A Few Fine Pictures.

A few visits to Cutters exhibition con- firms our previous belief that a few fine pie lures, iadicieusly selected and carefully studied, are of far greater value for pleasure collection that everybody think they must visit. Mir. Cutters collection comprises six ty-six pictures and everyone possesses very great artistic merit. It is natural for most people to give the most of their time and at tention to the larger and more important pie lures, therefore we wish to make special note of few of the smaller gems and we can only mention their titles: "A Summer Day." No. A, by J. w. Casilear, is a picture that would be "a joy forever" to it's possesser. Twilight" No. 6, by J. Francis Murphy, and ''Late Sunset" No. 16, by Charles Mel vile Dewey, are quite similar in their quail ties and either of them possess as great merits as many foreign pictures that tun tumn -0 Days" No. by Charles Harry Eaton, and "A Showery Morning." No. g, by J. R. Brevoort, are entirely different from the above, but equally attractive. There are two small pictures by W. Bliss Baker that seem to attract as much attention as any of the larger and more important works; there are No. 29, "A Bright Spring Morn ing" and No 30, Failing Leaves" These pictures are remarkable for their truthful and sympathetic rendering of some of the sweetest and most tender aspects of nature. Mr. Baker is young man, hardly twenty-five years old, yet already stands in the very front rank of American landscape painters. We can mention only two more of the small pictures at this time, and they are marines, Summer Clouds, ''No. Al. by DeHaas, and 'tNear Narragansett,' , No. 50, by Arthur Quartley. Both of these are exceedingly fine and worthy of careful study and would grace he walls of a con- noisseurs gallery. There are many others equally deserving of notice which we pass by till another time.

Two ThOuRRnd Dollars the Net Pro- ceeds-The Mortgage on the Home Reduced to Six Thousand.
 At meeting of the managers of the Y. W. c. A. yesterday afternoon it was an- nounced that the net proceeds of the choeo- late party amounted to over two thousand dollars.
 It was then and there unanimously voted that the sum of two thousand dollars be inn mediately applied toward the Home building, thus reducing the same to the sum of six thousand dollars.
 No doubt everyone will congratulate the ladies on their very gratifying success, and even the most indifferent person cannot fail to sympathize with the association in it's de- sire to see it's building free from debt.
 The managers send us this paragraph, which needs no comment, but speaks for itself:
 The Y. w. O. A. of New York say: 'Please report to Faith and Works that we have raised the entire sum necessary to complete our new building and $25, 900 ad- ditional has been contributed by Mrs. E. F. Shepherd (Mr. Vanderbilt's daughter) for it's thorough finish, furniture, ,etc., etc.-$150,- O00in alli"

THE PANCAKE PARTY.

Pleasant and Pretty Scene at the
 Homestead Near West Haven Shore
 The Hing and Ire Cake-AaWyer
 Bush,s Appetite Prevents 8 Roman.
 tic Denouement.
 The pancake party given under the aus pices of Christ church, West Haven, ct Hills Homestead last night proved to be, as anticipated, 8 very enjoyable affair. The Homestead was brilliantly lighted up and presented merry scene inside, where pretty maidens were bearing pancakes and coffee to the many in attendance, and sociabillty reigned supreme. In the dining hall the dancers had gathered and until nearly 12 o'clock the light fantastic was enjoyed. It is a very ancient custom on Shr ove Tuesday, the day before (Ash Wednesday, Lent begins, for the young people to first be shriven and then to give themselves up to amusements and festal celebrations. A favorite dish at the banquets on the eve of Ash Wednesday was the pancake, from which Pancake Tuesday" took it's name. A pleasant cus- tom also was connected with it. In the pan cakes was placed ring, and whosoever found it was to be welded before the next s'Shrove Tuesday" The custom was revived last night, and in addition to the ring sixpence was placed in the cakes, the finder of which, if unmarried, was to remain an old maid or bachelor for the year. The sixpence, however, was swallowed by Law yer c. K. Bush. Miss Lizzie Hine was tn e lucky young lady who secured the ring. The affair caused much merriment and huge stacks of cakes were deyoured by the young people in their eagerness to find the ring.
 Among the many present who helped to make the affair a success were Rev. Mr. Bee man, pastor of Christ church, and wife, MT. and Mrs. c. K. Bush MI. and Mrs. Howarth, Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Hills, Mrs. Conner, Superintendent W. W. Ward, Miss Gertrude Ferry, Miss Emile Daniels. Miss Fife Lucas, Miss Lizzie Hine, Miss Lottie Thomas and Miss Mattie Hull.
