nown through her "Evening Landscape," "Spring," "Eve," and a picture of roses. <b>HEUSTIS, LOUISE LYONS.</b> Member of Art Workers' Club for Women and the Art Students' League. Born in Mobile, Alabama. Pupil of Art Students' League, New York, under Kenyon Cox and W. M. Chase; at Julian Academy, Paris, under Charles Lasar. [Illustration: From a Copley Print. THE DEPARTURE OF SUMMER LOUISE L. HEUSTIS] A portrait painter. At a recent exhibition of the Society of American Artists, Miss Heustis's genre portrait called "The Recitation" was most attractive and well painted. She has painted portraits of Mr. Henry F. Dimock; Mr. Edward L. Tinker, in riding clothes, of which a critic says, "It is painted with distinction and charm"; the portrait of a little boy in a Russian blouse is especially attractive; and a portrait of Miss Soley in riding costume is well done. These are but a small number of the portraits by this artist. She is clever in posing her sitters, manages the effect of light with skill and judgement, and renders the various kinds of textures to excellent advantage. As an illustrator Miss Heustis has been employed by _St. Nicholas, Scribner's_, and _Harper's Magazine_. <b>HILL, AMELIA R.</b> A native of Dunfermline, she lived many years in Edinburgh. A sister of Sir Noel and Walter H. Paton, she married D. O. Hill, of the Royal Scottish Academy. Mrs. Hill made busts of Thomas Carlyle, Sir David Brewster, Sir Noel Paton, Richard Irven, of New York, and others. She also executed many ideal figures. She was the sculptor of the memorial to the Regent Murray at Linlithgow, of the statue of Captain Cook, and that of Dr. Livingstone; the latter was unveiled in Prince's Gardens, Edinburgh, in 1876, and is said to be the first work of this kind executed by a woman and erected in a public square in Great Britain. "Mrs. Hill has mastered great difficulties in becoming a sculptor in established practice."--_Mrs. Tytler's "Modern Painters."_ "Mrs. Hill's Captain Cook--R. Scottish Academy, 1874--is an interesting figure and a perfectly faithful likeness, according to extant portraits of the great circumnavigator."--_Art Journal_, April, 1874. <b>HILLS, LAURA COOMBS.</b> Medal at Art Interchange, 1895; bronze medal, Paris Exposition, 1900; silver medal, Pan-American Exposition, 1901; second prize, Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, D. C, 1901. Member of Society of American Artists, Women's Art Club
