 another are studies made last season in l Cincinnati One of these. which is es- i pecially interesting, portrays a patient, | sombre woman, whose serious eyes and | lined face almost tell the story that its l painter knows-that of circus rider who | has grown too old for the life on the 1 tracks and is eSing out an existence as | an artists model There is young girl | bright-faced and jaYous. and miniature of Mrs. John E.

 which is the work of the local artists, | augmented by some outside exhibitors. | Mrs. Raulstons work was sought out | yesterday and every piece examined and admired. Always showing the greatest | individuality, her bits of china have
 never before shown such perfection of | technique. A Satsuma fruit bowl which | was her latest work sold before it had
 been on exhibition more than a few hours, and was so lovely that the tag | Sold was a disappointment to other | admirers. Cups and saucers in the Dres- l den design, vases in conventional and | natural designs, plates, creams and
 sugars were among the treasures which
 she showed. Miss Glenne Moseley's china was the loveliest that she has ever
 shown. A superb tankard, pitcher,
 nut bowl in conventional design and a cream and sugar set done in conven- tional design of green and gold were among the most effective pieces that she | exhibited Mrs. l.. P. Andrews, who is
 remarkably talented, showed two of the 1 loveliest pieces of china in the exhibition, | a tankard in conventional motif, which
 was her own composition, and a vase decorated with full blown yellow roses,
 which won a blue ribbon at the state fair | in the autumn.
 | Mrs. Luke contributed two fine exam | ples of bas relief, Miss Dorothy Orr a nymph in plasterine and Mrs. Mount | fort a bas relief, introducing another phase of art work which was noted with | pleasant interest.
