instrumentality of the Art Center of

cash prizes. Whether or not these
prizes have served their purpose, the
visitors to the exhibition which now

Margaret M. Law, who Is exhibiting
at this time, Is . strong painter and has
painted, for the most part. Southern
scenes. Her work has marked indi-
viduality, breadth in execution and
largeness of conception which will prove
OF general interest.
Following the suggestion made at a
recent special meeting, the Arts Club
has decided to hold two exhibitions of
the work of club members this Spring,
the first from May II to IS, for which
works shown win be selected by jury
from those submitted The second will
be from May IS through the Summer,
and for this there will be no jury, and
as many paintings hung as wall space
provides.
The recent purchase by the club of
an adjoining house promises interesting
deyelopment-more space and greater
convenience. An effort is being made
to secure contributions from club mem
bers to meet the requisite expenditure,
and generous response has already been
met. sg
