Many parts Of the globe contributed to
the corner Of the hall devoted to the loan
collection arranged by Miss Winslow and
Mr.. Rogers. A large show case con-
tanned an exhibit of twenty or more of
the baskets made by Mr.. Dan Winslow,

wall was covered with drsperies,- one, q |
Persian hanging belonging to Mrs.. Par

Mrs. Lyon, while fine bit of color was
added by Mandarin coat from Mrs. |

This corner held also interesting and |
curious antiques. From . series of
shelves a number of bronze Buddhas,

One of the most interesting objects, lent
