NINA TURES ON IVORY.

Miss Helen Pettes has long held high
place in the artist world of this city for
her remarkable work as painter of
miniatures on ivory. Probably there is no
form of portraiture that is more attractive
or better calculated to bring out all the
hest points in the male or female subject.
Miss Pettes is also water color artist Of
repute. At Mrs. H. P. Dewey's, No. 6
Eastern Promenade the parlors are filled
with beautiful specimens of Miss Pettes' s
taste and skill. Yesterday they were
thronged with people who expressed their
delight in no set terms at the beautiful
work displayed, and as the exhibition
will be continued all day today, morning
afternoon and evening, there will doubt
less be even larger company present
Miss Pettss's work is fully the equal of
that of the best New York artists in her
line whose miniatures of leading society
