Foulke's absence from the city much of
the time the duties Of the presidency even
then fell largely on Mrs. Johnston. The

worker by contributing to the Chautauquan,
one of the widely read magazines, an article
on the Richmond art exhibit, illustrated
with views taken at her suggestion. The
article was widely read and attracted much
attention, giving the city of Richmond much
celebrity as an art center.
