LIKE AUOlCy Woo ANN~Ady ~N~SA
ed as one of the So artists asked
to exhibit work at the December
show at the Metropolitan. Museum
of Art in New York City She has
the distinction of being the only
one in the entire Deep South to
make the Metropolitan showing.
She is also rated in Who's Who
and Who's Who in American Art.
She said in letter, 1T is with
gratitude that ] accepted Elvira
Reilly's invitation for the one-man
show current at East Martello
Tower gallery, and am thrilled to
exhibit in your beautiful city"
In her own words, concerning the
background of her work, she adj
mits that what she likes to paint
most in the Smokes, ''are the
little farms with their tiny gardens
and tobacco patches which. make
most interesting patterns with the
peaks rising in the background.
| like almost equally well to paint
fish houses in far away little fish
ing villages Of Florida. Lone palms
scraping their frondS in the Florida
breeze, the torrid plains, or the
ranches so full of wild life they
reSembled the African veldt." The
reason for these preferences is
understandable. The artist was
born in Georgia and is now
resident of Clearwater, Fla, al
though she maintains a studio at
Chattanooga, Tenn. She travels
about through the CarolinaS, too
and of course, lived in Mexico.
Wherever she goes, she has the
ability to absorb the genus loci''
and to reflect the moods of her
surroundings with both force and
delicacy.
She tends to be conservative, but
shows pliancy in her technique,
which incidentally has drawn
praise from such famed water
coloriSts as Frederic Whitaker who
wrote, "As one water colorist to
another, you know how to do it!
Congratulations "
There is something in the way
she paints her subject material
which suggests the rhythm Of
poetry. The measure is sometimes
Lyric, light, lifting, or sometimes
like the majesty of Shakepearian
blank verse used in dramas. There
is also the perfection of the Eliza
bethian sonnet, polished and inn
| peccable. In painting detail, there
/ are little flights into fancy like
that of French rondeau with its
unexpected turn Of phrasing.

courtesy and generally poor serv-
ice that prevailed during the war
years have returned to plague re-
tailers, a Nationwide private sur
vey shows.
The annual survey of retail SELL
ing by the Willmark Service Sys-
tenn. Inc, said sales clerks have
settled down to the status of mere
change-makers and order-takers.
Maxwell I. Schultz, executive
vice president of Willmark, said
the survey showed definitely that
more sales could have been made
in 1851 if sales persons had given
mroe attention to the business of
selling.
