Hitherto, though England has produced some of the greatest humorists in art that the world has ever soon--from Hogarth downwards very little disposition has been shown on the part of the British public generally to regard theso specialista in other than a patronisingly tolerant sort of way; But with the gradual wearing away of Puritanism, and of general stiffness and primness in Great Britain, the comic. artist is fast coming to his own; and the fact that the r

new Society's first exhibition has been so largely attended (not merely by tired people who wanted something at which to grin and guffaw, but by persons who are able to take art seriously) is but one of the many indications
