Another part of the world which offers opportunities for the Canadian trade is the West Indies.

Miss Loring also shows some small pieces of orna mental craftsmanship that are felici- tous in conception and execution. Miss Wyle, in addition to some inter esting portraits, both in busts and in low relief, exaibits a work, "The Sacrifice," obviously inspired by the war, which shows a kneeling woman discovering the nude body of a dead youth. Poetry and barmony of line mark the work, and modeling of the recimbent hero is exceptionally fine Ot her portrait busts those of her colleague, Miss Loring, and another simply entitled "Mary," are full of charm and vitality. clever in the bandling of such objects as frogs and grasshoppers for decora- tive objects.
