The art lover who remains in London need not be
deprived of his pleasures by the end of the season. There are the National Gallery, with several recent acquisitions ; the Wallace Collection, with its newly-reopened rooms ; Dulwich, the most delightful of all the galleries ; the Sheepshanks Collection at South Ken- sington ; the Soane Museum, with its Hogarths ; and the London Museum and its fascinating oils, water-colours and prints of London. For a change from pictures we can recommend Spink and Son's Galleries in King Street, St. James's. A mag- nificent collection of carved jade is on show there: white jade, with its delicately-coloured shadows; olive fade and emerald jade. There are also some exquisite small pieces of carved dark amber, old Chinese cloisonné enamel and red lacquer, and a multitude of objets d'art which can be fingered and examined as they cannot be at the museums.
