Several hundred persons attended
the studio tea given Saturday after
noon by the art department of Wash
burn college. The guests were re-
ceived by Mrs. L. d. Whittemore, Mrs.
Katherine Hand, Miss Marie Witwer,
Mr.. and Mrs. George NJ. Stone and
Mr.. Merrel Gage.
A valuable addition to the work
done in the college studio is a collec-
ton of oil paintings loaned by Mr..
Wallace Pettyjohn- He did these
paintings while at Yale. where he was
awarded a trip to Italy as a prize for
mis- superior work. But he was pre-
vented from taking advantage of this
| by the war. In the collection are por-
traits and decorative pictures. Critics
have said that as colorist, Mr.. Petty
john is superior.
At present Mr.. Pettyjohn is In
Honolulu, where he is teaching Eng
/ lish and painting portraits to gain a
trip around the world.
/ Mrs Whittemore displayed inter
esting notebooks which her stu
dents have made in the His
tory of Art class. Altho the
equipment for this work is limited
to hundred volumes, the pupils have
made wonderful progress under Mrs.
| Whittemore's direction, and her class
is popular one.
The department of interior decora-
| ton under Mrs. Katherine Hand ex-
/ hibited home decorated furniture
which was pretty and quite inexpen-
sive. This furniture was enameled N
delicate colors and decorated in con-
ventional designs. 1t would make
ideal furniture for a sun parlor or a
breakfast room. One of the most m
teresting things in the notebooks ot
the students was a four-roomed house
furnished for $3.50. Each pupil had
worked out her own house furnish
ings on this amount and had the pic
