ADAME AMYOT, the clever painter of "Tit-Bits," the picture which proved so popular when presented with the first number of this magazine, and also of the equally clever companion picture, entitled "Scattered Tit-Bits," which is given with the present number, was born at Copenhagen. She began to draw at a very early age, but she was twenty before her father allowed her to study art as a profession. At Dusseldorf, and afterwards at Christiania and Stockholm, she studied assiduously, and painted some important pictures. In 1877 and 1878 she had pictures on the line at the Paris Salon. In the latter year she married Mr. Thomas Amyot, an English doctor, and soon afterwards settled in London, where her pictures appear in all the chief exhibitions. It may be of interest to add that the boy in the two "Tit-Bits" pictures is a portrait of her own little son.
