Josephine Gloetzner. That Of Claudia
Reid, grandchild Of the late Senator
Money. is perhaps the most beautiful
OF her recent work. The little girl is
seated in an old fashioned high back
chair against which her head stands
out in bold relief. The only color note
is given by the pink ribbon bow on the

and Crafts Studio, on 18th street. There
are many lovely pieces of jewelry by
Mrs. Knapp, one OF New YORK 8 finest
metal workers.

TN the Moore gallery, on 18th street is
a portrait painted by the late Frank
Fowler, of such great excellence that
no one studying portraiture should fail
to SEQ it, Granted that Secretary Nc
Adoo is an unusually fine subject, still
the technical and psychic qualities are
