Excellent Work
From Out-of-
TWO excellent and delightful paint
ings-Snow scenes, one at Con-
cord. Mass, the other at Woodstock,
VT, the ski run-by Russell T. Smith,
now head of the lately formed Depart
ment of Art at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. have been
given impressive placement on the end
wall, which their admirable quality
merits. Mr. Smith is an architect by
training, but his enthusiasm is water
color painting and within the. past two
years he has in this field come rap
idly to the fore. His work is broad and
simple, very sincere and sympathetic,
realistic enough to assure veracity, but
sufficiently interpretative to be emo
tional.
S. Peter Wagner of this city, Maine
and Florida, according to the season,
is extremely well represented in this
exhibition by large, colorful paint
ing, boldly rendered, of sunset through
the woods, which he has entitled THE

her own. shows only one work this year
"a farm scene, New England-Au-

dered. Susan B. Chase, the secretary
of the club, is at her best in an in
terior-a corner presumably of her
own studio.

and almost aggressive in color and in
dividuality. and "Narcissus," by Eliza
