Take Dorothy Ochtman's. The
Tang Jar" with which we are all
more or less familiar from seeing ID
in the Corcoran Gallery. and which
did hang here in the Arts Club for
some time. multiply 1t a thousand
fold, and you have some idea of the
brilliance and Chinese spirit of the
exhibition Of Mrs. NJ. B. Shockley's
panels in oil, now going on at the
Arts Club. in the second-fioor front
parlor. 1t has been many a day
since INhave seen anything so vivid.
yet without offending good taste.
The whole exhibition Is a unit, and
all of it Is charming.
The exhibition opened with a tea
at o'clock Friday afternoon, at
which there were many artists and
persons of note present. All Thurs
day afternoon and Friday morning.
Mrs Shockley worked at getting
this material in order. The arrange
ment of the pictures and the hang
ings Is all her own, and is conced-
ed by all to be harmonious and ar
tistic.
scarfs Set on Work.
The handsome Chinese scarfs and
table covers serve well to set off
this work. The artist, it Is said,
has many other beautiful and val
liable pieces of Chinese tapestry, Of
which she chose the few most suit
able ones for this exhibit.
In the hall is a strange figured
robe, spread out to it's full extent,
which is said to have been presented
to a certain Chinese gentlemen on
the occasion of his 60th birthday.
1t Is of red material, with symbols
or figures in a gray-white. On FRI
day afternoon Mrs. ShOckley dis
played also a priests robe which
was pronounced to be wonderful.
There is an old Chinese tapestry
on the wall that is said to be more
than 200 years old. 1t is wonderful
ly well-preserved. and might have
been made last year, for all the
signs of wear 1t shows. The en-
broidered figures are very fine. Mrs.
Shockley has many other wonderful
embroidered tapestries.
Four of these panels are loans,
and the rest are for sale. Mrs. Her
bert Hoover has loaned a fire screen.
Mrs. Nalbro BARLEY. THE Mari
gold" and sColor Debauch." and
Harold A. Titcomb california wild
+ lowers" Two or three of these
have been sold already. one of
which. "Apricots." received a great
deal of praise. This is one of the
quietest of pictures, but the three
shades of apricot color used are
very charming. The .highest-priced
panel is THE Hollyhock Screen"
at $500. Next comes the "Haw-
thorne Tripitch." at $3.50. The other
prices range from 800 to 5000. .x-
cept the "Tritomas," which is $3.50.
In buying these for home. the
quiet-colored ones would have to
be chosen. as their vividness Is too
much for the ordinary home.
Frames Work of Art.
The framing of these panels has
been a work of art. All the frames
are very simple. the ornamentation
being only oblonS designs of the
wood. All the frames are Chinese
in conception. and some of them are
said to be real teakwood.
Some one intimated that Mrs.
Shockley's favorite was Mile
Fleurs.' as she said she was happy
all the time she was doing it. This
contains six or eight different kinds
of small flowers, odd-shaped vases.
and all sorts of little floral and
plant representations on the table
