The list of women artists that appeared

no means exhausted the resources of Jer-
sey City in this particular. Leaving out
of the consideration Che countless horde
of young women who have taken lessons
in oil. "and find it necessary TO v good
there ara still many women who have
sufficient talent to make their studies no
less userul than pleasant.
Mrs. Moritz E. Schwarz has hitherto
been known as a soprano soloist Of rscog-
nized ability. but ii her artistic efforts
may soon a v double honors TO sustain.
1t is only a short time since she began to
give serious study to the matter, but in
these few weeks the talent that she has
shown mas astonished all those who have
been permitted To inspect results. Mrs
Schwarz is the wife of the well known
composer and assistant organist of st.
johns Free Church, and is able to par
sue her musical career along the same
lines with her talented husband.
MISS scUDDER'S TALENT.
Miss Alice Scudder, daughter OF the
Rev. John L.. Scudder, has proved herself
possessed of real talent and a serious in
terest in this direction. She studied
with Miss Minnie Nelson, whose work
was described last week, and reflects in a
degree her methods of treatment without
mere copying OF details. The famous
artist and illustrator. Gray-Parker,
whose locked and clipped horses are
familiar sights in the magazines, awarded
to Miss Scueder a gold medal for the best
stfllllife, at HassEoucS Institute last
June. The central point of the study was
a jar holding clusters of hHlf-open milk
weed Iods. Miss Scudder's water-color
sketches from nature are alwa Us spirited
aue sincere, and give the strongest proof
of her possibilities.
In the competition just mentioned,
honorable mention was given Miss
Alletta V. Abernethy of Third sire ct, a
young artist. whose clever work has been
attrac Ting considerable attention. While
Miss Abernethy's still lifes are admirably
executed, she has SO far shown the most
talent III charcoal drawing from the cast.
A TALENTED YOUNG LADY.
Miss Emeile Schroeder of Kensington
avenue Is a variously talented young
lady. Besides a sweet soprano voice,
which gives promise of much beauty, she
has showed remarkable aptitude for
painting. The writer has in mind a clever
little still-Iife in oils that bore her card a t
a recent exhibition and showed unmis-
taxable talent. Miss Mary Bray is an
other of the younger artists. and one of
much promise. One of her more Import
ant efforts is a spirited study of dogs
heads in charcoal.
Miss Ethel S. Potts. daughter of Mr.. j..
Herbert Potts. of Magnolia avenue. Is
one of the most talented young artists in
the city. She began charcoal drawing
with Miss Louie Hornig, before she be-
came Mrs. Daniel Bowly, Studying with
her until the class was discontinued.
Since then she has continued her study
almost without a break. Miss Potts tai
ent for composition and originality OF ar
rangement, marks her work with true
artistic merit. Her simplest pencil sketch
has about it the atmosphere of talent.
Miss Ginevra Kennedy, who with her els
ter came from Indiana to study,
is devoted to her art, and spends
several hours every day in the studio.
Miss Kennedy was formerly a member of
George De Forest Brush's class In New
York, until her health would not permit
the constant work. Since then she has
turned her attention rather to ceramic
decoration. In their house, on Halliday
street the sketches of one sister vie with
the violin stands and music sheets of the
other in making the rooms charmingly
picturesque.
