.raniums and grapes BY Miss Grace

the Missouri river taken from the
studio window by the graduates deserves
special mention. So perfect were they
that the beauty Of those scenes must
have been an added inspiration to
these pupils. Miss Mary Van Trump
showedla large head In oil, (which was
excellent.
In water colors Mrs. John Sturgis
and Mrs. James Hays had fine
displays, and Misses Eloise Ruttledge
and Irene Stramcke manifested great
skill, indeed their work would be a
credit to any artist.
Throughout the afternoon groups Of
admirers were gathered about the
large China display. Miss Walters
fernery ard tea set decorated so
beautifully. Miss Jane Calloway's
tankard in naturalIstic grapes with
the toast "Here is health, to all who
need it," worked in brown around the
top and a number OF pieces in con-
ventional and naturalistic design were
especially noticed, while the jardiniere
by Mrs. Sturgls was one of the
handsomest pieces In the whole
collection and called forth maay
expressions of appreciation. Stems,
fraternity stems, were included in the
list all showing the same originality in
design and skill in exection.
But space will not allow more
detailed account of this delightful
feature of the commencement season.
Suffice 1t to say that the exhibit could
not have been improved upon. Miss
Lambert has every reason to be proud
of the work of her pupils and Central
College every reason to rejoice that the
services Of so proficient teacher have
been re-engaged for another year.
