" LE CHEVREUIL" BY G. COURBET
M. King had some characteristically delicate and
charming work, that suffered somewhat from a
mixed environment; and the pen-and-ink drawing
of Kelvin Grove Art Gallery and St. Vincent Church
from Bothwell Street, by Tom Maxwell, were both
admirable. The sculpture shown was all the
work of one member, John Keller, and included
three large decorative figures modelled for one
of the palatial banks of the City. The exhibition
altogether was interesting, but chiefly so in the
promise it gave of better things from a young
society with a high purpose.
The exhibition of work by the Lady Artists,
recently held at the club in Blythswood Square,
was this year particularly attractive. The fresh
interest in applique and embroidery work is
largely due to the efforts of artists like Ann
Macbeth, who bring to the work an individuality
and charm that is irresistible. Miss Macbeth
contributed a skilful piece of embroidery in
bright, harmonious colours, called Una and
the Red Knight. Two characteristic drawings
were contributed by Jessie M. King; a draught
screen by Marion H. Wilson, the foundation
being canvas, embellished with cleverly-wrought
metal panels ; embroidery by Margaret Wilson ;
I gesso-work by Dorothy and Olive Carleton
Smyth. Some clever enamel-work was shown
' 354
by C. Lewthwaite Dewar, and in trinket form by
Mrs. Rawlins and Elma Story; delicate minia-
ture pcrtraits by Charlotte G. MacLaren and E.
Rose Parker; and dainty examples of glass and
china painting by Helen and Hannah Walton.

PARIS.—This year the Autumn Salon
devoted one little room to Couibet,
forming a fitting pendant to the Manet
display of 1904. An exhibition such
as this enabled one the better to realise the
leading part played by Courbet in the evolution
of the art of the last century. Here we dis-
covered anew the painter's masterly qualities.
His remarkable knowledge of the human form
was revealed, inter alia, in a study of a nude
woman, lamp in hand, which is a study for the
picture seen last year at Georges Petit's Gallery,
representing two riude women. In his fanciful
Buveuse, "after" Hals, the painter has, for sheer
amusement's sake, indulged in a bit of bravura
painting. The rustic Courbet, the scrupulous
and attentive observer, is to be seen in several
little-known landscapes. Even in the reproduc-
tion which accompanies these notes one cannot
fail to appreciate the vigorous morceau representing
houses (probably Swiss) standing out against a
highly-coloured sky, with great clumps of trees
in the foreground — great clumps of lovely
