ARTISTIC WOMEN.
Embroidery, NeedIework and
Painting by Minnesota Ladies
That Are Much Admired.

Painting by Minnesota Ladies'
That Are Much Admired. :
Looking at the exhibits of the Min4
nesota women as whole, one might be-
inclined to ask if that were ali, but
taking into consideration that those ar.
ticles accepted as fl to represent the.
great state of Mime sofa are of a high
order OF merit, the visitor must logically
be satisfied over the showing. 1t was,
too, difficult thing to arouse a large
amount of enthusiasm in the women,1
who at all times feared harsh criticism.
The spreading around into different de-i
partments has had a somewhat demoral-i
izing effect, although seemingly neces-i
sarY to preserve the general harmony
in the women's building.
To the ladies of Minneapolis must be
| given the golden plum of exceliing in
number and quality of exhibits. The
Fjelde sisters are remarkable workers.
in needle painting, and aside from the !
handsome state flag, contributed two
banners, one with the winged mercuryi
III shades of pink upon white silk
ground. the other the goddess of music
silk upon a white foundation. Miss
| Mamie Myland sends a Hardarnger
scarf, Hardarnger table cover with
lace, and an Oriental scarf, which
are particularly commendable. a piece
of the difficult Roman cut work and
center table square of point russo was
done by Miss Hulda LIE Clare, of st.
Paul. Next comes HOnitan lace hand
kerchief sent by Emily Smythe, OF
this city. a lace dress of dainty pat
tern, entirely hand made, is the work
of Mrs. NJ. l.. Berg, of Minneapolis,
and valued at $500. Mrs. Florence La
Due, of Hastings, gives a table cover,
mats and towel, of Oriental embroidery,
cleYeriy done and particularly pretty.
A novelty is an embroidery in the
finest of stitches, by lady eighty
three years old-Mrs. Lucy P. Leland,
of Minneapolis.
THE RECORD ROOM.
In the record room stands a cunning
little 5 o'clock tea table handsomely
carved by hand, the work of Miss Made
line Hazenwinkle, of st. Paul. clever
young lady of fifteen years. The bust
of an old man in marble is by Mrs. Will
lam Hinkle, of Minneapolis. Photo.
graphs of phiIanthropic work are an
interesting exhibit sent by Mrs. L. B.
Walker, of Minneapolis, chairman of
the state committee. Mrs. j. & Werle
and Mrs. D. n. Knight, of st. Paul, both
ladies' approaching three score and
ten, sent knitted pillow sham
and fnely-draWn piece for
for table. The case of embroidered
linens and eXquisitely painted china
ware from the st. Paul Woman's ex-
change is all hours of the day the cen
ter of admiring groups of women. Each
dainty bit of linen Is so perfectly done
that it deies criticism, while the
o'clock table contains a set of Louis
XVI. shapes in tea set, painted in robin
blues that positively bring forth envy
FOR its possession. Mrs. II. f. Stevens,
Of st. Paul, assisted in the arrange
nent of this case. The literary
charts of the various Minneapolis
clubs have sent the most unique designs
N artistic water cOlors, each Of which is
worthy separate recognition. There
Ire twenty-seven clubs in all, and they
give good estimate of the city's literary
ioings. Mrs. CahOon, of Brainerd, has
gathered an interesting collection from
amateur photographers. DoylieS of fin
lrawn work were done by Miss Min
lie Fulsom, OF Saltwater, and are pretty
pits for table ornamentation. The fol-
owing exhibits are made in the fine
irts sections by Minneapolis ladies' in
water colors:
Miss Annett Wales, decorative water
.olOr; Miss Wales, "Violets on Snow"
Late Atternoon;" Miss Harrison. "Au-
umn Study" "Old Monk" Miss Grace
dckinstry, Faribault. pencil drawing;
Fifteen Minutes" character sketch, is
)y Jessie Anderson, of MooThead. An
NJ painting, Still Life" by Mrs. I. @.
jlarke, of Saltwater. ana Corn Field"
~ Miss Julia Walker, of Minneapolis,
lnish the list. The state claims three
ventiOns-self-thread sewing ma
hine needle, wash boiler and dress
haTt-all clever ideas that will assist in
he progression of work. The ST. Peter
hospital work is a case containing dolls
IresSed in the professional nurse cos
ume, pretty little articles of baby wear
III done by the inmates of the asylum.
t is Mrs. TomlinSon'S idea, as matrOn,
hat if light is ever to enter these poor
arkened intellects it will be through
occupation. In taXidermy, group of
prairie chickens suggest
port for the hunter and an excellent
Inner for Sir Epicure, done by Mrs.
laura Tinsley. The educational ex-
libit by Minneapolis school children,
lndeT the super vision of Miss Arnold.
S remarkably complete and interesting.
The various grade work is shown from
to night school, and proves
hat the young folks made every effort
0 portray their ability as students.
This is a branch of the educational ex-
Iibit of the liberal arts building, which
