of New York and other cities we note the
wonderful Improvement in the work OF

achievement OF all the institutions in this

humanity none has done more than the
School of Design for Women. Its great OBJ

cultivate the artistic talent in women who
otherwise might remain i'm obscurity. y

the profession OF portrait or landscape
nainting. etc, are graduates of this institu-
,ion. many having already distinguished
themselves.
