PETER DE HOOGH AND CUYP Let us now turn from the splendid gloom of Rembrandt's 'Knight in Armour,' to delight in this beautiful little interior of a Dutch house by Peter de Hoogh.

Still you see the prepossession for light, but for more tempered rays and softer shadows.

The sunshine is diffused by the yellow curtains throughout the room.

The old lady need not fear its revelations, to be sure, for it is Holland--she knows that the whole house has been duly scrubbed with soap and water.

Dust and dirt are banished.
