MISS DUNN'S SECOND TALK
Charmed a Large Audience in the BIZ
cycle Club House Yesterday After
noon-Exhibition of Pictures.

A large number of people listened
again to Miss Emcine y. Dunn at the
Bicycle club yesterday afternoon and
admired her lovely water Colors. one
of the distinguishing features of her
works is that while the pictures grow
upon one as If often found to be the
case, they are charming at first sight.
There are no naval greens, no hard
angular outlines. Everything Is
painted from a true artistic standpoint.
There is faithful execution, hawless
drawing and a genuine feeling for color.
Too often water cOlOrs are cold. These
pictures are sunny and rich without
being in any sense glaring. Miss Dunn
has studied under the best masters in
America and has had exceptional aG-
vantages during a prolonged stay
abroad. Her work shows the effect of
infinite study and pre- aration.
She has consented to make copies of
any subjects shown at this exhibition
for the benefit of the Young WOmen's
Christian association. The pictures, of
which so much has been said, will be
shown free to all visitors at the Y. w.
G. 4. rooms today.
Among the pictures used in Miss
Dunn's talk yesterday were number
of American views, chiefly in Vermont
and along the st. Lawrence. a beau
tiful foreign picture was Mt. Vesuvius
pale in the soft violet light beyond the
sickle-Curve of the bay. Several neo-
politan pictures, a glimpse of landscape
lying between Saleono and Sorrento,
another along the Riviera near Nice.
a group including the house of Tibarius
showing the spot where Caligula is sup
posed to have been killed, the Ponte
Neccho at Florence and other views
| of famous spots were given.
One Of the most strikingly fascinat-
| ing subjects was a picture of Mount
| Blanc from ChamouniX in the roselned
| light of the Alpine glow. strongly con-
trasted with the living green of the
! forest foreground, where a shrine cross
reared its lonely head. The Barbizor
views were among the NEST admired
and probably the field with the CLEAN.

A remarkable result Of Miss Dunn
art was hown in the copy Of the fam
Gus Rambrandt portraits, in which /
seemed scarcely possible that the deptl
and richness of toe c1Ird be sccureC
in water color. An)thei brilliant cop.
was that of Millets Cleaners.
