Miss Ltulso II. King Is nlso n native of
San Francisco, although her homo since
her childhood has lieen In New York. At
tho Art Students' leaguo, which has sent
out so many of our younger artists, Miss
King was 11 favorito pupil of ICeuyon Cox.
Much of his strong draughtsmanship nnd

work. After leaving tho league Mls King
devoted Homo tlmo to study In tho Merlin
Gallery and In tho Loudon National, whom
sho seems to hnvo nbsot bed considerable
of the l'rernphneltte, Hume-Jones spirit.
Miss King's specialty is high nrt decora
tion, stained glass and cartoons. Sho hits
recently finished two windows for Tiffany,
nnd aspires to cntlieilrnl wall decoration.
This is n branch of art comparatively llttlo
crowded, nnd to which Miss King's genius
a ems admirably adapted. Sho delights In
ipsthctio pinks, yellows and heliotropes,
nnd her combinations of greens and blue
nrt often rather daring nnd original.
"Tho I)tus Eaters" was exhibited nt tho
Exposition Universe, Paris, Ibfln, and was
much admired for Its dreamy beauty nnd

In tho fnco of tho large subjects most
congenial to her, Miss King's girlish fnco
nnd figuro aro particularly noticeable. It
is said that her nrrival nt a fnshtonnhlo
school in Toledo, where sho had been en
gaged to teach, was the occasion of a most
amusing sensation. "By their works shall
ye Know them," however, rarely applies to
artists.

Miss Slado paints children and llowcrs,
h very agreeable combination. There Is
much of Dcckwith's brilliance and a great
deal of her own hieadth of handling In her
work. Hcrficsh tints especial!) 1 ro fine,
her drawing unusually good, ami her sub
