THE LEAP YEAR RECEPTION.
Women's Art Museum Association-A Bril-
liant Social Event,

Aeut cOclol GNoue
The reception by the Women's Art Mu.
scum Association has been the general topic
for some time past and the event last night
in all respects fully met the expectations
Of those who have eagerly looked forward
to it.
The rooms of the Association were very
brilliantly lighted and presented most
beautiful appearance in all respects Guests
began to arrive little after O'Clock, but
it was after before the rooms were filled
and arrivals continued Tor an hour later.
The time until 10 o'clock vas occupied
by the reception proper. Mutual greetings
were exchanged, and the works of art on
exhibition were examined, and the ladies
of the Association received many warm
congratulations on the progress that has
been made.
In the main Art Hall the paintings
and tapestries, the pottery and the speci-
mems of artistic needlework were arranged
upon the walls and in cases extending quite
around the room. Along the northern
wall were specimens of the work done by
the pupils in Mr.. Powers class in sculp-
ture, which has been one of the prides of
the Association, but which will soon have
to forego the instruction of Mr..
Powers, who intends to return to
Italy. 1t was the first compre-
hensive display made by any of the new
classes which the association founded, and
it seemed last night to have a significance
which lone would have justified such a
gathering for purposes of congratulation.
There were copies from the antique
(Apollo, Mercury, Minerva) by Miss Mel
drum, Miss Edith Harrison, Miss Carlisle,
Mrs. Dawes and Miss Green; ideal heads by
Miss Lizzie Nourse and Miss Carrie Lord,
portrait bust of child by Miss Laura Fry,
copies Of Michael Angelo and Dante, and a
striking bust in clay of their venerable
mother by the Misses johnson, copy OF
Hiram Powers Psyche by Miss Kimball,
of Pennsylvania, and copy of Michael
Angeles Slave, by Mrs. Kinsey.
