2 Mme. Abbema illustrated "La Mer," by Maizeroy, and has contributed to the Gazette des Beaux-Arts and several other Parisian publications.

At the Salon of the Artistes Frangais, 1902, she ex- hibited the "Portrait of Pierre," and in 1903 a portrait of the Countess P. S.

Mme. Abbema wears her hair short, and affects such absolute simplicity in her costume that at first sight she reminds one of a charming young man. In no other direction, however, is there a masculine touch about this delightful artist. She has feminine grace, a love for poetry, a passion for flowers, which she often introduces in her pictures; she has, in short, a truly womanly character, which'appears in the refinement and attractiveness of her work.
