bright, new spring costume. The col
or schemes are rather daring this sea
son but they are pretty, at that, espe-

woman was wearing dress in a very
4 dark blue shade, with a purple cast.
/ Fine lines of alternating red and light
! blue figured the material horizontally.
/ The spring cloak was of cerise corded
velvet. The collar of black velvet was
lined with black and white striped
satin. The hat was wide trimmed
sailor, the top of purple-b straw
with small, bright flowers on the top,
and faced with cerise chiffon to match
/ the cloak.

Mr.. Griffith began his lecture with
d general and brief comparison of
ancient and modern art, and a few
words on the purpose and meaning of

ties were used in brushes. the bristIes
were not stiff enough to carry the OIL
paints.
