is one Of interest. Miss Elizabeth, who has
charge Of certain lines Of art study In the
Lincoln Polytechnic institute, has an attrac-
tive collection. Miss futile has been n
student in Chicago Art institute and Is pro-
nounced by artists as very promising indeed.
Considering that she Is scarcely more than a
girl her style. both In water colOrs and oils,
k very strong and effective.
Miss Snow1on has several pretty pieces.
"After the Opera shows the discarded bou-
quet. the opera glasses and other parapher-
MALTA thrown upon the table. Her fruit piece
Of grapes looked peculiarly cool and deli
clous. as the hot southwest wind with its
burden Of binding dust beat at pane and
door. II Is an excellent piece OF work.
Mrs. Frances Mumaugh, whose work Is
30 well known in Omaha. has two landscapes
handled in a Characteristic manner and two
attractive fruit pieces.
Mrs. Catlin shows a picture called Fun
and Fright" which is a copy from Chicciri in

Also a landscape painted from nature, Green
Port Harbor, l.. L." several studies in still
life and a portrait Of Emma o.
A study called "a Character from the Mis-
sour Bottoms" Is one OF the most interest
ing things shown. The title explains Itself,
ciated. There may be artistic faults. but
the Character from the Bottoms" Is before
you. And such a cbsracter! MOI! It's not a
pretty pictured! Souls that are cramped and
perVerte0 are not beautiful, anu the DJule5
through which they are known are not fair
to see. Mrs. r. A. Willis, the artist. has
done much in this study. Her head of an
Italian girl is also a study from life.
MANY OTHER PICTURES.
Albert Rothery's After the Bath" Is the
only study from the nude exhibited. Beside
this he has two sketches in the style Of the
impressionist's school-one is of the "Smelter
at Work and the other From My window"

freshlng scene. Not one of Omaha's as
pirants for artistic excellence has made a
more thorough and rapid progress In the
past few years than has Mr.. Rothery.
Mrs. o. NJ. Carter has a very good study
of roses.
Mrs. A. T. Swick shows enc charming little

tween iron bars. The b RS are r al ron, the

cellent character.

OF careful work in fruit and still-life study.
John Harrol l. one of the amateurs who is
Just now exciting interest. Mr.. II rr5l Is ty
trade a house painter and dec lra or In h S
leisure moments he has been work ng at
stud es in oils. His fruit piece is good, the
study in still life showing much more than
ordinary artistic imagi atom
One little picture deserves mention rather
perhaps by reason of tt, subject than it's
artistic merits. 1t is a Nebraska sod hodse,
executed by Emily Bray.
In water colors Miss futile has already
peen mentioned in thih department. Miss
Helen Baum has q largJ and attractive col

work in both pastel and water color.

CLEVER WORK OF ARTISTS.
Mr.. II. Harrison, a young man scarcely 10
years of age, has a delightful collection OF
his work on exhibition. In several pieces he
essays the mpresslonist's style. One picture.
I'm the Orchard" is very attractive, both as
to the handling OF the landscape and the wor'
on the figure Of the young girl. Another
little water sketch is excellent. Even in
flower study Mr.. Harrison is not to be out
done. His study In v~iolets, if not character
istic, is pleasing.
Mrs. Lydia McCague, who has for a year
or more been making a study of Designing
in stained glass windows, has two or three
charmingly dainty pieces.
Considerable space is given up to the Ne
braska Ceramic club. This club, which con-
sists OF about fifty members, was formed be-
cause 1t was easier for a club than an individ-
ual to gain access to the Worlds fair. This
then, is its first exhibit. In this short time
the general character of the work has ma
teriGlly improved. In the present showing 1t
is difficult to find anything that can unre-
servedly be pronounced poor. Outside of
Omaha there are about twelve members
Hastings. Fremont and Plattsmouth are rem
resented. All members Of the club are very
ambitious and enthusiastic.
Perhaps the most valuable and beautiful
piece OF china on exhibition Is a punc5 how,
decorated by Mrs. Harry Ford. TIE sketch

dish is very dainty and the exquisite color.

G. l. Gilbert, Mrs. o. Hoffman ard Mrs. Lund
are others Of the excellent workers who have
work on exhibition. Mrs. Lund's speciality is
figure work.
The city photographers have added much
to this exhibit by the exce'lency of their own
collections. Mr.. Sharp. an amateur in photog-
raphy. has a collection Of photos that rival
the professionals.
Mr.. Raymond shows some very valuable
vases and artistic lamps and cut glass. Over
his collection hangs one OF Browns famous
paintings, THE Trick at Cards"
