where she has for some time been studying with
Marshall Fry, and has taken 4 studio in the Pepper
building. Her technique has greatly improved during
her residence in the East and her work in finish and
artistic effect and beauty OF design shows the result
of her careful and conscientious study. In her
methods Miss Warren has become an earnest dis
ciple OF Marshall Fry, whose aim is originality and
pure artistic effects, and we may expect from her
better work and OF a still higher character than any
that she has yet accomplished. At a recent exhibit
