SHOWN, ana the exhibition and sal,
of her pictures at the Inn THURSDAY
and Friday WAS OF especial Interest
and very successful. The studies
include work in color, pencil
crayon, pen and ink and red chalk
They were nearly all made in ths
Central Park zoo in New York
where she has worked for many
months, ,evoting herself especially
to the lions. Her favorite is big
fellow named Dewey, but she gives
preference to cubs in her work be-
cause they present greater variety
OF poses and afford a better oppor-
tunity for study of action. She
works from memory to a very con-
siderable extent. Moose and elk
take some of her attention, but more
of the studies We're OF lions, cubs at
play, bears, cats and dogs, the latter
including good portraits of "Chicot"
and "WoIfey," of Woodstock. Miss
Pitkin was an exhibitor at the expo
sition at Buffalo last year and at the
Academy OF Design in New York
exhibited a water color, "Lions at
Sunset" which won much praise.
