rich in color and mellow in tone-a
very elaborate composition beautifully
rendered. Paintings of small bronze,

good part of the Winter at the
club. lend a new note which is vel
come. Heavily painted and glazed.
these pictures have engaging texture
and at the same time depth of tone,
which is quite unusual. Hattie z.

to this gallery in her handsome and
very effective painting of pink peonies
and still life, and from Mrs. Thomas
w. Hastings has come most pleasing
study Of Garden Roses in a Brittany
Pitcher" Flower paintings by Eliza
beth Graves, Cherry Ford White and
Helen Townsend all add color and
interest.
Among the landscapes, one OF "An
Old Glacier Park Trail" by Robert z.

tain peaks, outstanding. Very subtle
and quite unusual are two landscape
studies by Douglas D. Ellington, one
of which. "Wavering Mists." is dis
tinctly reminiscent Of the ancient
Chinese school in simplifcation. Also
individualistic is Lucia B. Holleriths
painting made In Southwestern Vir-
ginia," likewise a green picture. but
very atmospheric with excellent indi-
cation of planes in the mountain
ranges which rise to great height, fold
upon fold.
Gladys Nelson Smith, in a painting
entitled Model r" lends diversion
through very clever rendering of
mundane human habitation seen from
the rear which somehow carries the
suggestion of Summer holidays and
good times. From o. Raymond Car
rington has come a well-painted Sun
lit Hillside" and from Garnet w. Jex
a transcription of "Showery Day in
May, Linden. Virginia. which is
little out of his usual manner. Cara

best known for such local subjects as
