Studio- Talk
in the cave midst primroses and russet leaves—this
is very beautiful both in colour and in most admir-
able technique. Of Mr. Stanhope Forbes' work it
is hardly needful to enlarge. He has a church gate
with steps, and a wall splashed with silver lichens;
beyond the wall there is a screen of trees and the
church. He has also a picture showing a cottage
door in the evening; a village postman with his
cabinet in steel and leather by miss e. cowell
cabinet in steel and gesso by miss gere
leather by Miss E. Cowell, and the other in steel
and gesso by Miss E. Gere. The other illustrations
are a Christmas card from a colour design by R. J.
Williams, a design for a poster in black and red by
Miss H. Faulkner, and a design for stained-glass
by Miss Evelyn Holden. CM. G.

procession of boys clad in antique

pointing to the pebbles he has had the foresight to
drop. Mrs. Stanhope Forbes has painted this with
her invariable certainty ; between the thought and
