watchword of the past week IN this fair
city, so pleasantly and successfully Were
the varied programmes carried out. IL

in the history of Savannah The streets
were resplendent with military display;
while the deep roll of the drum and strains
of martial music resounded throughout
the air. maintaining a feeling of excite
ment and eXhlleration which viii be MISS
ed in the ensuing quiet.
One of the loveliest features of the
week was the occasional passing of a
carriage filled with "airy fairy" spon-
sers. and their graceful corteges, decked
in the colors of their sol distant god
sons. and carefully intent upon looking
after their interests and pleasure. one
of the most attractive entertainments
during the week was a lawn party given

ment to the Morton Cadets of Washing

Among the many and varied attractions
oHered 70 Savannahians and their friends
during the past week nothing has appeal
eu more TO the elevated and highly cult
waited tastes than the exhibition of the
work Of the students of the Savannah Art
league IN the ladies' parlor of the Guards
armory. Those who have enjoyed the adj
Nantages and opportunity of Mr. Horace
Bradley's teaching reflect credit upon him
Tor though he has spent less than three
months in Savannah the work Of his pupils
speak for Itself, and shows the great value
OF ms instruction and criticism. All of the
stuules eNmDlted are from stiu life and
caste work. the proper of execution Of
Wnicn requires accuracy and attention to
detail. The paintings of Mrs Garrard
Miss Wilkins and Miss Vaieria Chisboln
are evidences of great talent and prove
some hard work done by these ladies dur
ing the past few months. The portrait
painting from life by Miss wilkins is de
serving of highest praise. The pen and ink
ana also the pencil work of Miss Jett How
ard has been particularly admired The
outlines of the familiar face of one of Sa-
Vannah's most beautiful and admired wo-
men put upon paper by the pen of genius

CURES time and patient effort-are par
Tlculafly interesting, and is the best exhi-

good fortune of Savannah people to see
mere Most prominent among the charcoal
studies are those of Mrs Adams Mrs
Ashmore and Misses Desbouillons CHS

Ihese young ladies We're the most promi-
nent contestants for the scholarship offer
cd by MIR. Bradley in the New York Art
League. Mr.. Bradley has awarded This
scholarship TO Miss Chisolm, much to The
delight of her many friends. Few of those
VINO saw her charcoal work We're aware of
the fact that it had all been done in the
last month. Miss ChisOlm devoted most of
her time to painting in oils. Besides three
paintings two studies from life and a
Venus de Milo and the head of Psyche in
charcoal point, show for themselves that
the award Of the scholarship to Miss CHS
Ohm was well deserved. She is an artist
who gives promise of excellent work and
