The lovers of ceramic art have had \
royal feast the past week, and a violent
and sudden attack Of china painting has
seized q soore or moe of our leading la
dies. under the skillful guidance Of Miss
Warren. of Minneapolis. and her able as
sistant, Mr.. Graham. Those ladies held 4
reception at the Hotel Helena, May IL, and
although 1t was a rainy day, many went to
view the handsome work displayed. II
required much urging to induce Miss War
rem to give . few lessons, but the ladies
have improved the very brief time allotted
them, and have accomplished = vast amount
of work in On entirely new style. The
Bischoff roses have been a favorite study;
the La France ones are 30 perfectly done
one could almost detect the odor. The tex
ture Of the leaf was unmistakabls in its
delicaoy.
A few of the ladies were able to attempt
figures. and most marvellous results are
seeu-bswitohinR Cupids, stately dances,
and knights have been executed without
deal of labor and study. One thing was
particularly noticeable. the backgrounds
were always harmonious, and reflected
lights never forgotten. Two especially
good things were seen, ono painted by =
married lady on the west side and the other
done by a young lady artist of the east
eide. Each did q couple of figures, one on
a j%ardinniere and the on a Faiense vase. In
each was . young girl, and the colorinR
of the background was SO delicate
that it added an atmosphere of soft
meas and ~fenininity that was in every way
ground of the accompanying male figures
was intensified and strengthened, as his
character is supposed to b..
In the studio was found the largest COL
lection of art pieces over shown here. and
the ladies have been buying, all sorts of
dainty pieces OF Bsleek,t 20 thin and she'll
like, and \ great many odd shapes, that are
not usually found in this country. So much
was broken in bringing it to Helena that it
has been decided to auction OF what re-
mains on Monday, rather than risk carry
ing it back, and we predict a novel sight
md not a little excitement at an auction
conducted by women.
TIL entertainment to be given by the
Woman's Relief corps at &. A. Il. hall on
Thursday evening. q "Ied, white and blue
party" was earnestly, enthusiastically and
~patrioticslly attended. This society of
women is a branch of the G. A. r., and the
nee of the widows and children of Ameri-
can soldiers. Their lnbors and kind atten-
ton during the past year have served to as
aist a large number of women who had
their support taken from them when their
brave husbands gave up wife. children.
first Of the exercises consisted Of a musical
and literary programme az follows:

Following this most interesting pro-
gramme the ladies served a most delicious
supper in an adjoining room, and then
dancing WAS the pleasure engaged in dur
ing the remainder Of the evening.
There have been organized many different
kinds of unions in this country, but such q
one as is and has been for years a vsritable
power in Germany ia not among them. II
is called the Housewife Union. and was Or
for tho purpose of improving tho
service in Berlin. Besides reQu-
lating the servant question it has also
turned its attention to the prices Of supplies
md has also interested itself in the cru-
Dades against the adalteration of foods. 1t
been the habit of late years at the regu-
lar yearly meetings of the association to !
confer prizes Of different value upon ser
wants who have been in the employ of the
Of this club for great lengths of {
lime. Every woman serving at least i've
years in tho same household was the re-
of a handsome breastpin and an {
certificate in recognition of her {
service, together with q sum of
money. The first prize awarded was TO I
woman who had served fifty ]
vears with tho same family, but
owing to her being so old she was not able
20 travel, and 80 her reward WAS forwarded. :
There were twenty-eiRht prizes in all =
awarded, for terms Of service ranging from
tho five years up to thirty eight, and the '
ono for fifty. If American women would !
1estir Themselves and follow tho plan of
heir German sisters. what q relief the sery- |
INT question would be to them. The great
trouble between housewives and their serv- 7
lntS in this country is a lack of sympathy.
Those who labor are not given the amount r
consideration and kind attention that I
foreign servants obtain, and consequently q
10 not attend to the different duties re-
luired of them in the same conscientious !
If American women would study =
he feelings OF the workers and DO ante =
hem As they would have others do ante "
they would mood fewer lntelli- =,
renee Offices and there would be much less !
Of servants. !
