A very delightful evening was passed by
an interested number of the artists of this
city together with other friends of Miss
Adelaide johnson, the eminent sculp-
tress of Washington, at her unique and
artistically furnished home, No. 216 First
street northeast, where, after inspecting
her many pictures and the several works
of her chisel, they were brilliantly enter
tanned by an impromptu address from Mrs
Cora L. V. Richmond, of Chicago, on THE
Philosophy OF Art which for keen appre-
citation, epigrammatie, brilliancy, philo-
sophical insight and comprehensive scope,
was conceded by those present to be the
most satisfactory expression on this gen.
eral subject which they had ever listened
to. In addition, extempore poems were
given to several parties present, which
entwined in verse, not only recited their
respective personal qualities and distinctive
characteristics, but also gave symbolic
name of the real or interior traitspossessed
by the party in question-alI with a fidelity
that proved as marvellous as it certainly
was interesting and beautiful.
