At the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Hofer last evening a number
of friends enjoyed the privilege of
viewing a collection of Japanese pho
tographs and rare prints gathered by
Judge Helmas W. Thompson, of Eu-
gene, in his recent visit to that
country.
There we're over one hundred large
colored photographs and many prints
from engravings of the most eminent
Japanese artists of both the ancient
and modern schools. Some of the
former are century old and the pa
per is soft as cloth from handling
through the many years.
Professor Schriber, with his won
derful artists instinct, gave i'm
promptu talks upon many of the
prints revealing points of beauty
which would otherwise have re-
mained unknown.
Mrs. Mac K Hofer's splendid voice
added much to the pleasure of the
evening, She was generous with her
songs including a number of Italian
operate airs. A fitting close to the
evenings enjoyment was the serving
