gent were her methods that she doubtless had great influence in making the memory of his art enduring. Among her most characteristic works are: "The Memories of the Oise," 1864; "Ros-Bras," "Finistere," 1868; "A Young Girl at a Window," 1870; a pastel, "Blanche," 1873; "The Toilet," and "A Young Woman at the Ball." *<b>NEY, ELIZABETH.</b> The Fine Arts jury of the St. Louis Exposition have accepted three works by this sculptor to be placed in the Fine Arts Building. They are the Albert Sidney Johnston memorial; the portrait bust of Jacob Grimm, in marble; and a bronze statuette of Garibaldi. It is unusual to allow so many entries to one artist. <b>PAULI, HANNA</b>, family name, Hirsch. Bronze medal at Paris Exposition, 1889. Born in Stockholm and pupil of the Academy of Fine Arts there; later, of Dagnan-Bouveret, in Paris. Her husband, also an artist, is Georg Pauli. They live in Stockholm, where she paints portraits and genre subjects. At the Paris Exposition, 1900, she exhibited two excellent portraits, one of her father and another of Ellen Key; also a charming genre subject, "The Old Couple." <b>ROMANI, JUANA, H. C.</b> Born at Velletri, 1869. Pupil of Henner and Roybet, in Paris, where she lives. This artist is, _sui generis_, a daughter of the people, of unconventional tastes and habits. She has boldly reproduced upon canvas a fulness of life and joy, such as is rarely seen in pictures. While she has caught something of the dash of Henner, and something of the color of Roybet, and gained a firm mastery of the best French technique, these are infused with the ardor of a Southern temperament. Her favorite subjects are women--either in the strength and beauty of maternity, or in the freshness of youth, or even of childhood. Some critics feel that, despite much that is desirable in her work, the soul is lacking in the women she paints. This is no doubt due in some measure to certain types she has chosen--for example, Salome and Herodias, in whom one scarcely looks for such an element. Her portrait of Roybet and a picture of "Bianca Capello" were exhibited at Munich in 1893 and at Antwerp in 1894. The "Pensierosa" and a little girl were at the Paris Salon in 1894, and were much admired. "Herodias" appeared at Vienna in 1894 and at Berlin the following year, while "Primavera" was first seen at the Salon of 1895. This picture laughs, as children laugh, with perfect abandon.
