or called "La Barque fleurie," which was much admired and was reproduced in "L'Illustration." Her water-color of "Clematis and Virginia Creeper" is in the Museum at Tunis. In the summer exhibition of 1903, at Evreux, this artist's "Peonies" and "Iris" were delightfully painted--full of freshness and brilliancy, such as would be the despair of a less skilful hand. At the Limoges Exposition, May to November, 1903, Mme. Faux-Froidure was announced as hors concours in water-colors. La Societe Francais des Amis des Arts purchased from the Salon, 1903, two water-colors by Mme. Faux-Froidure--"Roses" and "Loose Flowers," or "Jonchee fleurie." Her pictures at the Exposition at Toulouse, spring of 1903, were much admired. In one she had most skilfully arranged "Peaches and Grapes." The color was truthful and delicate. The result was a most artistic picture, in which the art was concealed and nature alone was manifest. A second picture of "Zinnias" was equally admirable in the painting of the flowers, while that of the table on which they were placed was not quite true in its perspective. Of a triptych, called the "Life of Roses," exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais, 1903, Jules de Saint Hilaire writes: "Mme. Faux-Froidure was inspired when she painted her charming triptych of 'Rose Life.' In the compartment on the left the roses are twined in a crown resembling those worn in processions; in the centre, in all its dazzling beauty, the red rose, the rose of love, is enthroned; while the panel on the right is consecrated to the faded rose--the souvenir rose, shrivelled, and lying beside the little casket which it still perfumes with its old-time sweetness." <b>FISCHER, CLARA ELIZABETH.</b> Born in Berlin, 1856. Studied under Biermann six years, and later under Julius Jacob. Her pictures are portraits and genre subjects. Among the latter are "What Will Become of the Child?" 1886; "Orphaned," "In the Punishment Corner," and "Morning Devotion." <b>FISCHER, HELENE VON.</b> Born in Bremen, 1843. She first studied under a woman portrait painter in Berlin; later she was a pupil of Frische in Duesseldorf, of Robie in Brussels, and of Hertel and Skarbina in Berlin. She makes a specialty of flowers, fruit, and still-life; her fruit and flower pieces are beautiful, and her pictures of the victims of the chase are excellent. <b>FLESCH-BRUNNENGEN, LUMA VON.</b> Born in Bruenn in 1856. In Vienna she worked
