art. She emphasized the art value
Of the faces and glass that made the
city famous in the commercial world.

As one of the club members pointed
aut, there WAS but one fault with Miss
Williams in the role Of gondoler
and that was that she made the gon-
dola trip too short.

their distinctive characteristics were
the theme of the address, which was
charming because of the speakers in
sight into art matters and her direct
manner of presenting the subject.
