It is called "A Millâ€"Race," and shows the cold blueâ€"green waters of the race coursing down between the banks of ice and snow. It is of late afternoon, for the shadows cast by the few slender trees are k}t'c and coldâ€"looking. There is scarcely anyâ€" thing rgore fascinating than the inâ€" tricate ‘laceâ€"like shadows of n | tree outlined in blue upon the snow, + "A Crisp Winter Morning," by George Harding of Philadelphia, is a powerfully painted canvas with a lot of "go" to it.

It is called "Winter. Light," and is by Charles, Morris Young of Radnor, Pennsylvania. / It is remarkable for its poetic presentation of the comâ€" monplace, and for the quality of faint, winter sunlight with which he has magically endowed the scene. A guage of the most picturesque seaâ€" son of the year. And there is an ideal trout stream sending its blue â€"waters down through the valley. T Smaller Canvass _ But we can look around and see if there ‘are smaller canvasses which will give ‘us the thrill of the autumn season and not be such a drain on the family purse. Just across the room, on the south wall hangs a painting about the right size. It is called *The Golden Bough," and was paintâ€" ed by Will Howe Foote, of Old Lyme, | Connecticut. The bough, with its leaves of: gold : and scarlet, hangs | down from the top of the picture and forms a pattern or design through which the eyes roam across the still pond to the bridge on the opposite shore. â€"A light green rowboat in the left foreground in which is seated a girl in a light blue dress affords an interesting color note, . And in this same gallery we find another autumn is is essentially a home picture, for it has all of the colors and the peace and restful beauty of a splendâ€" ‘id, autumn day.

Speliman, also of Oak Park, is | another autumn: scere, ~painted pogsibly down in the Ozarks or‘ in the : Cumberlands . of Kentucky or Tennessee. It has a fresh and atâ€" tractive quality, and the moonshinâ€" er‘s home, perched on a high bank, has such an alluring scenic outlook that one is inclined at least to envy hiw in his choice of a home. site, if ‘not his occupation.â€" And one of the most brilliant of the autumn| scenes is No. 89, in gallery G57,. It is by Frederick M. Grant of Chicago and is bne of the most interesting decorâ€" ative . paintings ‘this talented artist has done. It is entitled "The Blue Wagon," and derives its name from the covered wagon partially concealâ€" ed by the rich goldenâ€"red foliage in the (Jeft foreground. The glklnz: red and brown tree forms in the midâ€" dle of the picture seem to divide the painting |into two parts, but the clond lortmtion in the blue sky holds the two parts together and gives itl‘ unity. . â€" j £ 1 Look at the big canvas by wtcalf, in gallery G60.
