AS BOHEMIANS SEE IT.

PICTURES QUIET AND SERIOUS

“London as Bohemians see Her” could be the title of the show of the London Sketch Club, at the Arlington Gallery, says a London paper. Bright ideas, as well as practical jokes, flourish among the group. Original pictures by well-known exhibitors are on the shouuders of sandwichmen outside.

The pictures are quiet and serious. They render soberly some of the aspects of London, and portray some familiar Londoners.

The dome of St. Paul’s forms a kind of axis round which townscapes and people gravitate.

There are gardens by Bertram Prance, old lands and markets by Leonard Richmond and C. W. Farley, patterns made by omnibuses in Harry Riley’s “'Pedestrian Crossing,” and by^

shipping in Nevinson’s “Swim End Barges.”

You get l!ie monumental mass of recent edifices in “Adelphi Terrace," by Jolm Hassal, colourful scenes like “The 'Changing of the Guard,” by Greville Irwin, and amusing characters like the aristocratic old gentleman taking a Poke for an evening walk in "The Constitutional, Bayswatcr," by Gilbert Wilkinson.

You do not get all London, but you get a succinct summary of it.
