/ on the landing of the stairs. The club
gives an annual exhibit of china paint
| ing, and this year, the party for the
! benefit of the Lincoln Memorial fund,
| is taking the place of the regular ex-
| hibft The new pieces of china that
/ have been done by the club mem bers
during the year, are being shown at
] the party. Some changes in styles of
decorations that are coming promi-
nently into notice in the east, Will
make the present exhibit unusually
interesting, though it is not so large
as is ordinarily given by the club.
A subject of interest at the party
today is found in a gown worn by Miss
Marie Witwer. The costume is one of
the modish hand painted dresses, such
as are attracting much attention in
| New York and San Francisco. Miss
Witwer's gown is of apricot shade and
is fashioned of imperishable wolfe COM
| bined with lovely thread lace The
painting on the gown is a border de-
sign of basket of fruit. The decora-
ton is an original design by Miss Wit
wer. The costume is really the last
word in sartorial decoration. A cloak
worn with the gown is of lavender
/ imperishable wolfe, made over pussy
willow taffeta. and hand painted in an
original design.
