HAMMOND, GERTRUDE DEMAIN. Several prizes at the School of the Royal Academy, 1886, 1887, and in 1889 the prize for decorative design; bronze medal at Paris Exposition in 1900.  Member of Institute of Painters in Water-Colors.  Born at Brixton.  After gaining the prize for decorative design Miss Hammond was commissioned to execute her design, in a public building.  This was the third time that such a commission was given to a prize student, and the first time it was accorded to a woman.

More recently Miss Hammond has illustrated books and magazines; in 1902 she illustrated the “Virginians” in a new American edition of Thackeray’s novels.  At the Academy, 1903, she exhibited “A Reading from Plato.”

HARDING, CHARLOTTE. George W. Childs gold medal at Philadelphia School of Design for Women; silver medal at Women’s Exposition, London, 1900.  Born in Newark, New Jersey, 1873.  Pupil of Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts and School of Design for Women.  In the latter was awarded the Horstman fellowship.  Miss Harding is an illustrator whose works are seen in a number of the principal magazines.

HART, LETITIA B. Dodge prize, National Academy of Design, 1898.  Born in New York, 1857.  Pupil of her father, James M. Hart, and Edgar M. Ward.

Her principal works are “The Keepsake,” “Unwinding the Skein,” “In Silk Attire,” and “The Bride’s Bouquet.”

HAVENS, BELLE. Awarded third Hallgarten prize at National Academy of Design, winter of 1903.  Born in Franklin County, Ohio.  Studied at Art Students’ League, New York, and at Colarossi Atelier, Paris.  In New York Miss Havens was directed by William Chase, and by Whistler in Paris.  In Holland she studied landscape under Hitchcock, and a picture called “Going Home” was accepted at the Salon and later exhibited at the Philadelphia Academy; it is owned by Mr. Caldwell, of Pittsburg.

Mr. Harrison N. Howard, in Brush and Pencil, writing of the exhibition of the National Academy of Design, says:  “‘Belle Havens’ the ‘Last Load’ is part and parcel with her other cart-and-horse compositions, commonplace and prosaic in subject, but rendered naturally and forcefully and with no small measure of atmospheric effect.  The picture is not one of the winsome sort, and it doubtless makes less appeal to the spectator than any other of the prize-winners.”

HAZLETON, MARY BREWSTER. First Hallgarten prize, 1896; first prize travelling scholarship, School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1899; honorable mention, Buffalo, 1901.
