The Art Program of the club year
was very appropriately given at
Whitworth College last Saturday af-
ternoon and with Miss Boykin, di-
rector of the art department, and
Mrs. Mccormick, of artistic tempera-
ment, as hostesses.
Mrs. Parsons opened the after
moons program with "The Night
ingale and the Rose she has helped
to make popular and was followed by
Mrs. Cooper who Interestingly talked
about Interior Decoration, many of
our keepers of beautiful Brookhaven
homes listening with appreciation
to the "good art" in furnishings as
eXpounded by the speaker.
Again Mrs. Parsons voice was
heard in a trio with the Misses Har-
ris which was succeeded by "Ameri-
can Painters" who had an able ex-
ponent in Miss Mary M. Hobbs. Copies
of beautiful pictures were exhibited
and great interest was manifested in
Americas splendid contribution to
art and in the artists whose names
and personalities were brought be-
fore the club with the work of their
hands. By invitation Miss Hobbs
repeated her program number before
the student body of Whitworth Col
lege yesterday morning.
Miss Edith Willis, with her teach
er, Mrs. Willoughby, at the piano,
gave two vocal selections that were
well received
Miss Boykin then impressively
spoke on Art in the Home press
ing strongly the influence of music,
art and literature on the minds of
the household.
Miss Boykin had beautifully ar
ranged corners" in art in the spa
cious apartments of the Y-Hut where
the meeting was held and the club
enjoyed copies of the greatest artists
of the world shown by young art
students Of the College who intelli-
gently answered all questions pro-
pounded by the visitors.
The meeting was pronounced by
the president, Mrs. W. H. Frizell, one
of the most profitable Of the year
and regret was expressed that every
member was not present not only to
enjoy the program and hospitality
of the hostesses but to answer roll
call with their favorite painters and
their pictures. Some one naively re-
marked my favorite American
painters are the girls"
Miss Boykin, who is also a member
of the faculty of the Copiah-Lincoln

that that institution belongs to Lin
coin county in part. She requested

pressed pleasure in their readiness tc
unite with Copiah in assisting the A
