In his annual report. He says:
,"As q result Of the increased prosperi-

furnished. the provision Of bedding Is
more satisfactory, and the children are
better clothed. with better financial
conditions many Of the homes I almost
despaired Of. have become improved
almost beyond belief, which goes to
prove very emphatically that If we
want to eliminate the slum type Of hui
man being and Stun type Of home the
surest, and quickest way Is to give the
workman good living wage.

Warren had not told them. Having

he glowered darkly at Helen's glib ex.

NORWICH ART SCHOOL
 STUDENTS HOLD EXHIBITION,
Jewelry, Metal Work and Pottery Are
 Shown at Converse Hall.

The students of the Norwich Art school are holding this week and next an exhibition Of arts and crafts work in lower Converse hall. The display is unusually large and attractive ard well worth a visit and close inspection. There are very lovely bits of jewelry and metal work as well as quantity of fine pottery and leather work. One of the pieces most remarked upon was a beautifully executed tea ball in the shape of a miniature tea kettle by Miss Faith Caruthers. It was quite unique and charming to look upon. Another very handsome and noticeable piece of work by Miss Caruthers was 8 silver necklace and pendant slightly Assyrinn In type, and set with brilliantly fpceted stones. Miss Louise Avery has a very effective bright silver chain with tour maline pendant, and Miss Wattles an amethyst pendant with oxidized silver chain. Miss Loring exhibited a hand some amethyst and silver harpin, Miss Edna Herbert a pair of beauty pins, Miss Matilda Allen, silver salt dishes, and Miss Della St. John, silver salt spoons and lemon fork. There were very attractive stickpins, rings, hat pins and cuff links, also a number of necklaces and pendants, some simple and others of nor eelaborate design. Miss Florence Smith showed a silver huff chain set with various stones. There were also leather coin purses and card cases and a variety of Christ mas and place cards and tiny candy baskets. Miss Isabel Racheler Miss Edna Herbert. Miss Margaretta John son and Miss Bernice Burnham being represented in this list
 The pottery exhibit was very com plete and interesting. Graceful bowls and vases, jars and odd pieces gave a very colorful effect to the hall. Miss Rose Trumbul1 had a great x many pieces of various shapes and co1ors; amber and black, turquoise and umber, turquoise and smoke, dull rose, burnt orange, each lent it's vivid hue.
 Mrs. Hempstead had some clear tur- quoise blue bowls and vases displayed, and Miss Elizabeth Huntington ex- hib;ted bowls and holders, buckles and hat ornaments.
 Mrs. John Huntington had a very attractive cereal set, Miss Nancy Lucas a hanging basket of blue mat glaze, Miss Loring tall blue vases, Miss Mar garetta Johnson 8 1ustre bowl and Mrs. Hampstead one Of the same type. There were tables of miscellaneous pottery and stunning bowl of ham, mered copper.
 The hall was most effectively dec orated by Miss Lofing with bayberry, blttersweet, dried grasses, sumach and heinlock, and the whole exhibition seemed to glow with color. 4 great many people took advantage of the early opportunity of viewing it.
 Tea was served by Miss Marshall and Miss Lucas, assisted by Miss Elsie Graham and Miss Abby Gallup. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Watrous for the progress shown in this department of the art school and the finish and beauty attained under her instruction.
