Outstanding in the social events
for the coming week is the eXhlbl-

Patience McCormick-Goodhart Glib
son. to be held in the Garbo room
at the Shoreham Hotel next Tues
day and Wednesday, February l6
and II. from 2::30 to $50 o'clock.
Mrs. James Mcmillan Gibson,
as she is known in private life,
holds three certificates from the
Royal Drawing Society of London.
In Paris she studied miniature
painting with Nine. Vitry and
Mile. Faure, both celebrated paint
ers. Mrs. Gibson's work resembles
miniatures; however, she has de-
veloped a technique OF her own,
using for her water-color portraits
water color board instead OF
ivory. Her portraits of children,
and there are four in the eXhibi-
ton, one a very charming one OF
Sturck. son of the Polish Am
baSsador and Nine. Potocki, are eS
pecially lovely. Priscilla Wright
son, listed as Girl with Fan" is
rich in detail. A greater part OF
the portraits are of Well-knoWn
washington people, among them
