 cises Last Night.
 We'll might the lovers of art who
 attended the closing exercises of the
 Catholic Women's association last night and saw the exhibits of class work rejoice at the handsome display which greeted their eyes The differ ent rooms of the association were util- ized for exhibit, which was superior to any previous exhibit. The various articles were marked with skilled workmanship and arduous, earnest work on the part of the owners and the different instructors may we'll feel delighted with the work of their pu- plls which won many favorable com ments from those present last night All the exhibits were fine, but per- maps there were few which are worthy of special mention. An ele- Sant surpiice, the work of Miss Jen- nie O'Neill received much attention during the evening. It is made of point d'esprit lace and is of such a me nature that the workmanship is very difficult. The value of the sur plice is about $135. Mrs r.
