continued for two days, exhibiting
the work of buddinng artists. as
we'll as that of more proficient and
talented persons. The walls of the
club looked much like those of an
art gallery, where the paintings
were hung, as to class and subject
and members and visitors were pri-
vileged to look at these as they
consulted their program of exhibits
and exhibitors. Each contributor
was allowed two pictures for the
exhibit and some were offered for
sale. Loaned portraits and scenes
were enjoyed and appreciated by
those who came for the showing.
Among those loans were paintings
of the Presbyterian Church by
William A. Roach, portrait of Mrs.
1. G. Burton and a painting of
white House Farm on Indian
River" both by 2. L. PlechaviciOus.
Several pictures of another age and
done by Miss Carrie Houston, and
DR.. Whitehead. and loaned by Mrs.
William Marshall were much adj
mired. Another of the Castle of
ChillOn on Lake Geneva and done
many years ago by Mrs. Ida Rosa
brought forth much comment. The
Milford High and Elementary
School has a small section for its
exhibits. Mrs. Desmond Lyons and
Mrs. Douglas Fry were the chair
men of the day and arranged the
showing. To them goes much credit
for the success of the program
because it was their encouragement
and help that brought out a number
of amateur painters for their first
showing. Winter bouquets, arranged
