OF XMAS RECORDS FIRST” JEWELRY AND VIGTROLAS INSTITUTE EXHIBIT BY SCHOOL TEACHER Miss Sherinyan Has Amazing Col- | lection in Talcott Art Room There is on exhibition at the New Britain Institute Museum a collection of paintings and crafts, which is attention. oil ana water color paintings, reed and b ket work, hammered brass, potter) and jewelry work; and, although the bound to attract unusual hibit is the handiwork of Miss Eliz- abeth Sherinyan, who is instructor in drawing, painting and design at the Grammar school. Miss Sherinyan began her work at the school at the opening of the fall term, coming to this city from ‘Worcester, Mass., where for six sum- mers she was supervisor of basketry work in the Worcester City grounds. She was also formerly in- structor in fine and industrial arts in the State Industrial School in Massa- chusetts. She is a graduate of the Mas: chusetts Normal Art School of Bosto and also of the Worcester Art Mu- seum of Worcester, Mass., and has studied under Ernest L. Major, and Philip Hale of the Boston Museunm of Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Special courses in landscape oil painting were H. Greenwood of Worcester. Since eight years of age Miss She inyan has been interested in drawing and art work in all its branches. claim to brush work which will riv: that of Inness, Sartain, Cooper, Haw- thorne, Murphy, Bunce or other can- vases by masters whose works arc permanent fixtures in the Talcott Art Collection, nevertheless her work is worthy of the highest praise. Most artists have fixed particular subjects which they center their whole atten- tion and their very souls, as it were, upon, ;and they dare not paint other subjects for fear of ruining and losing their characteristic style or method. But with Miss Sherinyan it is diffe ent, for she can paint a portrait to- day, and a landscape tomorrow and produce splendid canvases. -In her exhibition at the Institute she has considerable over a half a hundred paintings—every canvas done by her- self, and all could be spoken of as being worthy of special mention. To choose the oneg to lay particular stress on is a difficult matter, but judging from expressions by the manv visitors the painting, “Autumn” would be given the honor of being, at least, the most popular. It is a canvas which will catch the eye as soon as one enters the room. Another au- tumn landscape shows a heavy wood- land through which winds an old lo=- ging road. The coloring of the dead and dying lage 1s beautifully and perfectly executed, and the cloud ef- fect is charming. “Winter,” is the subject of a painting which shows Mother Earth covered with drifted snow, and it brings home to one the fact that the able time in studying nature und just such conditions. In fact it ma ers not whether it is “The Roses, Hills,” or the portrait, “A Study in Brown and Orange,’ or “The Black- smith,” each and everv painting im- presses the observer with the idea the subjects.

One can hardly realize this fact. All the portraits were painted in the remarkable short space of time of from three to five hours. In oil or water color, Miss Sher- inyan can paint equally well. There are several water colors in the dis-! play which furnish ample proof of her talent in this branch of art. That she is a truly remarkable stu- dent of art is further proven by the cleverly exgcuted hammered brass work, basketry work, pottery, and, last but not least, the beautiful jew- elry work done in sterling silver, all of which was done with her own hands. To sce this entire exhibition it is difficult for one to fully realize that a single person could find time to do it all That Miss Sherinvan made and does sized by the display of her art work in this exhibition at the Institute Mu- ! seum. The exhibitlon is open during the usual Museum hours, 2 to 5, in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 at night, and wili continue until Decem- ber 29. i The Quinine That Does Not Head | Because of its tonic and laxative ef- \ fect, Laxative Bromo Quinine can be |taken by anyone without causing ! aervousness or ringing in the head.

DOING GOOD WORK Affect taken under the Instruction of Joseph | | Annual Meeting of ‘Which Association at Rcports for Year Al- though Miss Sherinyan does not lav i \Show Increased Activities. Reports reflecting the excellent and humane work that is being done in this city by the Visiting Nurses were made yesterday afternoon at the an- nual meeting of the Visiting Nurses’ association. The report of Miss Sarah A. Ham- rick, who is in charge of this work, showed that during the past year a total of 929 patients had been cared { for by these nurses. This is an in- crease of 200 patients over a year ago. In caring for these patients the visiting nurses made 9,581 separatc calls, which is 2,440 more than were made last year.. The records ,also show that there were only 48 deaths among these patients, while 647 were discharged as either cured or con- valescent. The nurses also assisted at 138 surgical cases and gave 2,122 surgical dressings. Since the Visiting Nurses’ office at jthe corner of East Main street and | Center street was opened on June 15 | there has been an increase in the medico-office work and 226 surgical dressings have been given at the of- fice. MUNICIPAL POTATOES. The municlpal farm committee met yesterday afternoon and received a re- port on the condition of the potatoes in storage. It was found that in one storehouse a small quantity of pota- toes, about five bushels, had become affected by sweating. This trouble is confined to one bin, however, and is regarded as the usual shrinkage. A man has been detailed to inspect the stored potatoes. At the finance board meeting tonight F. H. Alford and W. B. Rossberg will appear to explain the council's request for $4,000~ to con- tinue the work. The committee is able | to show where already almost $2,000 is being returned into the city treas- ury from the sale of municipal pro- ducts, it is said. g make the most of her time is empha- | Painters, Decorators and Sign Makers e e e e e Ry BOY SCOUT NEWS At the meeting of the Court of Honor held in the Scout Headquar- ters Tuesday evening, December 4, 1917, the following Scouts passed their tests for merit badges.

This conference is for Boy Scouts and not for leaders. Fach troop in the New Britain council will be in- vited to send its best Scout and the Providence Boy Scouts will be glad to entertain them while in that city. The cost of transportation will hav. to be borne by the individual or th troop of which. he is a member. Among the speakers who have al- ready been accepted are James Wild- er, Daniel Beard and Lorne W. Bar- clay. This conference will bring out the ideals for which the Scout move- ment stands and send the Scouts back full of inspiration to their own com- munities. Each troop in the New Britain council should make an ef- fort to send one of its Scouts to Providence to attend this conference. It would certainly be a good invest- ment for any troop, as they will be more than repald by the enthusiasm that is sure to come to their troop upon the return of their delegate. The Boy Scouts of New Britain are going to be asked to take a most im- portant part in forwarding the plan of the government in issuing the w savings certificates that were inaugu. rated on December 3. Full ticulars will be announced at a later date. Troop 7 of the Boys’ club is ad- vancing very rapidly under the lead- ership of Deputy Scout Commissioner Willlam Hicikey, and they are sure to be heard from in the near future.
