The Royal Society of British Artists at-
tempts no departure this spring from its old
traditions, but certainly has succeeded in
making its galleries more attractive to people
who want to see some signs of progress in art.
This result has been secured not by any great
raising of the general standard of the pictures
hung, but by the presence in the exhibition
of certain canvases of real importance. Quite
the best of these is Mr. F. Cayley Robinson's
■quaintly imagined and characteristically
treated composition, The Close of Day, a
minutely realised study of facts marked by
fineness of style and serious technical pur-
pose. It has true individuality of a curious
kind, and its sincerity is beyond question. A
