It is a real- istic ealistic painting of the advance of the Canadians at Ypres, and in studying some of the faces of the urea who are pressing • on with fixed bayonets one can almost imagine that they bear a 'familiar look. -It is by Ben Taplin and is the' property of the Nelsons Bank, who are sending out a calendar this year on which is a copyof the picture. The painting is well worth a study. it has a pecu- liar interest for Canadians. CELEBRATED U. S. HOLIDAY. Mr, and Mts. Chas. F.
