ed from France, has some very dram
attic sketches of what she saw in No
Mans Land, and while most of them
are black and whites and charcoal
drawings, a little touch of tint here
and there adds nice quality to draw
ings that tell their own story without
any excess of line or shade.''
The Court of Errors and Appeals
handed down decisions in a number of
cases yesterday. Among them was
one upholding the decision of the Su-
preme Court setting aside the local op-
ton election held in Northampton
township in 1918. The principal reasI.
on for setting aside the election was in
of the public notice given
relative to the hearing of the applica-
tion before the township committee.
The Palmyra election, held during the
same year, which was set aside by the
Supreme Court, was also held to be in
valid because of failure to comply
with the terms of the soldiers voting
act. In both townships the ''drys"
had won by small malorities.
