laborate fashion of the period. Later she was occupied principally in illustrations for the Century Company and Houghton, Mifflin & Co. Mrs. Foote writes that Miss Regina Armstrong--now Mrs. Niehaus--in a series of articles on "Women Illustrators of America," whom she divided into classes, placed her with the "Story-Tellers." <b>FORBES, MRS. STANHOPE.</b> Mr. Norman Gastin, in an article upon the work of the Royal Academician, Stanhope Forbes, in the _Studio_, July, 1901, pays the following tribute to the wife of the artist, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Armstrong: "Mrs. Stanhope Forbes's work does not ask you for any of that chivalrous gentleness which is in itself so derogatory to the powers of women. As an artist she stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best; she has taste and fancy, without which she could not be an artist. But what strikes one about her most is summed up in the word 'ability.' She is essentially able. The work which that wonderful left hand of hers finds to do, it does with a certainty that makes most other work look tentative beside hers. The gestures and poses she chooses in her models show how little she fears drawing, while the gistness of her criticism has a most solvent effect in dissolving the doubts that hover round the making of pictures." [_No reply to circular_.] <b>FORTI, ENRICA.</b> Rome. [_No reply to circular_.] <b>FORTIN DE COOL, DELFINA.</b> Third-class medal, Madrid, 1864, for the following works reproduced on porcelain: the "Conception" of Murillo, the "Magdalen" of Antolinez, and the portrait of Alonso Cano by Velazquez; also a portrait on ivory of a young girl. This artist, who was French by birth, was a pupil of her father. For paintings executed in the imperial works at Sevres, she was awarded prizes at Blois, Besancon, Rouen, Perigueux, and Paris. <b>FOULQUES, ELISA.</b> Born in Pjatigorsk, in the Caucasus. She came under Italian influence when but four years old, and was taken to Naples. At the Institute of the Fine Arts she was a pupil of Antoriello, Mancinelli, Perrisi, and Solari. She received a diploma when leaving the Institute. Her picture, "Mendica," was exhibited in Naples, 1886; "Un ultimo Squardo" and "Sogno," 1888. In London, in 1888, "Tipo Napoletano," "Studio dal vero," and "Ricordi" were exhibited. Since 1884 this artist has taught drawing in the Municipal School for Girls in Naples, and has executed many portraits in oil
