A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. 
A Picture for the Home Circle. 
"DANDELION TIME." 
By MRS. LILLy M. SPENCER. 
The Publishers of the American Agriculturist have 
purchased of the artist this beautiful painting, and have 
issued it as a Chromo, designing thus to enable very- 
many to secure it as an ornament and source of 
pleasure in their homes. Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer has al- 
ready won an honorable name in art. Though of a poetic 
imagination, and the author of many paintings which 
comprise classical and allegorical subjects, she is best 
known for her pictures of domestic life. Her works ol 
this class have been reproduced in colored lithographs 
and other forms, and through these her name has become 
a familiar one throughout the country. Finding that 
pictures of a domestic character with something of tho 
humorous in them were more popular than those to 
which her natural tastes inclined her, Mrs. S. for some 
years painted such subjects almost exclusively. Her 
"Shake Hands," "Jolly Washerwoman," "The Gos- 
sips," and others, are known to all lovers of pictures. 
They are full of life 1 meaning, and at the same time 
finished with an -acy and detail that few artists 
attempt. Among ?st productions are "War Timer, 
atHome," "Thr « the Red, White, and Blue," 
" The Starr-- auty to the Brave," etc. In the 
beautiful 3red, called 
"DANDELf ^N TIME," 
three children, of whom thv 
babe, and a huge Ncwfo^ youi . 
is a plump, rosy 
•g which they have 
decked with a dandel it inland represented out at.
