The speeding-up process seemed
more effective today. The President

ZINE PORTRAIT. EXHIBIT.

The first purely portrait exhibit in
the new Museum Galleries was opened
Tuesday, Museum Night 1t was by
John Young Hunter, a British artist,
who makes his home in Taos, but
came down for the opening of the ex-
hibit The display is a most attrac-
tive one and joy of every visitor.
As portrait painter of the classic
school, Mr.. Young Hunter has no
superior, 3 it seems, among the many
artists now in the west. There Is a
character and finish to his art which
make the portraits, all of them large,
very lovely. The portrait of the mother
of Frank Lloyd Wright, the noted Chi
cago artist, is that of an elderly lady
with white lacecap and collar and with
white chiffon in the loose sleeves of
her purple gown. A Paisley shawl has
fallen from her shoulders as she sits
on yellow couch with yellow pillows.
Here is a truly beautiful face and the
light that falls upon her from lat
ticed window on the side brings into
high relief the delicately modelled and
vet, strong hands. The portrait of
Mrs. Churchill, Of Cincinnati one of
the society leaders of the Queen City
on the Ohio, is also very charming and
fully as successful. The face Is of a
piquant type and rather unusual in It's
beauty. The young matron is in even
| ing gown, sitting at "a small stand upon
which she props here elbows and holds
her finely chiseieu hands against the
right side of her face. A corsage
boquet gives touch of color to the
handsome, lacy white gown. The por-
traits of the men--the Duke of Ergyie
and of prominent Minneapolis citizen
arc full of character and strong.
