dies League.

is Continued for the Benefit of
the Gentlemen.
So pronounced was yesterdays reception
of the Ladies Art league, that the exhibit
was continued this afternoon for the bene-
fit of the gentlemen. The rooms were
crowded during the entire time of the ex-
hibit, and there were many favorable COM
ments and criticisms particularly on the
work of Mrs. Cummings, Mrs. Hedrick
and Miss Sternberg. The latter's Swiss
scene represented continued study and in
dustry, and was a most attractive lands
cape. The violin girl, by Mrs. Cummings,
though unfinished work, attracted much
attention as did also the work of Mrs.
Hedrick, in landscape, flowers and por-
traits. Mrs. Stockin had the finest
and largest general collection of
painting and art needle work, and has con-
sented to assist in instructing class in art
needle work. All ladies are invited to
