Miss Grace McKinstry of Minneapo-

kin Art club yesterday morning, Civ
ing an interesting talk concerning the
state art commission of Minnesota, OF
which she is a member. This COM
mission was organized through the ef-
forts Of the club women of the state

the matters concerning architecture
statuary and so forth which must be
decided by and for the state officials
Miss McKinstry has been in Los An
geles for some time painting portrait
of Mrs. w. S. Benton. formerly OF
Minneapolis, and now living here ir

Mimi, has led the trustees of that
school to desire her portrait to adorr
the walls of the hall. The painting

noted portrait painters of the middle

buildings of the northern state. She
has been making some sketches OF

lighted me so much as this soft Call

said the artist in discussing her work
yesterday, "and find it delightful tc
have these quaint picturesque charac-
ters for my out of door work"
Miss McKinstry has painted ir

point as arc the little ones of the Older
Spain.
