A NEW artist has sprung up in a field we have grown to look upon as almost the special province

of Miss Irene Jerome, namely Mrs. Margaret MacDonald Pullman. Her first work, Days

Serene," is brought out this year as the leading holiday work of Messrs. Lee & Shepard.

The book is a royal oblong quarto, and is composed on the same lines as "One Year's SketchBook" and its successors. Still, though in a measure an imitation, it displays so much artistic merit that Miss Jerome will have to look to her laurels. Twenty-six pages of text and designs show the varied talent of the artist. Beautiful landscape scenery, sea views and mountain views, blooming meadows and playful streams; the forest at early morn and in the shadow of the setting sun; with the many flowers of the fields-daisies, wild honeysuckles, and daffydowndillies-adorn the succeeding pages and testify to the artist's warm sympathy with nature.

Mrs. Pullman was born in Indiana, and received her art education in New York City. For the last few years she has lived in Chicago, although during the late few months of the past year she has resided in Peoria, Illinois. Mrs. Pullman found no difficulty in taking a position among the leading artists of Chicago, and was considered by many the best landscape artist in the city. Her exhibits in oil at the art expositions and exhibitions in the East and in the West have always received much praise. The entire bent of her mind has been in the direction of art, and in this she has greatly excelled. When she was but six years old she had decided in her own mind to be an artist, and from early life she has been in close communion with nature, of which she is a fond lover.

The designs on this page and the opposite page give some idea of Mrs. Pullman's style. The full-page is an illustration of Tennyson's lines:
