Mr.. Arms is much interested IN
the potenialities of miniature etch-
ing. Also, he does not forget that he
was Washington boy.
Reference already has been made
to the use of various media, but spe-
cial praise should be given for work
in color and for, in several instances,
particularly good cutting OF wood
blocks. OF the latter, for example,
the cats, chickens and sheep by
Vina Cross. To single out certain
works when merit is so even. seems
almost an injustice TO those who
cannot be referred to for lack OF
space.

How perfect were the proportions
of these old houses-how gracious

Kathleen Wheeler shows a group
of six little works in sculpture,
rendered in clay fired and glazed
by the artist. These are of dogs,
game birds and a fox, the last, per-
haps, best of all in characterization
and spontaneity.
With these and other works in
sculpture there is a lovely little
kneeling Madonna by Arabella Kos
siakoff, not more than inches in
height. very simply modelled. with
a mere gossamer touch of blue in
her robe. From this figure there
seems to emanate a spirit of in
