It was the moat repre sentative assemblage of the art elements of the city seen this season.

Brooke, president of the society, has contributed Ave cantases which were painted last summer on the Massachu setts coast. The paintings show the Gloucester harbor, the Cape Ann shore, and other picturesque spots In this ter ritory. Miss Bertha E.

Is distinguished with three excellent landscapes, all In bis well- known style. His work shows clarity of style combined with genuine feeling for the broader aspects of nature. Three paintings of widely diversified style are contributed by Luclen W. PowelL The first Is a picture of the Grand Canyon of Arlxona, second of a marriage fete at Venice, and the third Is Athens seen across the plain. They demonstrate the catholicity of taste and perception pos sessed by the artist. The Ice president of the society, William P Sllva. has painted some de lightful Southern landscapes In a sym pathetic manner, and James Henry Moser. whose reputation as a water coloiist exceeds that as an oil painter. is represented by two charmlnr land scapes, which have won Immediate pop ularity. Max Weyl's delightful landscapes are again In eIdence, one of the Potomao marshes being particularly satisfactory. La Grand Johnston's work again wins faor. Mrs. Bush-Brown Is represented with portraits of the late Admiral Evans and his little granddaughter and of Helnrlch Hammer, the leader of the vashlngton Symphony Orchestra. "The Pink Lady." painted by Miss Catherine C Crttcher, la one of the gems of the exhibit.
