 I observed.
 "Oh, no' said Montgomery T paint and draw in every medium in char coal pencil, pen and ink; paint in oil. water colors and pastel. l like them all. There are some things I could not express with anything but oil paints and then again there are subjects that could only mean water co1ors"
 And the illustrations" I asked.
 Recently I have been very much in- terested in Pictorial Advertisement" said she Seeing the need of some good picture work in the advertise ments of our growing city, as Birming-
 ham is getting to be quite a manufac- turing center, there is an oportunity for home talent instead of sending to New
 York and other places for artists to do this work. When I was in New York
 this summer I studied the subject, vis-
 tied studios of advertising artists, enc gravers, publishers, etc, to learn. tho details of reproducing pictures, and what mediums would reproduce best and with the least expense. The subject is so big I hardly know where to begin or where to leave off once I commence talk ing
 MISS DRYERS STUDIES IN PARIS It was such temptation, couldn't resist asking Miss Dryer to tell mo about the two past winters she spent in Paris, where she had such splendid advantages and In her modest, reserved way she said:
 "Of course 1t was very unusual opportunity--two long. delightful win ters In that wonderful place. I'm not | sure but that the seeing of what oth- CTS have done and are doing Is the | best part of ones schooling. These things tell you what to do as we'll c. rhct nf tn dn to be ample room for every branch of
 every art to thrive and flourish and
 assure you they all do even the Fu- l turists and Cubists.'
 Where did you study while thereT'
 questioned.
 | "At the Academic de la Grand-chau-
 miese,' with Castelucho, a charming painter.
 "Loise and Le and I also worked
 with Generins at the Academic Mod-
 ern. These studios were filled with
 American and English students with a generous sprinkling of Germans, Nor wegians, Roumanians, Swiss, etc. All
 more or less interesting personalities,
 and for while we had the distinction
 of working by the side of two prin-
 cesses. The pleasure. however, was not
 unmitigated for one of them smoked cigarettes and was as unattractive as possible. Our home life was unevent- ful but very delightful. Miss McLough-
 lin and lived in our studio and pres pared our own meals. Our widest dis sipation was grand opera, or a meal
 at the American Girls club, or Hen-
 rietta's cafe. much frequented by tho
 students in the quarter. Speaking cf
 the quarter, 1t is the very most de- l lightful part of the huge city. So
 much Is done for the students--of
 course. we all know what Mrs. White 1.r T-td f4r tl.2 Axxxzr r1.a~ ~frI- who are studying there.
 | 'Wanamaker does the same for the Eien, furnishing charming club rooms, where they hold annual exhibitions. W hen one goes to Paris, if one be in- terested in student life, be sure and call at Rue Pierre Nicole. and you will find the cosiest of rooms, and the warmest welcome and charming IT, brary, and about the best cup of tea you ever tasted. And while you par
 take of this hospitality the students will drop in and you will hear such | Interesting bits of gossip-the various exhibitions that are on and the latest
 move of the suffragists.'
 | And are the students really such
 hcathens as we hear they are?" I asked with an apology.
 Indeed. nor said Miss Dryer. nor
 would you think so if you would just step in eyitti's' to one of the Sunday
 evening services. Yitti's is huge stu dio where these services are held every Sunday night. There is regular minister and he and his wife are known and loved by hundreds of stu dents. The services are delightful. Imagine an audience of 800 or GOO and fully half of them voice students sing ing familiar hymns. Then there are ai-
