lures Nyere given by the Ladies Home Journal
to be disposed of for tue benefit of the Assocl-
alton and the sale. we understand. was very
successful The gem of the collection was 10
pictures most kindly loaned by A. B. Frost OF
Convent a5tati0nj for the exhibition. They
were well worth trip anywhere and: excited
the greatestisa miration and interest. A The
most interesting, perhaps were theiabicycle
pictures which appealed to every one. Every
one who saw them felt sense of gratitude to
Mr.. Frost for his kindness in giving Morris
town people so great a treat.
The catalogues were well worth the price of
admission being verv dainty. with their pic
lures Of women and steaming cup of tea on
their covers. To those who had time to study
their catalogue and sit down in the pretty hall
of the association building, watch the fire and
admire the pretty tea table, to say nothing of
the delicious tea which was offered, one felt q
sense Of surprise that this good work of having
exhibitions a. this place did not come oftensr.
The rooms are exceedingly pleasant and we'll
arranged, the ventilation good and the locality
of the building central. Mrs. Frank Marsh
presided at the tea table on Tuesday, Mrs.
Ayers and Mrs. Douglass assisting 1t is due
greatly to Miss James that this exhibition was
given and she worked very hard to make it a
success. We trust that to the Y. NJ. G. A. the
result peculiarly may be as great as was the
enjoyment TO those who were fortunate
enough To attend the exhibition.
