at which the display was entirely OF
Mrs. Berneys paintings.
The exhibit will continue ten days,
and IN that time society in New York
will be given an opportunity TO view the
remarkable work of the Washington

Mrs. Barney's tendencies are rather
toward the impressionistic style, al
though she is fine portrait painter,
and within the maze OF her creations
the likeness of her subject is always
pronounced
One of the striking features Of the
exhibit IS a portrait OF Mrs. Nicholas
LongWOrth, which is labeled princess
Alice and shows the former Presi-
dent 5 eldest daughter in one of her
happiest moods. 1t is a profile likeness
Another portrait is that of the Baroness
Hengelmuller, wife of the Austrian am
bassador, while still another striking
picture is that of the Countess Of SUI
folk, formerly Miss Daisy Letter. The
majority of her subjects are women
although the male sex has not 5een
