Splendid programmes were presented both Tuesday and Wed nesday evenings and there were many attractions at the fair besides the splendid display of chrysanthemums. One prominent feature of the fair was a splendid art- exhibit. In one booth Mrs. Viola Price Franklin, city librarian, had charge of an exhibit of water colors painted by Professor Etta Booth, of the art department of the College of the Pacific, San Jose, Cal. Miss Booth has studied in Paris under the French masters Bonguereau, Paul Delance and Callot. Recently she has studied in the Solly Walter School of Illustration, San Frariclsco. and in the Handicraft Guild, Minneapolis, Minn. It is the highest ambition of many California artists to have their paintings hung in the famous art gal lery of the Del Monte Hotel, at Monte rey. Several of Miss Booth s water colors have been hung in this gallery. She works with the Carmel artists during the Summer. There were 20 water colors in the exhibit. Some that attracted most at tention were: "Carmel-by-the-Sea," an opaque water color. In the foreground s shrubbery, a clump of pines, in the middle distance is a bit of the blue Pacific and In the background the mountains and sky. The evening glow over the landscape Is beautiful and Its richness of coloring most exquisite. Tree Studies Favorites. Miss Booth excels in painting trees. One of these water colors, "A Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains," was a great favorite. The road curving up over the hill through the trees, and the big trees on either side made an ex cellent scene. The color scheme was lavender and green and the sunlight sifting through enhanced the beauty. Blossom Time in the Santa Clara Valley" recalled memories of the great blossom fete and made its appeal for ts beauty and richness. The California Oaks" was another picture that excelled in richness of coloring and beauty of scene. The ma jestic oaks stood out prominently on either side, while the sunset glow. through their branches added great beauty to the scene. Atlantic Coast Pictured. Among the marines exhibited were several of the Atlantic coast. "Low Tide, Old Plymouth, Mass.," was a spe cial favorite. A promontory jutting out into the ocean, and the beach in the foreground made a typical ocean view. The blending of the browns and greens in this picture, with the blue ocean produced a happy effect. On the first evening of the fair Mrs Franklin gave an art talk on the. "Art Life In Carmel-by-the-Sea," and then described the water colors. On Wednesday afternoon Miss Flo Nutting, who has studied in the Art Institute, of Chicago, gave the art talk and in the evening Mrs. F. H. Gesei- bracht, who is a great appreciator of art; described the pictures. WOMAN GOES TO PRISON Mrs. Jane Bradford Convicted of Defrauding Realty Dealer. VANCOUVER, B. C. Nov. 21.
