Of Mrs. Homer Williams and her age
was given as SIS. To this statement
our good and venerable friend takes
exception and says that if her name
and age are to be used that they must
be correct and says that she is 81
years old and not SIS. She also adds
that out of that 81 years 81 have been
spent in Dorset and she is not tired Of
it yet, "only the big taxesw That is
the sort Of interest for one to keep in |
life. May we all when we reach that
age and have lived for over three gen

Herbert Meyer Of New York City,
who has rented the Crane Studio on
the West Road for the past two sea-
sons, has exhibited to his friends a
group of Dorset water colors that
have been Of great interest. All ar
lists who have come to our village
have been enthusiastic about the COM
positional beauty Of the country, but in
these vigorous little studies Mr.. Meyer
has especially stressed the interplay
of light and color on our hillsides.
They are done in happy mood and
capture the vividness Of Dorset. Mr..
Meyer expects to use these paintings
as basis for the decorative work in
which he specializes. At his New
York exhibition last March his use Of
our Vermont mountains was much adj
mired. We hope to have Mr.. Meyer
with US another season and appreci-
ate his delight in our valley.
