IN SOCIETY

Mrs. Bancroft's art reception which
she gave on Monday to open her new
studio in the California block, was as
much social as it was an artistic event,
the rooms were arranged and decorated
with that fine sense of color and har-
mony that characterizes everything Mrs.
Bancroft does. The work itself consists
entirely of decorated china, and with
few exceptions, the pieces shown were
recently executed orders which their
owners kindly allowed to remain in the
studio for the reception. Some of the
largest and finest sets were done for
Miss A. Clark, who is certainly to be
congratulated upon their ownership.
The fish set is especially good, and some
after dinner cotfees very attractive and
very well done. 1t is manifestly impos-
sibie to speak of the different
pieces, and the ideas embodied in
their decorations in a notice of this
kind, and as the studio is accessible and
Mrs. Bancroft cordial, those interested
cannot do better than to go and see for
themselves.
A great many invitations were issued
for Monday, and the adjoining studio of
Mr.. Hunt. the architect, was called into
service, where Mrs. Chapman, Mrs. ST.
lent, Miss Silent. Mrs MACEDONIAN, Mrs.
Anderson. Mrs. Felix Howes and Miss
Braley brewed tea and served a light
refreshment, and assisted generally in
receiving the visitors and showing the
china.
1t is unnecessary to say that the
studio was filed during the entire dav
with the more appreciative ladies of So
cety, and that the feeling of show
room, that is so often connected with
studio receptions was wholly and en-
tirely absent.
