DURING the psst week the dream Oh art in
Memphis was made real. Mics Kate Carl
wac our benefsotress. Her art reception
which opened on Wednesday and closed on
Saturday, was feast Tor longing eyes, and
rested Tired hearts. 1t renewed alec the smb-
ton that Memphis shall no longer be uu-
known in the art world. 1t touched, too, the
spring of woman's pride 10 womsn's work.
Miss Carl was educated in Memphis, and
studied art for several years in the Old World.
Her pupils catch the enthusiasm, aud the
visitors 10 her studio feel her magnetism.
We found no dead leaves OF dry work aud
duties, but living, speaking, beautiful life
Of progression and Improvement. The adj
vance made by the pupils of this gifted artist
tells more than words or written com menda-
ton. The greater part OF the work on exhi-
ton was by pupiIs. "Waitipg," a picture
by new pupil, had so much expression that
one would call it soul picture. There is
only the sea and sky, old bost and
woman's form-"waiting"-snd eyes looking
over the sea. The princess in the Tower"
attracted, not admiration alone, but love.
A copy of Murillo's madonna" was sd-
mirsble. A copy Of Landseer's three horses
heads, in crsyop, has rare merit; also the
head OF horse belonging TO fire company.
A panel of white wild roses, by a very little
girl, and painted from handfnl of flowers
she gathered in lane, speaks her succtss in
the future. Miss Carl was kind 10 her
friends By allowing on exhibition something
Of her own-one picture, the portrait Of one
of her pupils, life siza, standing in riding
habit, ready to mount One other picture
By Miss Carl was original from the little
song, "Down the Shsdory Lane" One knew
poets brain had fancied and an artists
hand had wrought. Everywhere painted
chairs, FANS decorative art in every form,
met the eye. The rooms were thronged with
delighted visitors, thus speaking well for our
people and our home srtist.
