manager, the Exchange will continue it's splendid work as one of the most beneh- cent institutions In Birmingham. Miss Walters fine executive ability and her long experience with the work has put the Exchange on a business basis that makes 1t not only self-supporting, but as a means of assistance to hundreds of women who are forced to earn their own livelihood.
 No one can possibly be In ignorance of the real mission of the Woman's Ex- change, what it has become to many wo- men who find there a market for their breads and cakes and their needlework- It enables them at once to be self-support ing, and reaches the class of gentlewomen who are dependent upon their own work for support. The report of the treasurer shows the success of the Exchange.
 To many people, the Woman's Ex- chsnge means Miss Walters. She Is such a large part of the Exchange that she is in popular parlance the whole thing" Her duties are very great as the cafe feature alone requires daily thought and some few thousand steps. Arranging de- licious menus is a serious undertaking. especially when there are several other departments of the Exchange that de- mand Miss Walters constant supervision.

News Of Artists
 And Their Work.

A meeting will be held some time In January of the artists who have their studios in the Watts building for the purpose of arranging for some talks on art by Mrs. Mrs. Robert Cunningham. These talks will be given in one of the great studios and will be of interest and value. The subjects will be announced af- ter the arrangements.
 It is thought that more frequent talks on art will create a greater amount of interest and the promoters are very an- xious to have at least one or two art lectures within the next few weeks.
 The January classes In the studios are large and enthusiastic. The Keromac studios are gradually recovering, from the effects of the holidays when they were almost depleted by collections and people
 with an appreciation of beautiful porce-
 lains. The life classes in Miss Smiths
 studio and in Miss Rumphs have been doing some very fine work.
 Miss Rumph will begin possibly this
 week some talks on art to her classes.
 Mrs. Roulston was absent from her studio for two days, but her studio was open to her classes on Friday Among some of her recent work is a large placque, decorated with pink roses It is
 
 its exquisite glaze.
 Miss Douglas is now ensconced in the studio which was occupied for seven
 months by Mrs Morgan. and is very busy with her water color work.
 It will be of interest to art circles to
 know that General Palmer of Colorado Springs and Mrs. Bellomy Storer, the founder of the Rookwood Pottery have formed a plan to utilize the clays. min erals and gems of Colorado and to make Colorado Springs a manufacturing centre for arts and crafts of an Oriental type. The Keramic Studio calls attention to an exhibition in New York of ceramic art which has caused considerable interest in the products of the
 Royal Berlin Porcelain Works. The
 specimens are in the majority reproduce | tions of the original vases and other articles which have been presented by
 the kaiser and kaiserin to distinguished
 men in their military and diplomatic | service, and friends of the royalty. The porcelain factory in Berlin was founded in 175O by Wegely. In 176S the establishment was bought by Frederick the Great, and later passed as an estate into the royal possession. To reach the pinnacle of perfection in Ceramic art the kaiser has paid, considerable atten- tion anad unlimited money.
 In view of the remarkable success MT.
 Conried has had with his production of | "Parsifal," at the Metropolitan Opera house, 1t will interest the art set to know that there will be held at the Knoedier | gallery. an exhibition of paintings by Marcius Simmons, an American painter, who has resided long in Paris and whose notions of color are quite unusual of some scenes from the story of Wagners I last opera. There are some eight of them
 and, 1t is said. they follow fairly closely l the drama as produced at Bayreuth.
