ILLUSTRATION FOR A

PLAY BY NINA H. BALFOUR
books, but this will be the first occasion on
which her more decorative drawings, such
as the two we reproduce, have been
exhibited. These drawings are distin-
guished by a charming display of colour
to which the best of reproductions fails
to do complete justice. 000
Miss Nina Balfour's illustration for a
" Vegetable and Flower Play," reproduced
on this page, is one of many of a similar
kind executed by her in water-colours from
which useful hints for festive occasions
may be derived. 0000
At the Leicester Galleries last month the
chief feature was a collection of work by
the most distinguished of the older school
of Russian artists, Ilya Repin, whose death
has more than once been reported in the
newspapers, but who is now happily alive
and enjoying well-earned repose after a
long and fruitful career. Several of the
paintings exhibited have been done since
the fall of the Tsarist regime, and are
remarkable evidence of the vitality of the
artist, who is now close upon eighty. 0
Mr. F. H. Whittington, of Brocken-
hurst, in the New Forest, the maker of the
group of toys we illustrate on page 346, is
an artist who has turned his professional
training to good account in preparing the
designs for and executing these miniature
models of animals. They are all made to
scale from drawings after living or stuffed
specimens at the Zoo and the Natural
History Museum, and all are hand-carved
and coloured accurately. His stock also
includes numerous tame animals—dogs,
horses, New Forest ponies, as well as
huntsmen, farmers and other humans and
a collapsible doll's house—and, what is
"JOUET BELGE." REPLICA
