PAINTED CHINA ExHIB- ION.
Miss Esther Kline Is Displaying 1t
at Griffin's Studio.

The exhibition of painted china by
Miss Esther Kline at the Griffin art
studio was visited by a large number
of ladies during the past two days.
Hand decorated china is not always a.
joy forever but these pieces are works
of art. They are shown in the large
inner room, amid a lovely setting of
plastic work, dainty cameo effects in
wedgewood and many rare reproduce
tions of famous paintings.
Among them are two tankards, one
with grapes and the other with roses
as the motive. These pieces are very
large and most effective in treatment,
and perhaps receive the largest share
of admiration.
By request Miss Kline will continue
the exhibition this afternoon.
