Every afternoon and evening
throng of fashionably dressed people
has been seen at the Fairmont where
the greatest interest is being taken in
the exhibition of drawings with which
Miss Lille Lawlor has favored her
friends. The collection, which is an
unusually fine one, includes originals of
many of the best known artists-Wat-
teau, Monticello, Boulanger, Rosa Bon
heur, Puvis de Chevannes, Meissonier
and others. Miss Lawlor's many
friends have given to the Fairmont
each day the appearance of an after
noon tea and it is to be regretted that
their clever and talented owner will
soon take away these treasures of art.

this week are Mr.. and Mrs Fred Sha-
ron, Judge and Mrs. Ralph Harrison,
Mrs. Charles o. Alexander, Mr.. and Mrs.
