will be held tomorrow morning. The bust
ness meeting of the Indiana Methodist His
torical Society was held at 8 o'clock this
morning. Among the interesting exhibits
for visitors is that of the school of art in
Simpson Art Hall. The studies most worthy
of mention in charcoal and crayon are:
The Venus de Milo by Miss Edith Bis
sell; THE Torso" by Miss Effie Pattee, and
some fine landscape work by Miss Florence
Pruitt. The best studies in oil are some
still life pieces by Miss Milly Reed, and

Miss Marion Casey. In the water color de-
