lection of seven of his pictures out. OF
nineteen from Indiana for the gener-

Exposition.
The Sketch Club had on its year
program an exhibition of paintings
on ivory and art glass for its April
exhibit, but gave, instead, the public
meet last week with talk by Frank
Bowers on "Cartoons and Cartoon
ists,' which was the first thing of
the sort that has ever been given
here, because this entertainment
should not be confused with what are
called "chalk talks,'' the latter being
an inferior form of illustrated lecture
|or more appropriately termed "talk. "
The writer, as secretary of the club,
secured an interesting exhibition OF
favrile glass and windows from Tiff
fanv's but this has been turned over
| to Mrs. Lewis D. Stubs, President OF
the Club, for inclusion in her ceramic
exhibit in June. If the exhibit had
been given in place Of the talk, many
beautiful miniatures-thO done on
ivory would have been displayed as
a large number from various quarters
had been secured. The club was also
as previously stated here offered the
exhibit of water colors by Nakakawa,
the Japanese artist, and several por-
praits by Walter Gilman Page, the
we'll known portraitist, for exhibit IN
April but on account of its other en-
gagement. could not take advantage
of these generous profferings.
Early in the season this column
called attention TO a small exhibition
of pictures of cowboys and Indians
