the class, headed by their artistic
teacher, Mrs. f. Winter, and her
daughter Miss Blanche, with well
come only known to artists, gave us
the pleasure of their store house of art,
labyrinth indeed, and without their
guidance "Perdita" could be proclaim
ed. Enraptured is no name covering
all phases of nature. Each member of
the school wore beautiful floral de-
signed badge in ivory, a palette with
the inscription, 'Art Glass, G. f. o.,
1889"
Nine pieces in oil were shown by
Miss Lillian Ryland. In landscape and
natural scenery Miss Lillian has won
distinction. A winter scene, a farmer
tending his flock, is well done; also
panel of pink carnations.
Miss Lulu Piper works side by side
with Miss Ryland, in fact they are
twin artists. Miss Piper's collection
consisted of nine pieces, all in oil. A
spring scene, stream sending forth a
volume of water, the green grass, the
clear, delicate blue sky, cows draw
ing near, is very natural. Another, a
marine painting, surging waves and
ship in mid ocean calls forth her talent
for all that is lite like.
Miss Minnie Turner, twelve pieces,
crayon and oil. One of crayon in sa-
cred art; st. John clasping a snowy
fleeced lamb and cross, speaks well for
the advancement of an art that has
long been silent. A rocky coast scene,
lonely, deserted, the white cliffs, as OF
Old England. the dark clouds shifting
DER the sea, and the seeming ominOus
cry OF flying birds, is painting of
vigorous actually.
Miss Ella d. Young, seven piec

tile is becoming very popular,
and in this exceptionally fine col.
lection Miss Young deserves mark.

Miss May Anderson, very good-and
natural.
Miss Eliza Porter, seven pieces in
pastille and crayon. An old English
church centres this grouping; its mo-
nastic and popish air, its fortressed
walls, turretted towers and moat,
are as sealed Enclosures. Two panels
of fruit and winter scene produced q
contrasting effect.
Miss Mary Walkup, eight paintings
in oil. Two panels, winter and sum-
mer scenes; colors in flags, poppies /:
two placques of pansies and carnations
formed most pleasing choice of art.
Miss Venia Clemmens, nine pieces
in crayon. Nothing more delights the
heart of parent than to be surprised
in the way of a token, as when il
comes from the accomplishments of a
daughter. Miss Clemmens presented
her father and mother with their por
traits in crayon, and that they are
natural is only to give them hall their
worth. a home picture of spool,
with scissors, a shell and thimble plac-
ell on a table, is a realism of industry
Miss Leila Robinson. seven pieces in
oil. A table of variety of flowers,
two panels with deers, and panels OF
flags, present inviting gaze to even the
most fasiidious.
