As is customary, Mrs. Cotton was elect- ed to serve two terms, having proven herself a most eflicient and hardworking officer. But the good run made by Mrs. Orr two years ago, the man-fashion of her attitude toward her successful rival, and her subsequent support of the ad- ministration, made her the only logical rdidate for 1966-'07. After the nominations the following | members were elected delegates to the tional convention that meets in St. , Minn., this summer: Mrs. A. Y. er Mrs Athearn and Mrs. H. H.

Today the Sketch Club will present to its fellow-citizens an interesting ex- hibition of “Old Master” copies at the club’s headquarters in the California | Club house. | " The presentation is mainly the work of Benzoni Irwin, a former San Fran- ciscan and brother of Mrs. Mary Cur- tis Richardson, the local painter. —and from all tradition he was dearly loved—is on sale for what seems to be a very modest sum, The coples are from Rembrandt, Ru- bens, Velasquez, Frank Hal, Van Dyke | and Murillo, and they emphasize the | justification for Irwin’s reputation as | 2 comprehensive painter. | There are a few copies in the exhi- bition by Julie Heyneman, whose fame |is hardly enhanced by their presence. | In no senee do they do her the honor | that did the work displayed in the | same rooms last month. In the display of “Old Master” cop- jes it seems a pity that E. Almond Withrow is not showing hen Murillos, Rubens and Rembrandts. However, as it is, the show is tre- mendously interesting and well worth a half-hour’s musings. ———— CANNOT HAVE HOMESTEAD.—The Su- preme Court decided yesterday that a home- stead could not be reserved from the Franklin Heywood estate for the benefit of Agnes Maude Heywood, because the young lady had attained | her majority before the petition was filed.
