TBI Arts Club has under consideration an interesting project—that of instituting an annual flower market here in Washington simi- lar to those held yearly in Philadelphia, Baltj- more and Pittsburgh. The director and organizer of the Pittsburgh Flower Market, Miss Marie Dermitt, gave a talk at the club on the evening of Tuary 4, tell- ing most interestingly of what had been done, how it was done and with what result, in the city of smoke and manufactures.

The painting is included in New York. and were allured by its charm. The Philadel phia Flower Market is held each May in Rit- tenhou.e!qmre‘nhnsbutlslndem.bu for that time is a most picturesque festiv: occasion. Such a market does not in any way, it said, interfere with the sale of Washington is a flowery city in May, and its abundant amount of open space, could very Mr. Bush-Brown, chairman of the civic com- mittee of the Arts Club, presented the matter to the board of governors at a recent meeting, and a special committee of three, consisting of Pulton Lewis, L. M. Leisenring and Felix Mahony, were appointed to consider the mat- ter and make recommendation at an early date. Undoubtedly, if a flower market is sponsored by the Arts Club, it will be done as well and effectively as the Bal Boheme, which has be- come not only a favorite local institution, but famed in other cities for its artistic excellence. AN exhibition of paintings by Pablo Burchard and drawings by Juan Oliver, both of Chile, wfllopentnthe!orkecdlerywmormvmer the patronage of the Chilean Ambassador, Senor Don Carlos G. Davila. Pablo Burchard was born in Chile, and was a professor at the Chilean School of Art for six years. He was awarded the first medal at the Chilean Exposition and was represented at the Exposition of Seville by seven canvases. His work was also included in the Exposition of the South American Painters, in New York. Mme. Davila, who will exhibit with him, was at one time his pupil, chll WALDO HOWELL, who began her career as an artist here in Washington and mmmhtedmbed.mm.u exhibiting at this time at the Grand Central Art Galleries, New York, where a whole room Miss Howell, who, by the way, 15 a1 s of the National Academy of W ] won many honors at the hawds of.- B 0 L.

GLADYB BRANNIGAN, another erstwhile Washingtonian, is exhibiting at this same time in New York.

From even a cursory survey of Mr. and Mrs. Wilsen's one eould not fail te realize that both are lovers of beauty, with keen per- ception and real power of expres icn. In some of Mrs. Wilson’s paintings she repre- sented white flowers against an almost white background with great subtlety, whereas at other times she portrayed with apparent delight flowers of bright color in daring combination. Mr. Wilson’s landscapes to a great extent em- braced broad views and were som:what pane- ramic, not literal transcriptions, but simplifica- latitude for imaginative play. Not perhaps great art, but very charming and quite it of One of Mrs. Wilson’s paintings shown in this exhibition was lately acquired by Leander McCormick-Goodhart of this city. . i BRYANT BAKER, a British sculptor, who has become a naturalized citiz:n of the United summmmnhlhhbmem,hulueb finished & portrait bust of form:r Chief Justice Taft from studies made from sittings when Mr. Baker was in Washington some t'me ago.
