in teaching art in Honolulu, so he
gave his scholarship to a Yale student
of sculpture who would otherwise
have no opportunity for foreign
study.
In Honoiulu Mr.. Pettyjohn made
some magazine cover designs for the
leading magazine published in the Is
lands. The original paintings from
which these designs were taken, were
shown at the informal review of the
pictures of the young artist last night,
The first OF the series was a painting
showing "a snow capped mountain
overlooking a woodland and noun
tain lake, and in the foreground
clothing. Another picture showed a
mountain background md in the fore

girl with her guitar beneath great

it actually is in the islands. One of
the attractive pictures was that of a
native girl dancing in the space in
front of hut, in the moonlight The
ceIoring and lighting effects in this
picture were particularly effective.
The picture best liked by last
nights spectators was a portrait of
an Hawaiian girl, simply gowned in
white satin, and wearing the native
face of the girl was exceedingly pretty,
and expressive. The young women
who posed for Mr.. Pettyjohn were the
daughters of well-to-do native fam
lilies, and girls of beauty and culture.
The flesh tints that Mr.. Pettyjohn has
been able to reproduce in his portraits
are pronounced by artists to be exc
ceptionally well achieved.
