A STUDIO TEA
And Exhibit of Water coIors by

And Exhibit of Water CoIors by
Mrs. J. L. Graham.
The social joys that spring from a
cup of tea are not often so happily
mingled with pleasures of the higher
sort as yesterday at the exhibit of wa
ter colors given by Mrs. Joseph L. Gra-
ham at her studio on York street. The
pretty room with it's bright background
of sketches was a spot to rejoice the
eye of even the merest tyro in art, and
a source of unalloyed delight to the Gull
tivated little group of people fortunate
enough to be present.
About forty sketches were exhibited
hung chiefly with regard to subject or
locality, and showing a breadth of
treatment, a feeling, and a sense of
color that placed them beyond criti-
csm. All the drawings were original
done by Mrs. Graham herself. They
included scenes in England, along the
New England coast and among the
New England mountains, two sketches
of the streets of Nassau, river
scenes at Thunderbolt, sketches done
in Colonial Park and on the country
roads surrounding Savannah, and
studies of flowers.
Particularly beautiful among the
flower subjects was a study of red
peoples, loaned by Mrs. G. A Gregory:
one of chrysanthemums, loaned by
Mrs. John M. Graham of Atlanta; one
of apple blossoms. loaned by Mrs WAL
ter c. Hartridge; one of yellow jessa-
mine loaned by Miss Graham of Angus

UNION MEETING.

The Kings Daughters Union held its
regular monthly meeting yesterday af-
ternoon. Announcement was made of
the recent donation by the Benevolent
Association of $3.50 to be applied to the
maintenance of the Day Nursery. This
generous gift was much appreciated
and there was considerable enthusiasm
over the matter, as we'll as over the
grant by the city of lot valued at
$1,000 on Thirty-seventh and Florence
streets, where the Day Nursery build
ing is to be erected. A rising vote of
thanks was given to Mr.. G. B. Pritch-
ard, through whom the former dona-
ton was made, and a rising vote of
thanks to Miss Kennedy, who has been
indefatigable in her efforts to obtain
the grant from the city.
Plans for the Christmas tree and
dinner at the nursery were discussed,
and "a committee of two from each
circle was appointed to attend to de-
tails In addition to the Christmas
dinner, there will be a Thanksgiving
dinner at the nursery. Donations of
turkeys, etc, have already been made.
The secretary of the union, Mrs. Tag
CART, has not yet received replies to
the letters addressed to the various
circles in the city asking them to Join
the union, so that no further steps can
be taken for the present in this matter.
