INTEREST IN
MISS HILLS PAINTINGS

Miss Carrie Hills exhibition of paint
ings done around Birmingham is attract
ing the interest of art lovers generally.
The exhibition has a place commercially
in the minds of business men and num-
ber of them have been among her callers
in her studio in the Hood building since
its opening Monday morning. Mrs. c.
p Orr and the other members of the
womens committee of the Chamber of
Commerce are asking the business men to
call and see Miss Hills latest work be-
cause of its bearing on the work of the
commercial body, that of boosting Bir-
mingham." Mrs. Orr said yesterday:
Birmingham already has reputation
industrially: it is the artistic side which
now so needs development. This thought
was expressed in a meeting of the wom-
ans committee a year ago. when the
local artists We're asked to spend as
much of their time as possible in pre-
senting the various aspects of Birmng-
ham the beautiful. Miss Hill has made 1t
her work this year, and her studio is
hung with canvasses telling more plainly
than words how many and how varied
are the beauties of Birmingham en-
virons. The members of my committee
are thus asking the interest of their
friends in Miss Hills work. We feel that
they are fortunate in being able to see 1t.
The exhibition CONTINUES the remainder
of the week"
Several of Miss Hills paintings have
been sold since the opening of her exhi-
bition, gratifying fact to the artist,
since 1t is the best evidence of apprecia-
ton Among the paintings which she las
oatalogued. and which have been especial
ly admired, are: Village Creek in Decem-
ber," pines Near Osceola," Road to
Old Reservoir" 'Twenty-first Street,
North" Looking Toward Fountain
Heights" pink Dogwood in Idlewld,"
Sycamore on Village Creek" early

| The great prominence in literature of
her son-in-law has made the name of
Mary Wollstonecraft familiar to all those

Percy Bysshe Shelley. Mrs. wollstone-
craft was the mother of Mary Shelley,

childhood and girlhood had been unhap-

ashamed to let her love be known in
gentlest and most sympathetic words
There is a sweetness and a true clang
to all her letters, whether she was happy
or in mood when she doubted his sin
cerity for the moment. A typical love
letter is the following:
