it such as silversmithing, metal jewelry
painted porcelain. moulding in clay and
other lines of work aside from the pic
lures. The secretary, Mrs. ]. G. Green

of bringing them together at this meet
ing and securing an exhibit from each
one. The usual social features VIII pre-

dancers will appear.
