To de.s pair because the local gallery ts not frequented ·every afternoon with beauty-loving patrons is a futile gestu.r e; but Evanston does not throng to view these precious works of art. These are larger canvasses, in the majority, than were hung in the first show of Chicago and vicinity artists that preceded the holidays. Many of these are landscapes, some of them portraits and some of them decorative paintings. The smaller paintings include flower pictures, landscapes and decorative panels.

It Is understood that h.'tls will be the last exhibit of the season to be brought to Evanston under this commendable plan of the Guild and Art commission. These exhibits may rtot have been supported by white phlox, yellow and white daisies many but have had the sincere gratitude ~f:~~st the folds of a shawl of beautltul and appreciation of a large ·number of beauty lovers.
