She, SO they said, was a perfect
scream with a big long wart stuck on
her face. One of the men wore a good
| silk hat and the bunch didn't think it
| tacky enough so they punched out the
| crown. But if I keep on talking the
| party won't be as eggclusive as it was
before, So FRANCES.
Miss Helen Yoder, who is spending
the winter in Los Angeles has written
! and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. H. d. Yoder,
telling them of an art exhibit being
shown in an art store in Los Angeles,
(which is from Mcpherson, Kan. The
pictures are owned by a Mr.. Smalley
of Mcpherson.
| A part of the letter is as follows:
"a very interesting thing happened last
week. You remember Chaffie's art
store; well they are having a. very fine
Exhibition of prints and etchings, and
I went in to see them. Guess where
lthey were from-McPherson, Kan.
This is said to be the largest art col
Election west of Chicago. He has one
Whistler, little beauty, worth $4,000;
lquite a few Rembrandts, a Rodin, Mil
Ilet, Bellows, Tobinghy, a really marvel
Gus and most interesting assortment
He also has five original drawings by
Hanson. He was very nice to me and
then when he found out I was from
| Topeka, he simply chuckled, and re-
marked that the most appreciative
visitors they had had SO far had been
from Kansas and Missouri. He knew
Mrs. L. d. Whittemore, there at Wash
burn. He is going direct frim here to
/ Kansas City. While I was there a
tacky looking Los Angeles girl came
lin and while talking to him asked
where the exhibit came from and when
he told her, she replied. Well. I didn't
think Kansas was much of an art cen
iter,' and for once wanted to fight for
the old state. Imagine such remark
to a Kansan. Tactful, wasn't she?
