What may be accomplished in getting up an
exhibition of pictures by industry and good
Judgment Is we'll shown Mt the exhibition of
works by American artists ut the Alpha Delta
Phi Club. The collection as a whole is so good
and so interesting that 1t is a pity it cannot be
seen by more people than can be asked to club
exhibitions. Without tho prestige of a large
club to help them. Mcssrs. Ward and Armstrong
have brought together about seventy pic
lures In oil and in water color, very few
of which have been exhibited before. They
do not by any means represent all
phases OF the native school. and some Of
the most Motel names are not in the list of
painters given in the catalogue. yet the exhibi-
ton lie catholic and representative at least Of the
best work of some OF our most interesting
painters. 1t Is stronger in landscape than in
figures, and includes but few examples of por-
t~raiture. The pictures are as we'll arranged on
the walls and as we'll lighted as the structure Of
tho rooms permits. Most OF the painters are
represented by two works. The water colors
form about a third OF the whole number.
Mr.. Blashheld's figure. painted for his large
composition. Tho Bells" Mr.. Fowler's AT
tho Piano." Mr.. Chester Loomis's excellent
picture of Hester Prynne in the wood. Mr.. Cur
rams, Mr.. Bells. Mr.. Naigele's. and Mrs. Sher-
woods portrait studies. Mr.. F.. c. Jones's The
