By Charles 8. Kinnison. 1 don't belong to any club, And 1 suppose I'm just a dub To lots of folks who pass mie by \ With haughty looks and nods.

A portrait, by Miss Helen David- son, of Belleville, is given place of honor on cover of noted French Art Review. Canadians who have just received the Paris review of arts and letters, "La Peinture," are delighting in the proud place it has accorded a Cana- dian woman artist, Miss' Helen Davidson. After its review of the autumn Salon come three pages de- voted to Helen Davidson, the Cans- dian artist, whose recent Paris exhi- bitley has been such a sensation. Not only does the review's cover con- tain 4 Jopraduction of ons of Mise} Davidson's pictures, but eight more are reproduced Inside. ) In his lengthy article on Miss Davidson, who was born in Belle- ville, Plerre Darius praises her achievements. Her latest exhibition is chiefly of her sketches from Carth- age and the land of the Pharaohs. Darius declares she belongs to no school and praises her genius for color and careful workmanship. After viewing Miss Davideon's can- vases from Africa, Plerre Darius ex- claims: "Her canvases are extremely vigorous. They are the work of a solid artist, a past master of all the difficulties .of her craft. She tri- unmphs equally in ofl and in paste. In the latter tender medium, used with the skill of a master, she has discovered how to fix on canvas the dazsling landscapes of the Orient without robbing them of their im- | m , & difficult thing In a me. dium which has a tendency to refine rather than strengthen impressions, 'The' Ontario Municipal Associa- ' "Phone 191.
