genes," in which she pictured thj pt
t jo jt struggling, the love of art for art's
saKe; the trials, the larks, the success of
the few, acd failuros of mmy, all in a
vivid manner. Mies Alice Turner gavo
a solo in an artistic and enjoyable way.
Miss Watkins read a description of the
fjirl who posd for the "Ant;clus." The
"Gleaneis," the 'Angelus'" and other of
Millett's pictures were on exhibition.
Miss Martha Turner discussed the topic
of Illustrated Papers.
Mrs. C. 0. Gray acted as hostess and
leader for the April meeting. The
beauty of the terns in the conservatory
adjoining the parlor was a treit to every
artistic eye. '-Etruscan Art" wai the
topic carefully prepared by Miss Becker
and "Flemish Art," by MUs Sheldon.
The closin7 meeting of the y ar for
this department was held with Miss
Decker. Souvenirs, tied with club
colors and bearing art notep, were fur
nished by the hostess. Mrs. F. C. Rorer
read an article on '-Women in Architec
ture,' describing the struggle women
have baa for recognition in this line of
work. Mies Watkins read an article on
"Natural Poeitions in Photographs." It
was interesting and amusing. A char
acter sketch of French, the sculptc r,
was given by Mrs. F. V. Herrick. The
masterpieces of this American artist
were described. A review of the j ear's
work and the outlook for the coming
jear was given by Mrs. Brindloy, and
the Art Department adjjurned till Oc
tober, 1898.
During the year Miss Becker, Miss
Watkins, Miss Sheldon and Mrs. Brind
ley were perfect in attendance.
We furnished a program for one gen
eral meeting at which Mrs Ballon gave
a delightful discourse on Madonnas, de
scribing Raphael's and Madonnas bhe
had seen in Alaska. Mrs. Samuel Good
ale on invitation gave an account of the
art she had seen in Europe.
I think I can 6afely say that every
member is a lover of art, and this is the
secret or our success. Some of the good
we accomplished was to influence the
school board to purchase copies of mas
terpieces for tl-e school rooms, for the
education and enjoyment of the chil
dren. The amount sent to Prang & Co.,
for this purpose was S20.
We have made a good start and if we
adopt the work laid down by the "Uni
vereit Extension" we are well prppareil
for it. This plan may require more
study than we have given this subject in
the past, but are we not willing to make
some sacrifice to pursue this delightful
study?
The illness of Miss Turner is deeply
regretted by this department and her
speedy recovery is hoped for. That we
may meet in October rested and ener
getic without one name dropped and
others added is the hope of all.

The secret of success in nearly everything1 lies in the
material and workmanship. Fine marble, chiseled by a
poor sculptor would be a failure, poor material used bya
line workman would not live. It is the excellent material
w.rich roes into the SHAW PIANO which makes it so
durable. It is the fine and most scientific workmanship
that gives it its rich, refined appearance, most beautiful
tone and responsive touch. No apprentice can get a posi
tion in the Shaw Piano Co.'s factory.
