COUNTRY CLUB MEETING

The exhibition of water colors repre- senting foreign and domestic schools, which attracted art lovers to the Hill man this week, closed yesterday. The collection was, perhaps, the best ever seen in this city. Gathered from the most distinguished atelers of northern, middle and southern Europe, and from this country, the pictures represented the work of well known water colorists. What is now considered in "commanding vogue" the art school known as the Modern Dutch, the Hollandaise, the French, Italian, Oriental and American were shown with conscientious fidelity.
 Some of the artists whose figure work was shown were Aureli, Moretti, Simon netti, Medina and dozen others repre- senting the Italian school. Among the landscape and marine subjects were col lections by Colby Neil Mitchell, Bacon, ] Burr, P. E. Chlman, w. R. Derrick, k. F. English, Hasbrouel1, Van Wedge. At tracting much attention was the water color work of Car Weber. A dozen otEer artists ranking high in this country and in Europe exhibited landscape and marine work, the entire collection being most noteworthy.
 The strong personality of these several artists revealed itself in many individual subjects Possibly a hundred pictures were on exhibition, some of them valued at 5000 each. There was a large collection not unpacked.
 Attracting much attention was a group of water colors by c. E. Colby, who in many instances chose dreaming roadways with pensve twilights. Dutch interiors, so loved by artists, formed a large part of the exhibition. Scenes on the New England coast showed many charming studies of dawn and twilight successively treated by several American artists.
 Of much interest were the water colors treating of the Orient. Notable among these was The Snake Charmer, by Si- monnett, valued at several thousand.
 Among the brilliant studies were those approaching portraiture in the figures of cardinals.
 Several of the artists whose work was on exhibition were medal and honor win. ners at art exhibitions in Europe and America.
 Among those entertaining at luncheon during the week was Mrs. W. s. Lowell, several guests being invited to meet her sister Miss Margaret Stiles, a very charming young woman. The table was decorated with the enchantress carnations and the lights were shaded with the same artistic colorings.
 The luncheon was informal, but the oc casion was one ow the smartest everits of the week, assembling a congenial party of women.
 The guests were Miss Stiles, Mrs. David Roberts, Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick, Mrs. William Mudd Jordan, Mrs. L. G. Wood son, Miss Hannah Elliott Mrs. Ross .. smith, Mrs. w. F. Greaves. Miss Ethel Armes, Mrs. John M. London, Mrs. Pascal Shook
 At the meeting of the Country club members this evening officers will be elected for the coming year. MT. Erskine Ramsay has been president of the club for the past year. The secretary. MT. Thomas Ward, recently resigned on ac- count of his reno al to New York. and he Was succeeded by MT. Mcdowell. MT. Webb Crawford is vice president. It seems to be an unwritten law in the club that no president shall succeed himself and so admirably have all the elections been conducted that the organization is sin gularly free from the friction some times engendered by hard-contested elections. l The Saturday evening dinner dance has been postponed on account of the business meeting.
 A bridge tournament will be held in | this city some time in June by the mem- bers of Miss Curtis class. MT and Mrs. Lorenzo Clsby of West l Point, Miss, are the guests of Mr and Mrs Mortimer G.
