angler and a
circular design, proved to be a welcome recruit.
Harold Nelson had another Ernest Scott Fardell
plate, and very good it was. One by Ernest
Collings, with the motto Sit sine labe decus,wa.s also
distinctly excellent. Walter West showed an album
of his charming designs, the Charles Bickersteth
Wheeler, the Benjamin and Janet Haughton, and
E. G. Bett, being seen for the first time. Two of
these, reproduced here, show most graceful fancy
and fitness. W. Monk, amid other admirably
etched plates, had one for the Shakespearean
Memorial library which was extremely good. A
very interesting heraldic plate etched and designed
by Sir John Millais, P.R.A., although executed
thirty years ago, came as a surprise to most visi-
tors. G. R. Quested exhibited plates for Sir Philip
