I Landscapes and still luc form tl.o sub-
Law of the show, the places of honor
L Ike wads being given to two largo
L s bv E. lluckmnstcr. These arc
iJlcd with a slippery freedom which
L not bevond suspicion of pnmtmoss,
Lo?li the' general effect is agreeable mid
Earful The better of the two is A I'obl
L |fic Bass. In A Hot Spring Day Jliss
Ldon gives a g"«l conception of tho
ioJor and atniosjilierie qualities of hei
lubject and Louis McCubbin, in his Sum-
Lr Evening, shows nil incompletely
Cimilalcd modernist loaning. Among the

Egnias.br V. K. Thompson, nnd another
ihihitor who is making Imr influence tell
t Violet M. JIclui.es. Her Wild flowers,

Exer piece calling for mention is the
Etelv painted llvdratigcan and Blue Glim,

Th tendency immmr tho younger land-
