MEMORY. PHOTO-ETCHING FROM AN ORIGINAL PAINTING MAUD HUMPHREY. This is one of the best of the paintings for which Maud Humphrey is noted, and is characteristicof her general style. The soft, gentle tints, which lend ease and grace to a painting, are nowherelacking in her productions. How well it fits the following lines from Tennysons Ode to Memory : Whilome thou earnest with the morning mist, And with the evening cloud,Showering thy gleaned wealth into my open breast(Those peerless flowers which in the rudest wind Never grow sere,When rooted in the garden of the mind,Because they are the earliest of the year). Nor was the night thy shroud.In sweet dreams softer than unbroken restThou leddest by the hand thine infant Hope.
