H 4SWELL’ S VARIED ASSORTMENT OF PICTURES EXHIBITED AT Y. M. C. A. LAST WEEK An exhibit of high class pictures and frames was open to the public in the Y. M. C. A. Chapel last Satur day, Sunday and Monday. H. H. Al len, representing G. H. Pitman & Bro. wholesale dealers of Dallas, had charge of this exhibit. This company was persuaded to give an exhibit at College Station through the efforts of W. H. Matthews, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. This company deals in wholesale only, and due to the Y. M. C. A. stu dents and outsiders who desired to purchase high class pictures at reduc ed rates were given an opportunity to do so. The exhibit included popu-' lar art pictures and fancy frames, with a special selection of cabinet frames; any of these could be bought as ideal Christmas gifts or for pri vate use. Two hundred and fifty orders were placed during the time the pictures were on exhibition. Many pictures were bought for the purpose of decor ating the Senior Club Room and other parts of the Y. M. C. A. Purchases, for this purpose, were made by Presi dent and Mrs. Bizzell, Secretary and Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Taubenhaus, F. L. Thomas, and many others, includ ing P. R. McNeill representing - the Senior Club. Mr. Allen announces wonderful re sults in exhibiting the pictures—not only in sales, but in the inter est taken by the student body. The students made purchases of especially high class pictures, showing an ex ceptional taste for quality in their se lections. “As an example,” Mr. Allen said, Tthere were thirty-three orders placed for Maxfield Parish’s ‘Day break.’ ” A semi-annual display, under the supervision of the Y. M. C. A. has been p'anned. Mr. Allen says that the next exhibit will receive more prepar ation and contain a much larger va riety of pictures. This second annual exhibit will be made next spring. Mr. Matthews will receive all sub sequent orders from the company at the same reduced rates. Anyone de siring to turn in an order should do so at the desk of the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. will receive a per centage in pictures of all orders and these pictures will be placed among the masterpieces bought for the purpose of decorating this insti tution. The desire to make a real restful place out of the Y. M. C. A. with this form of charm, was the pur pose of bringing about the exhibit. Chattum: “Sorry, we have no size twelve boots. Here are some large tens.” Colglazier: “Say, who do you think I am, Cinderella?” «>^<3><^ NOTICE, WORLD WAR VETERANS. Have you submitted your ap plication for Adjusted Compen sation ?
