Exhibition of school Work.
There is in the academy parlors, Col
East Capitol street, fine display of paint
ings, drawings, sewing and class work,
which will be on exhibition until June 20
Among the specimens of plain sewing are
several dresses, skirts. waists, neat darns
and patches and numberless aprons, all
made entirely by the nimble fingers of lit
tie girls of the Junior and intermediate
departments. Work of special excellence
was done by Misses F. Touhey, NJ Blaine
G. Higgins, K. Maley, NJ. Mullen, r.. Cum
minis, lola and Esther Fitzgerald. Misses
NJ. Mccormick and NJ. Eckloff deserve
special mention in map drawing.
On entering the large parlor the first
object that meets the eye is a beautiful
oi; painting of ST. Cecilia, who, with her
fingers pressing the mystic keys of her
crgan, seems to fill the room with un-
tian Graces," by Mss Loreto Jennings, and
The Sacred Heart" by Miss Mary r.
McCormick-deservedly occupy prominent
position.
Noteworthy among the oil exhibits are
a long panel of violets by Miss Edith
Hutchinson, a landscape by Miss Frances
England. cluster of roses by Miss Mary
r. Mccormick. marine scene by Miss f.
Habercom and a panel picture of storks
by Miss NJ. Miller. Misses NJ. Hazen and
NJ. Miller have several well-executed stud
les in water colors. Miss Katie Ahern's
numerous specimens of LIE Crox china
painting prove that to far more than ordi-
nary talent she has added the still rarer
gift of persevering devotedness to art.
On several other pieces of beautifully
decorated china are the names of
Misses c. Smith, r. Repetti, r. Mcdonald
and NJ. Miller. One entire wall is covered
with rencilings, showing varied degrees of
talent and skill The best work of this
kind bears the names Lena Gloyd, Ollie
Greene, Susie Mcdonald, Mary Spier and
Margaret Keane.
