ART EXHIBIT OF PORTLANDER ATTRACTING WIDE ATTENTION Unconvention, • Daring Treatment Characteristic of Clara Jane Stephen’s Collection With subjects that range from “Chickens” to “Towers of Spanish Church, San Francisco,” or better, to a portrait, “Venetian Woman,’ of a peasant, no one could fail to find in the Clara Jane Stephens collection of paintings now on ex hibition in the art museum of the Art building, a picture to his lik ing. Miss Stephens is an instructor in the Portland art museum. The technique in different pic tures varies as much as do the sub jects, sometimes being a smooth strokes that hardly show where they begin or end; sometimes long, quick ones, sweeping every direc tion, to produce the effect of wind blown clouds; but oftenest little, short dabs that appear as a hetero geneous mass of colors from close up, but a lovely reproduction of the “Oregon City Bridge During Con struction,” or “The Golden Cloud” when viewed from a distance. One of the most realistic pictures ] in the group is entitled “Playing Lady” and portrays a little girl' clothed in long, full gown and wear ing a Merry Widow hat that look like a real cart-wheel on her small' head. “Night Scene in Idaho” is an other picture that attract^ the eye. It is done in dark colors, a circus tent in the background with a light in the door throwing shadows and colors on the groups of men and animals in the foreground. Two pictures, both “still life,” are somewhat oriental in their sub jects and colors. One, done mainly in different shades of yellow, is of a bowl on a small ebony stand rest ing on a rainbow tinted base that contains much yellow, three or four lemons carefully yet carelessly scattered on the table, a tiny sta tue at one side of the bowl, and a very well reproduced Japanese print in the background. The other has a background of jade, a bowl and stand, a small black carved elephant and a string of ivory beads in the picture. Then, there are two very striking pictures which might appeal to some, one “The Fireweed,” the oth er “Mt. St. Helenjs.” They are done, the first as its name suggest, in various shades of red, with gray barren trees and their dark shad ows and a hillside in the distance also of charred trees, but topped with green; the second of different tones of mauve, here and there deepening into purple, set off by a dark bank and numberlesjfc dots of yellow that suggest flowers of lights, whichever one wishes to . ..

Convince her of your sincerity and eat with George. think them. St. Helens is very beautiful, seeming more a dream than a reality against a sky reflect ing a summer sunset. These pictures are as extreme a contrast as one could imagine to those of Alfred H. Schroff, profes sor of fine arts, which were up pre vious to Miss Stephens’, and which emphasized the russet and blues of reality, the subtleness of an ideal ist and the finish of an artist of the older school. Miss Stephens’ work is bold, daring, unconven tional, and some might say even “raw.” She catches the picture and reproduces it on canvas from her artist’s mind, not as it is, but ais she sees it, as she feels it. Her portraits, however, one should not say lacked detail, for they are full of the little things that count, the little dog curled up in one corner of the piece known as “The Jack-o Lantern Makers,” the pattern and folds of the Venetian Woman’s shawl, or the bit of fancywork in the “Young Mother.” Yet they are done with a freedom that M^. Schroff probably purposely avoided. BOOKLET ISSUED BY U. H. S. ENGLISH CLASS An English class of the Univer sity High School under the super vision of Miss Juliette Gibson, prac tice teacher and journalism major, recently issued a booklet called “Tower Room Talk.” The booklet is typewritten and contains adver tisements, snapshots, editorials, pic tures of the school and the story of its* growth, poems and book re views.

She found it the other day and immediately told me about it—we’ve b“een living on heavenly sweet stuff ever rince. You remember the Eugene hos pital on Willamette street—well, it’s right across from that; the name is McKellop’s. Hasting Sisters have a new hair cutter, Mr. Cunningham, who specializes in cutting both women’s and children’s hair. One of the girls was up the other lay, h(er hair looks lovely after ho cut it. Do you remember about this tiimo last year when “Moonlight and Roses” came in, taken from that classical piece Andantino? The same thing has happened this year again and this time it’s “Dream of Lo\te,” from Liebestraum. A divine melody and it’s the first piece to come with a complete ukelele solo. I bought it yesterday at the Eu gene Music Shop and they are featuring “Thanks For the Buggy Ride” and “Flaming Mamie.” They’re both hot numbers. • * • Marg had a birthday yesterday and her family sent her a big check—did she tear for Wether bee-Densmore’s where she got a tan tweed dress—sport dress— most tailored and cleverly trim med with embroidery and colored, flannel. They are so smart— Marg looks especially darling in hers as sho is just tho type for a tailored dress of that sort. * » # The Aladdin Giftware Shop had some dear animals made of brass to bo used as paper weights —lions, tigers, nijonkeys and little brass Buddhas—they had powder boxes in French Cloi sonne that one can just see on a Louis XVI dressing table—cos tumed men and women against bright backgrounds. Tho very finest Valentine flowers from Raup’s Florist Shop in red and yellow—tulips, carna tions, violets, roses, hyacinths and almost every imaginable flowor in every color—for one’s best friend or one’s best girl. * » » Upstairs in Wetherbee-Dens more’s balcony is Mrs. Letitia Abrams’ Hat Shop and she had some of the cleverest Easter bonnets yesterday. They were silk and straw with tiny forget me-nots or violets and velvet streamers to float in tho breeze. Ono can vision oneself in any of them on Easter morning. I was looking for n present to sent Cecile for her birthday and I ran across some dear vases at the Eugene Art and Gift Shop, gust around the corner from the McDonald. They have them in wellar ware and satsuma. Saw some guada pottery, made in Holland, that I shall get later for mother. Their priees are so reasonable one can’t help buy ing things from them. * » * One of the girls that lives in town is having a small bridge tea Saturday and I’m helping her plan it. We are going to get tea cookies from Underwood Elliott’s—thoy have such good nut tops, lady fingers and mac aroons. Gwen got some pine malade there the other evening, —it’s so near the campus—only a block and a half past the Alpha Chi house. Dot was just in and wished to be remembered to you. She is on her way to get a haircut at the Co-ed Barber Shop, back of the Co-op. Dot certainly is fas tidious—gets a hair cut on the average of once a week, but then, they always give pleasing results. She’s inveigled mo into going with her, so I’ll leave you, dear. Always with love, CAROL.
