Mrs, tGenevieve l.. Greaves is one Of the
clever ceramic artists Hi Minneapolis, and
her pretty studio at her home on Bryant
avenue S has been q center for china
painters who liked to gather in the big
room, Uttered, as studios always are, with
interesting bits of bric-a-brac, and chat
of things ceramic over their cups of tea.
Mrs. Greaves has recently sold her home
and the studio gatherings will be trans
ferred to her down town workroom at
GOT First avenue s, in the place former
ly.@ occupied by Miss Beede, where the
Genevieve L. Greaves Art China company
will have its headquarters. Mrs. Greaves
has never been a dilettantee, but she has
entered more into the real working at
mosphere now and has ambitions that
seem sure to be realized.

is brilliant decoration and has received
most hattering comments from the china
painters of the country.
Mrs. Greaves has been a resident Of
Minneap polls for nineteen years and for
merly lived in Pittsburg, Pa She was
fortunate enough to be the daughter Of
wealthy parents, and her artistic train

and Europe. For three months she

studied with Franz Stuck in Munich and
then went to Paris, where Bouguereau,
Dagnan-Bouveret, Albert Aublet and De
Longpre all enrolled her as a pupil. While
with Bouguereau she won the monthly
concours in a class of eighty two. She
took water color work from De Longpre,
who is an acknowledged leader Of water
color work, especially in flowers.
Decorative art was the branch that ap-
pealed to her most and her work was all
along the line Of decorative art. This
has found expression in china decoration
to which she has been faithful for many
years. She took special study in New
York city with G. Philip Smith, and went
to Chicago to learn Of Bischoff, Lichoff
and Aulich. She is rapid as we'll as a.
careful worker and she never allows her
studio to have less than 200 pieces Of her
work. The constant demand for decor
ated china keeps her busy replacing what
has been disposed of.
Keen as she has been to acquire knowl-
edge, Mrs. Greaves Is equally generous
In sharing what she has learned and her
classes have been very large. Her in
tense interest in her work makes her a
successful teacher. In addition to her
class and order work Mrs. Greaves has
found time to exhibit at the different ex-
hibitions and in 1895 she received honor
able mention for portrait shown in
Paris.

ception Monday afternoon at her new

dent will be in communication with all
the world. Not only the wires of the
great telegraph companies will run into
1t, but also those of the oceanic cables.
Finally, between the clerks room and the
great reception room, will be a room for
the press, next to and corresponding in
size to the telegraph room. The news
paper correspondents will be glad to have
quarters which they can call their own on
the premises, inasmuch as hitherto they
have had nothing but table at one end
of the corridor above referred to, the
hospitalities of which they share with
| the oficeseekers and visitors.
The contemplated building being so
simple, its construction will not REQUIRE
more than ninety days, SO that it will ba
ready for occupany in the fall. Mean
while, the business Of remodeling the old
White House will go on. one Of the most
important features Of this work consist
ing in the Strengthening of the edifce,
which is decidedly weak, structurally
speaking. In fact, Colonel Theodore A.
Bingham, who has had charge OF it for
years, says that 1t would soon collapse
If it were used simply as an Office build
ing.
Accordingly, all the floors are to be
strengthened, particularly that portion Of
the second floor which forms the ceiling
of the east room. Solid masonry Is to ba
placed beneath the floor Of the east room
which has to support an immense weigh,
owing to the crowds which assemble in
the historic apartment. And finally tho
magnificent screen, which hitherto has
shut off the great vestibule from the
private part of the mansion, is to be re-
moved, the yestibule being thus converted
into a superb hall Of entrance, and OPEN
ing directly into the parlors and living
rooms of the White House.
The utmost care Is to be taken, how
ever, to introduce no distinctively modern
embellishments, the idea being to mako
everything in harmony with the ideas Of
the day when the White House was built.
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-09-06

with solid centers. The belt Is Of self ma
terial with catstitched edge, and the collar
and cuffs are very beautifully worked in
catstitched self material, the silk thread
being in self tone. Both collar and cuffs
are adorned with narrow band Of lace.
Another catstitched taffeta model shows
the entire waist mass of small tucks.|
The sleeves have a very slight puff over
the shoulder, but are plain and full to
bagginess just below the elbow, coming in
again some little distance above the wrist,
this wrist portion being all traversed with
catstitching The rounding inside collar,
which Is similarly adorned, is edged with
self material, catstitched and fat-braided,
which braiding extends down the entire
front Of the waist.
Liberty satin has been gaining very
much in popular favor of late for waist
purposes. It's softness, pleasant feel"
and comfort have put it in the position
1t now occupies, and is likely to hold for
considerable while. This, well as
taffeta, is greatly to be recommended
to the separate waist girl.
AS great a variety of styles is seen
here as in the taffeta creations. Liberty
being soft and pliable, it admits Of fine
tucking that could not be done in heavy
| satin and thus it Is that many Of these
garments are tucked and similarly
adorned. One very pretty model is in
black liberty, with tucked yoke. The
sleeves full slightly at the shoulders, and

but in wider tucks than those on the
yoke, and a sailor knot stock of selma
terial adorns the neck. The special fea-
ture Of this waist is the white silk en-
broidery in the form of round medallions
and polka dots that adorn it over the lower
bust and relieve the monotony Of the
black.
A rather. novel form Is also Of black
liberty. The entire front of this waist is
adorned with little white silk tassels
caught by miniature motifs also of white
silk. The collar is a stock effect the
ends crossing in front. Just where these
ends cross is an initial worked in white
silk. The initial is supposed to be that
of the wearer.
Motifs, either applied or else worked
in the material, are very much used on
the waists favored for the maiden strictly
up to date. They run the gamut from
cute little round things not more than
an inch in diameter to large medallions,
some of them are four or even five inches
across. They take the form of self ma
terial cat-stttched on of another weave
of silk, or maybe self-rhaterial in another
color or Of lace. In shape they may be
round, square or any other shape the de-
signers fancy dictates.
A lovely motif if-adorned waist is of pale
blue liberty satin. The collar is of self
material In narrow alternate bands Of light
and dark blue, connected by catstitching

Any girl may be pardoned for going into
raptures over the fall silk waists. Such
combinations of soft silk and filrny chiffon;
such beautiful models in rich velvet and
ornate lace; and then for practical wear,
such cute little affairs in taffeta and lib
erty. Nothing like them was ever seen
before.
These last-named two Observation-Disclosures

most popular for general wear. They

The taffeta waist is the old time favor

having as many of these as she can afford
in her wardrobe. One very effective model
is of light blue taffeta, flowing slightly in
front. The sleeves are rather loose, with
a slight putting on the shoulders. The
yoke the front plait and the sleeves just
by the shoulders are finely tucked the

adornment for such a garment while

able substitute.
Peau de sole effects are also shown for
the younger generation, and in these are
adorned similarly to the taffeta and lib

however, are not as cheap as those of the
other two sorts, and the trimmings and
adornments naturally correspond in quail

Nothing could be more simple than the
plan of the building, all of the rooms,
seven only In number, being on one floor
In the basement will be lavatories, ar
rangements FOR heating, and nothing else
except space for fuel. AS for the attic, it
will be nothing more than a ventilation
space, to make the house cooler in sum-
mer. But the structure will be sub
stantial affair, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is designed merely for temporary
use, and will probably be torn down two
or three years hence.
"F'or 100000, which is the amount to be
spent on the building, pretty substantial
structure of that size can be put up. It
will be neatly painted Inside, of course,
but without any attempt at the decora-
tive. The floors will Re of hardwood,
suitably polished, and will be covered
with rugs in preference to carpets, all
arrangements being made with regard to
the temporary character Of the quarters
The furniture, practically all of it, will
be new, only few desks and such things
being brought over from the White
House, and for this purpose $4,000 will
be expended.
"This means that the furniture will be
exceedingly handsome, as becomes the
appurtenances of the presidents business
once; out, unlike the building, 1t Will be
for permanent use, and will be trans
ferred eventually to the large structure
which congress proposes to provide for
the housing of the executive department.
That, of course, Is an enterprise Of the
future, and there Is no telling how long
it will be before the big White House an
mex, expected to cost $2,000,00O or so, will
be start ed.''
The front door of the Little White
House will open directly into a large re-
ception room for visitors. This room will
