Mabe] | Fanots ARTIST. Mrs. Stanhope Forbes Woe a Native of Kingston, It 1s perbaps not gemerally known that Elizabeth Adela Ptanhope For- bes was a Canadian and was born at Kingston, Ont. After studying at the Art Students' League in New York under William M Armstrong, as she was then, went to England for further study and there | married Stanhope Forbes, R.A., and | settled down at Newlyn, the famous art colony In Corowall. It was many pletures of Cornish scenery and types woven into falry tales or | local legends which increased stead- fly in power until she became reco nized as one of the most artists of the day. It was at Newlyn, too, that she opened, with Mr. For bes, the famous art school bears their name, and which € grounding in the essentials of their craft and an outlook wpon nature and life all the more joyous and free by reason of the beauty of their sur- roundings in this garden of the west Academy drawbridges are up to the approach of women painters, even in these stirring days, and for some mysterious reason and with somé unconscious humor the male mind seems to demand | a higher qualification from the opposite sex than from his own for admittance to his order---otherwise it is difficult to account for the exclusion of such painters as Annie Swynnherton and Laura Knight, rot to mention others. It was #0 with Mrs. Forbes, and while for many years her pictures were warmly welcomed to their ex hibitions her claims to membership went unrecognized by the Royal {| Academy The Royal Water Color Soclety was not so exclusive and honored her work with a merited as sociateship Mrs. Forbes zlso won honor at the Paris Exhibition in the | year of her marriage and later be- came a member of the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists formed to bring together the art of the islands with the overseas dominions, Up to the time Mrs Forbes pass. |ed away, in the maturity of her | powers, the National Gallery of | Canada possessed only one example of her art, a water color entitled "A May Evening," in which a group of | village children are picking flowers | on the hill above Mounts Bay. The National Gallery naturally felt that | & better representation of the work | of one of the foremost artists Can- | ada had produced was imperative, | and the result was that an important | oil painting. "When Daffodils Be- gin to Peer," was purchased and in accordance with the generous desires of Mr. Forbes and his son to com- | memorate Mrs. Forbes' connection with Canada, the purchase price of the picture was paid over to the | Canadian Red Cross Society and the | Young Men's Christian Association | war work in France, | But this was not all. Mrs, Forbes | was an accomplished etcher and the | National Gallery desired to obtain | examples of "her work in medium, | and the desire was satisfied by Mr. Forbes in a most magnificent way by | the presentation of no less than twe additional water colors, three color studies for illustration, fifteeh etch- ings, and three charcoal drawings. | Mrs, Forbes' representation in the national collection of her mative country is now a wide and interest- ing one amd it is hoped that as soon as the National Gallery recovers its | Jost premises a memorial exhibition | of the artist's work will be held, with | the addition of such pictures as are in the possession of private owners.

Food con- ervation' begins with Shred- led Wheat Biscuit for break- ast and ends with Shredded Nheat Biscuit for supper. Delicious with sliced bananas, series, or gther fruits. Made in Canada. Mrs. Forbes' art was essentially nor- mal, sane and strove. « Dealing, as '0 much of it did, with her Cornish su - roundings, with their clear, brigh' color, it developed corresponding qualities of paint which aided by forceful draftsmanship, gave her imagination its visble message. The difference of the machine and feminine qualities in terms of art has been insisted upon with suspicious vehemence, indicative of a corre- sponding paucity of truth, There can be no essential differences in men's and women's art, and greater progress either man or wo- men seems to make in'any line of human endeavor, the more beautiful- ly less become any characteristics that are sexual. It was so with Mrs, Forbes' work, which has been dubbed masculine, probably because the un- conscious egotism of the male critic has seen in it qualities of color and draftsmanship unusual in a woman, and therefore savoring of some high- er afinity. May we not expect the day when any special quality of re- finement in the work of a man will be dubbed feminine by the woman critic? Be that as it may, Mrs. Forbes' work in painting aad in etching possessed a strength and vitality which, coupled with an equally characteristic grace and re- finement, placed it in where it meets that - f all comers on equal terms and is judged as a mas- terly achievement. Married an Heiress, The marriage of Miss Gertrude Langtry, adopted daughter of Fred- erick W. Vanderbilt, of New York, and Lance-Corporal Locquell, of the Canadian army, son of a professor in Oporto University, is announced In the London Daily Mirror. The bride said her parents had not yet heard of the wedding, which took place at Seaford, and which was extremely quiet, only a few witnesses being present. Tle bride gave the mame of Vanderbilt, which she said she was authorized to use. The girl said she became acquainted with Cor- poral Locquell while riding along the seashore. Becoming ill, she was obliged to dismount. Locquell hap- pened to come along, assisted her with the utmost kindness, and the acquaintanec ripemed inte mutual love, . | What Will It Do For Me? | not right treatment important hes 'and hs 104 Lansdowne street, ", Ont, writes : "I was troubled With nervousness, sleeplessness, frequent headas Indigestion the heart.
