Humane Society has been presented by the Society to Miss Kathleen E. Sinton, aged 30, of Rosleigh, Ros-trevor, County Down, who on September 2 rescued her sister, Dr. Dorothy Sinton, from drowning. Dr. Sinton, who is a Doctor of Medicine attached to the Presbyterian Mission in China, went for a swim in Car~ Tingford Lough, alone, at about 9.30 in the morning. After some time in the water, she was' seized with cramp. She managed to keep afloat, but drifted further out, Miss Kath-een Sinton came to the lough later, and could not at first see her sister, but Inter heard a moaning and saw a hand stuck out of the water, Taking off some of her clothing, she swam out and reached Dr. Sinton, and supported her until a boat arrived and rescued them. Dr. Sinton had been in the water altogether nearly two hours before being finally brought ashore, Far Eastern Pictures Kashmir, Tibet, China, and India have all been depicted in a remarkable series of paintings and water-colours by Mrs. L. Schneider-Kainer, on show at the Lefevre Galleries, in King Street, St. Jame's. Their rare qualities are enhanced largely by the exceptionally difficult circumstances in which they were produced. Superstition and fear, of course, are characteristics of the people of some of the districts in those countries, and the mere appearance of an artist with a sketch-book results in 'a complete clearance of the streets where he decides to sketch. Some of the sketches, too, had to be snatched surreptitiously, whilst Mrs. Schneidor-Kainer was in her motor-car oF fon horseback. The art critic of the "Daily Mail" states that in her pictures "there is never a superfiuous touch. Every stroke of, her brush has a definite function and is varied in accordance with the nature of the object—sky, water foliage, oF whatever it may be. Here is an art jolly masculine and virile The strangeness of the scenes de pieted by her with so much gusto is never allowed to detract her attention feom the strictly pictorial problem. Some of her drawings recall the energetic handling and incisive characterization of Dame Laura Knight."
