ST. GEORGE'S GALLERY, HANOVER SQUARE.

At St. George's Gallery, four young Chelsea artists, Mr. Blair Hughes-Stanton, Mr. William M'Cance, Miss Gertrude Hermes, and Miss Agnes Millar-Parker are exhibiting. Mr. Blair Hughes-Stanton does not follow by any means in his father's footsteps ; he seems to have an idea that it is necessary to reduce everything, including the human figure; to a rhythmic design. Miss Millar-Parker's Ferndale Fair (No. 7) is carefully constructed, and Mr. M'Cance's John (No. 24) is outstandingly good. ' Miss Hermes's sculpture keeps a high level, and when one sees how in the Sea Gull polished mahogany grows eloquent under her hands, one wonders why more artists do not make use of polished woods.
