This journal has a personal interest which it is delighted to reveal in drawing attention to the display of portraits which Miss Doris Mon-togue Bell is now showing in the Tower Room at the Cathay Hotel. Miss Bell who has peep in Shanghai for about a year, is the daughter of Ins. Montague Bell who may still be remembered by old Shanghailanders as Editor of the "North-China Daily News" in the regime immediately preceding that of Mr. O. M. Green. Mr. Bell is in London nowadays editing a monthly journal dealing with the "Near East" but as. his fiends know, he continues to. take fan interest in the affairs of the Far East of his earlier days. His daughter coan, of course command attention for her art on its own merits, but it is pleasant here to endeavour to relnforce the. appeal with a grateful reminder of her other claim to Shanghai's notice. The Exhibition was opened last Wednesday and continued up to and including Dee-ember 23.
