from 1887; the majority were done
during the past year or two. Her
portraits appear to be her best
work, judged as a group. There are
four of young girls. all of which are
stylized to some extent, yet each
face retains individuality.
Her Landscapes and urban scenes,
which, comprise the majority of the
paintings on view, range from fairly
large, carefully done canvases, to
small sketches which seem to have
been executed rather hastily.
The artist began her career in
New York, came to Washington in
1894. She studied at the Corcoran
School under Richard Lahey, Eugen
Weisz and Kenneth Stubbs and was
herself an instructor in children s
classes there for three years. Since
then she has conducted classes for
children in her own studio.
She Is member of the Society of
Washington Artists, of which she
was secretary last year.

This is the story of the s34th
Bomb Groups missions over Ger
many and love affair between the
groups commanding officer and Q
red-haired English girl named Anne.
The first air commander, who was
loved by his men and Anne. is shot
down over target. And then the
new colonel, fresh from a chair
borne command in New York, at
tempts to win over both the Amer
icaa airfield in England and Anne.
There are three main settings:
The colonel's Office, Anne's apart
ment and the skies over Germany.
The latter proves to be the most
entertaining, as actual bombing
missions are described.
The story ends when the air conn
mander, who went down In flames,
returns, by some miracle. 1t doesn't
take many paragraphs to dispose Of
him again though, for Anne tells
him the new colonel has taken his
place. That's where the story ends,
but there are seven more chapters.
These seven only succeed in
slightly wounding the winning COL
onel in a crash landing, and having
him decide to marry Anne, The
reader has known all along that
both would happen.
