y brilliant throng OF handsomely
.o"ned women filled the pa rlors Of the
WomaD's Club yesterday afternoon to
near Nrs. George J. Bulls address, on
Artists Have known" Hut recently
:eturncd from residence OF seventeen
Years In Paris. where her home was the
center and meeting place for some OF
The most distinguished artists Of the
PRESENT day. Mrs. Eulrs lecture was re-
net" with charm ana interest. IT was
Hn Old World spell that she wrought
tbont her audience. the same lure that
AS drawn us in past tranquil years to
10" great French capital. and her hear
cis we're most enthusiastic In their re-
t.ptiOm OF the speaker
Mrs Bull. and her late DISTINGUISHED
husband, DR.. Bull. were known as the
lg!ends OF the artist not more so to the
aucccssful. renowned painter than to
the poor, struggling student of tho
Latin Quarter. and their doors were
ever open to these children OF genius
Inc artists mentioned In the lecture
yesterday were names 10 conjure with.
All OF the intimate. delightful anec-
dotes related We're charming personal
experiences Of the gracious woman who
made them. and enchanting bits OF com
nent concerning their masterpieces lent
an added touch TO the whole narrative.
with subtle and delicate humor, Mrs
B4l! skctchcd the trials and aspirations
o. The painters aud would be painters
who journey to France seeking their
fame and fortune. She described most
interestingly her visits 10 the studios of
wel!-known artists of the day. picturing
the atmosphere and spirit OF them in
graphic fashion. Those gatherings in
Mrs Bulls own drawing-room, hung
with many wonderful pictures. the gifts
o. prominent artists 10 their hosts, we're
lightly touched upon.
Mrs Bull paid compliment TO the
work Of Miss Nora Houston n Rich
mond artist OF no small note, and spoke
OF the favorable criticism that her
| paintings had received in Paris as we'll
as the constructive work that she is
doing here in the Art Club of Rich
mond. The speaker stated frankly that
the student interested her really more
than the successful artist since the for
ner is so fun OF dreams and Illusions
and hopes yet untrjed. She spoke OF
the utter lack OF anything like jealousy
existing between the painters and stu.
dents and the gay, debonnair spirit of
comradeship that one finds, not only in
their work. but in all phases Of their
daily life.
In conclusion, Mrs. Bull told a pathet-
ic little story OF the old old artist, ever
striving to paint his great picture,
dreaming and hoping always, with the
time ever growing shorter and the fin
gers less cunning. Forced to respond
with an encore, Mrs. Bull told some
most amusing anecdotes OF her own
South Carolina nanny" in Paris. Mrs
4. Arthur Lcfroy. president OF the club,
introduced Mrs. Bull.
