even silk mesh net may be susb.i-
tuted. An unusual battle is expect
ed among the colors with taupe

for popularity of the cotton dresses
for spring and summer.

silk Innings for dresses have been
almost as universal as the proverb-

ers have introduced a novelty, how
ever, in the Innings used on the new
frocks for this spring. They are
using fine handkerchief linen in
many instances to line the floating
panels and sleeves and capes in
stead of silk. These Innings are
frequently heavily embroidered in
odd designs. On a gown where
heavy black canton was seen this
week, the panels are lined with
maroon linen embroidered in navy
and gold thread Another black
frock has the panels lined with en-
erald green with embroideries OF
quaint little flowers in dull gold
and Chinese blue.

Reception to Open
Exhibit of Works
by j. Lars Hoftrup

The Tri-city Art league has Sc
cured a collection Of paintings by
J. Lars Hoftrup for a two weeks
exhibit which will open tomorrow
evening in the Davenport public
library, with a reception. The ex-
hibit is brought here directly from
New York City, where it was
shown from Nov. % to Dec. II.
Mr. Hoftrup is well known in the
tri-cities and vicinity where he, in
company with Armande Wargny
spent several summers painting
few years ago. 1t is over three
years since Mr. Hoftrup's work has
appeared here and in that time he
has become recognized as one of
the foremost young American ar
lists. His many friends here will
be glad of the opportunity to see
some of his recent works
This exhibit comprises twenty
eight landscapes, all oils with the
exception of one large water color.
The latter, entitled "A Wet Day,
is a scene in Rock Island and is
highly praised by eastern critics.
W. G. Bowdoin in a New York ex-
change says: "A Wet Day is
charged with the idea of moisture
we'll developed and which certainly
suggests overshoes. The cab in the
picture is halted in front of the
corner house and the embodiment
Of rain is perfectly adorable
A fluent use of color is a feature
of Mr.. Hoftrup's paintings. In the
exhibit which is to be brought here
are January Twenty-frst," a win
ter scene in oil, that brought out
much delighted comment in the
east for the realism of its snow and
the dark tone of the houses.
Critics have been vying with
each other in f1attering comments
on Mr.. Hotrup's wark as shown
them in the canvases at Mrs. NAL
collins gallery. The exhibit is open
