When they closed the doors of the
art exhibit at Washburn last evening,
it was with sigh of satisfaction from
those who are managing it. for already
sos people have taken advantage of
the opportunity and have visited Bos-
we'll hall to see the collection of paint
ings from New York, Boston and Phil
ade1phia 1t was a big undertaking
to bring these pictures here and there
were misgivings in the minds of some
of the members of the Art Guild and
the fine arts faculty as to whether it
would be worth it. But the response
the people of Topeka are making to
the exhibit and the way they are COM
I ing out is proof of its success.
1t is like some delightful reception
minus the tea and plus something to
| do besides shake hands to visit the
art exhibit. There is some one to
welcome you at the door and make
| you feel as il you are most welcome
and that the exhibit is for you primar-
| lily. Then there are ever so many
other people you are glad to see and
of course there are the paintings
which take more than one visit to
appreciate.
Last evening Miss Marian Peers and
Mr.. George NJ. Stone talked informal
| ly to the visitors explaining the paint
J ings, and pointing out their good and
bad features. Other Topeka artists
will speak at other times.
| Mrs Julia Farnsworth Soper has her
| collection of curios from foreign coun-
tries on display at Boswell and she
spends three hours every day telling
| about her treasures.
People all over Topeka seem to feel
/ that Boswell is treasure house these
days and that here their rarest pos
sessions will find appreciation. Each
day some one adds some beautiful
| thing to the collection pair of can
dlesticks. two lovely miniatures, a
Cloisonne vase, etc. Boswell is the
center of art and society for Topeka
| these days.
