Although Mrs. Lottie Guffn, the artist, is as
much sought after by the literary and social
lights of the city as any of the gifted women of
the State. she is seen at conventional and public
gatherings the least of any who could be men
toned. This is from choice. She meets her
friends as she paints-for the soul that meets
her. Her friendship means something more
than the mere conventional hand shaking and
stereotyped society smile. To attend a gath
e1lng at her artistic home is to meet some of the
most congenial of minds. Last week Mrs Gufin
gave an evening" in honor of Rev. Myron w.
Reed. Besides that distinguished gentleman,
there were present Judge Noonan and wife, of
