ART EXHIBIT AND TEA

The Twentieth Century club,
which won state recognition for
its work in art last year, will con-
tinue that work with an exhibit
of water colors from the Harriet
Hanley studios in Minneapolis,
Monday afternoon at the Epis-
copal Guild hall. Members of all
women's clubs and others inter-
ested are specially invited to at
tend the showing, which is prin-
cipally the work of one woman,
Miss Bruce Of Minneapolis, al
though a few other artists will be
represented.
This is an unusual opportunity
for art-minded people, for sell
dom, if ever, do the Harriet Han
ley studios send their displays as
far from Minneapolis and to
towns as small as Redwood Falls.
Undoubtedly the privilege has
come because of the efforts Of Mrs.
F. H. Anthony, art chairman of
the club, who attends many of the
shoWings in the cities and who
has created a real interest in art
in her organization. Those attend
ing will be guests of the club at
a silver tea during the afternoon
and the hall will be open to the
public in the evening when
small admission charge will be
made. The proceeds will 90 into
a fund for the Golden Jubilee an
niverSary being sponsored by the
state federation.

and no wonder. 1t was the first
time since she was Is that she had
felt or acted like other girls of her
age. Chris followed her to the kit

The kitchen was in order. Anna
had washed the dishes before she
returned to bed. The cupboards
Gail noted with pride were immac-

hanging in meticulous rows.
1T looks like a laboratory" Chris
remarked. Who is the house

Gail explained. Aunt Belle is a

than Mother does"

| Spraying Saves
Time and Labor
In Painting House

In planning your new spring paint
job do not overlook the service you
may get from a paint sprayer. Your
painter will know about them.
A house chat will take eight days
to do may be completed in three
figuring two days for the spraying
wall space and one day to finish the
trim by hand. 1t is excellent for
the shutters, porch furniture and
screens. This is expensive equip
ment to purchase, but they may
be rented for about $6 day and
will make painting the house an
adventure. Make a blind" out OF
wall board to fit into your window
frames so that the tiny paint smears
will not have to be cleaned. This
is the ideal way to handle large
painted surfaces, takes no more
paint and saves much on time and
labor.

Gives Up Hope.
1T used to think so, but I know
better now. I've given up all hope"
well, I haven't" Gail insisted.
"And who knows? Chris may be
the very one to do It,"
She made a salad and broiled
small steak which she served
with hot buttered toast and tea,
insisting that Anna have her tray
in Calls room so that they could
talk while she dressed.
She tried to be considerate Of
her mother but the girls eyes were
shining with radiance which could
not be concealed. Her whole face
felt different. 1t looked young and
alive and vivid.
Even Anna's frozen heart was
warmed by her daughters happi-

Not yet" she pleaded. Some

to the idea. But don't ask me to
be nice to him ever"

"You won't be able to help it,"
Gail prophesied. after all, Mother,
CHRIS Is on our side now. He has
left the store and is going to find
another place to live. He's not
even going to stay home"
That's what you think" Anna
said. But you aren't married yet
and even after you are blood
is. thicker than water as you'll
learn to your sorrow"
But no matter what she said
Gail refused to let anything spoil
this evening. For one little inter-
val everything must be the away
Chris wanted it. And what an
evening it was.
Dinner in place Gail had heard
about but never seen. The glitter

which blended with the satin dam

Music which enfolded them and
melted into their mood like a
dream. The dinner Chris ordered
was served with Difference then
they were left alone. To linger
as long as they wished over small
fragile cups of hot coffee. Laugh
ter bubbled beneath the surface of
every remark and glance and their
love was like an accompaniment

To be toung and in love and
laughing at obstacles made every
thing she had suffered previously
fade into the background.
They were on their way home

state Of the lending market and
lower real estate taxes will make
unnecessary the Federal guarantee
of real estate mortgages. Pending
that time, however, it claims that
present advantages enjoyed by new
construction under the F. H. A.
mortgage insurance plan are disad-
vantageous to existing homes, tend
ing to accentuate urban decentral-
ization and spread blight. So it
urged amendment Of the National

cities, and that this phase of the
National Housing Act should be
extended beyond July l, 1871, when

sides and current slum clearance

sides and current slum clearance
programs.
The association expressed the be-
lief that slum and blighted areas
can be cleared up and the low
cost housing problem solved on q
sound economic basis through local
and private initiative. The real
tors admitted that certain areas in
older cities have become blighted
beyond rehabilitation through ordi-
nary means. They asked that agen-
cies be created by cooperation of
municipal, State and Federal Gov
ernments with private enterprise
whereby such areas may be &C
quired under the right of eminent
domain for the purpose Of replan-
ming and rebuilding them through
development organizations operat-
ing under the new plan for the
district. They said a remodeled
Federal agency is desirable for this
work, the function of which would
be to assist in accomplishing de-
sired results without Government
becoming landlord to its own citi-
zenS."
In another resolution the associa-
ton asked strict regulation through
municipal, county and State wide
coming enactments of the use Of
"unsightly billboards and temporary
roadside structures" detrimental to
real estate values in residential
areas.
The association renewed its stand
for overall limitation Of taxes on
real estate. Inequities in assess
ment processes should be corrected,
it stated. and tax valuations for
real estate should be based on pro-
