mERs. ARCHER H. CARPENTER

NA lV known in art circles as Ethel
 Carpenter, a former resident of Birmingham, but who, for the past two years have been living in Cincinnati, where she devoted much of her time to art work, has returned to this city to live. to the delight of her many friends, and has taken back her home on Lake view avenue.
 While in Cincinnati she studied clay modelling and the technique of sculp- ture. first with Mary Alexander, well known sculptur&t, and then for some fifteen months With Clement J. Barn. born, eminent sculptor of the Cincin- natl Art academy. In previous years, Mrs. Carpenter had studied at the Cor eoran Art gallery in Washington, ID. c. Her work has been widely recognized by critics and laymen, and si character lzed by great beauty of design.
 Among the things accomplished while studying in Cincinnati was design for the proposed Southern Nanny statue in Washington, which Senator Oscar Underwood praised so highly. Another Is tablet designed for a memorial to Woodrow Wilson, and submitted to the secretary of the D. A. R. It is proposed to erect this Wilson memorial on the spot where he addressed the commer- cial congress in Mobile. The tablet represents two angels of peace, holding between them portrait of Wilson, over which hangs an olive branch. One of the angels is looking at the portrait, the other is resting on the covenant of the League of Nations. Her portrait relief of Wilson is an excellent likeness.
 Then a sundial, designed by Mrs. Carpenter for the Mariemont settlement, built by Emery estate of Cincinnati, is most artistic piece of work. Marie mont is story in itself-not to be related here; space forbids. Anyway, it is model town for the laboring classes, where they can have homes at a req sonable cost. It is one of the philan- thropies of that good and wealthy wo- man, Mrs. Thomas J. Emery, who has been described as
 "She with all the charms of woman,
 She with all the breadth of man."
 In Mrs. Carpenters studio are many beautiful sketches for fountains, and some of her fountain designs are in use in public parks. There is a Rodinesque group, so striking that it catches the eye at once and causes the beholder to exclaim. This she has fittingly en- titled Anguish" Another which re- ceived the approval of Barnhorn, is Rodinesque torso of unusal distinction.
 So many interesting things one sell dom sees down here, and when this talented artist opens her studio after October l, art lovers will find there much to interest and admire.
 Allied Arts Club
 Another evening fgraught with soul ful pleasure was passed by the Allied Arts club in the attractive studio of Carrie Hill, which, with it's lovely marines of Britainy, old Spanish scenes, and fresh flower studies painted by this gifted artist, lends just the right atmosphere for an assemblage of de- voices of the arts.
 Included in this gathering of Bir- mingham talent are contributors to the arts of music, of painting, and of liter ature. Through each of these mediums does the spirit, imprisoned within the mortal frame, strive to achieve utter ance. The divine element in man is made manifest through his art. One of our great orators, in a recent address, said: "Nations may rise to power by force of arms or Machiavelian bril= liance in diplomacy, but only through
 
 can their claim to true greatness be established" Hence it is wise to foster and encourage those who can contribute to it in any form. And that is what the Allied Arts club is doing in our midst. More than this, it affords pleas ure and inspiration through the con- genial association of these workers in the kindred mediums of art.
 Monday night Ferdinand Dunkley, X having returned from a week in Flor ence at the writers conclave, presided with his usual ease and ability. Mrs. Charles Sharp paid a tribute to his courage in having remained up there for the week--the only man.
 Three honorary members were elect ed: Dr. 0. T. Glenn, MT. Victor Han son, and Maud Lindsay of Sheffield, the we'll known writer of juvenile books and stories, whose reputation ex- tends throughout this country and across the waters to England, where her books have been accepted. The feature of the evening was an address by Artemus Galloway on "What, In Should Tell It." Mir. Galloway was introduced by Edwin Dial Torgerson. who said that Mir. Galloway was one of the two purely professional writers in Birmingham, and gave further infor- nation about him in biographical way that enlightened all as to the scope of Mir. Calloway'S contributions to liter ature.
 The secretary, M. D. Lanie, an- nounced that the renowned Indian lec- turer and savant, 0. Jinarajadasa, through the courtesy of the Theosophical society, would deliver an address before the club on "Art and the Emotions" on Wednesday afternoon, October 1, in the Tutwiler ballroom. The occasion will afford a rare treat for all who may have the privilege of hearing this emi- nent speaker. There will be an exhibition of Carrie Hills painting in the board of educa- tion building, beginning with Septem- Der % and the club will hold it's week ly meeting there on the evening of Sep- tember 29.
 On next Monday evening the club will meet at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Hart ley Anderson when Paul Pim has con sented to give talk on Cartoons and Cartoonists."

 A most suspicious opening of the Louie Compton seminary was held in the auditorium of that institution We'd
