NORTH SHORE RECEPTION. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierre Tartoue entertained Informally Monday
afternoon at the Helorge, North Shore, North
port the summer home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. T. George Dodworth of New York.
The younger guests played tennis on fine
court near the shore and were in the excite
ment of the finals when the shower called a
halt. The other guests were entertained on
the porch. and particularly enjoyed looking
over the portrait album of M. Tartoue, the
gifted young French artist. 1t was a coinci-
dence that his latest work. the life-sized por-
traits of Eleanor and Adelaide, little daugh-
ters of Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Close of New
York, was exhibited that afternoon for the
first time at their summer home in Greenwich,
Conn.,, at garden fete in honor of the chill
dren's birthdays. The little girls in pink chif-
fon with dainty rose bud trimmings are seated
on the ground at their summer home. One is
hugging her pet bunny and the other holds a
bunch of wild flowers. while their pet poodle is
in the foreground. Nearly all the reproduc-
tions in the album are in sepia, including an
other of the Close children, and few are in
colors. While the portrait of Cardinal Farley
is regarded as the young artists masterpiece,
and is valued at $50, ,O00 some of the less elabo-
rate are most fascinating particularly those of
the two daughters of Ex-U S. Senator VIM A.
Clark of Montana. M. Tartoue Is particularly
successful in his likenesses, and no greater
compliment could be paid an artist than the
words of son as he looked for the first time
on the portrait Of his mother, a lady of 76
years: Don't touch it again; that is my moth
er." 1t is hoped that opportunity may be
given Belfast art lovers to inspect these por-
traits. Refreshments were served from tables
on the porch decorated with lace ferns and
bouquets of golden rod. Mrs. Dodworth and
her daughter were assisted by the gentlemen
in serving harlequin creams, assorted cake
confectionery and fruit punch. The guests
