Canvases by City Woman to Be Shown Artist Husband Praises Painting Ability of Mrs. Bartlett. BY BEATRICE BURG AN llmr* Woman'* I’aee fcditor INDIANAPOLIS society and art patrons alike are anticipating Evelyn Fortune Bartlett’s exhibition of paintings next week at the John Herron Art Museum. Only a few years ago Mrs. Bartlett, daughter of William Fortune, left Indianapolis merely as a patron and student

of art. She has painted but little more than a year. Her husband, Frederic Clay Bartlett, himself an artist, says: “But this is of small moment, for the works themselves show that painting has been going on with, eye and mind most of her life.” She

Miss IJurgan

has had no formal art schooling. Taught by Husband All she knows of technique she has learned from her husband, widely known for his mural decorations. “Because Mrs. Bartlett has entire mastery of her hands, she has advanced rapidly. This mastery was shown in her embroidery, sewing and arrangement of flowers. There is absolutely no clumsiness about the way she uses her hands, he explained yesterday shortly after he had visited the museum with Mrs. Bartlett. Last year Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett worked together in a studio at Munich where Mr. Bartlett had studied at the Royal Academy of Art. They worked all winter on figure studies. Paint in Old House Their summer home is in the country about twenty miles north of Boston. Remote from the house is their studio in a 170-year-old house. “We have no telephone there and are never disturbed unless the message is very important,” Mr. Bartlett said. Their estate is near the summer home of Mrs. Albert Bevridge Sr., an intimate friend of Mrs. Bartlett. While there Mrs. Bartlett painted portraits of Mrs. Beveridge, of her son, Albert Beveridge Jr., and of her daughter, Miss Abby Beveridge, now studying sculpture in Munich. The collection of oil portraits to be exhibited here includes these portraits, as well as several of Mrs. Bartlett's daughter, Evelyn Lilly, and of Mr. Bartlett. £ixty-flve oil paintings of portraits, flowers and still life, as well as water colors are being hung. At the reception tomorrow during the opening view Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett will be honored. Mrs. Bowman Elder, Mrs. Bartlett’s sister, is a member of the committee. Mrs. Bartlett is a sister of Russell Fortune. While in Indianapolis Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Elder at their country home in Traders Point. Mrs. Perry O'Neal went to Chicago Thursday night to act as one of the judges in the garden and flower show sponsored on navy pier by the Garden Club of Illinois. Mrs. O'Neal was anticipating seeing Mrs. J. Ogden Armour's array of many kinds of greenhouse plants. Her exhibits have won blue ribbons since the garden shows began. Mrs. Armour's daughter, Mrs. John J. Mitchell, has entered a replica of the Mitchell Japanese garden in Monticito. It was rushed to Chicago from the Santa Barbara show r in a special private baggage car in time for yesterday's preview. Many Evergreens Used % Into a nine-foot square plot, Mrs. Mitchell's Japanese gardener has reproduced the garden which covers acres at El Mirasol. It includes forty-three varieties of dwarf evergreens. Entrance to the pier is a formal Italian garden with a high formal hedge around it, and a pool with water lilies floating on the surface. Warren Wright is one of the few men exhibitors and his showing includes plants from his Palm Beach estate. Chatelaines of large estates exhibit along with suburban gardeners.

Lounge of Riding Stable at Home Show Equipped With Hacienda Furniture Exclusive Ayres Line Combines Spanish' Provincial and Indian Mexican Motifs of Design. BY HELEN LINDSAY HACIENDA furniture, adaptable to many informal settings, has been used In furnishing the lounge in connection with the riding stable at the Home Complete Exposition. The furniture, exclusive with Ayres, is a hybrid of Spanish provincial and Indian Mexican. It is modern in. its simplicity, as well as in the brilliant use of color. The lounge has been designed for the comfort of wean,’ riders. At one end is a huge fireplace of crude brick, in which real logs burn. The walls are done in knotty pine wood-grained sheetrock. with beams and exposed wooden parts in darker brown. The cement floor has been

painted brown, and is covered with an Indian drugget rug. Built-in shelves reveal silver trophy cups, medals and ribbons. At one side of the fireplace is a shelved bar. reminiscent of sixteenth and seventeenth century Mexican chests! The bar is of Philippine mahogany. It is highly decorated, with a copper-lined drop leaf. The same wood is seen in the low coffee and drinking table, made with a copper top. Other furniture in the lounge Includes a deepseated sofa and chairs in natural color wood and uphostery. A game set is shown for entertainment of relaxing riders. This is the first year that stables have been included in the setting of the exposition. They are indicative of the increased interest in horseback riding and hunting in Indianapolis. Horses from Algonquin, Meridian Hills, the Indianapolis Saddle Club and Bob Brown riding stables will be on exhibition in

the stables all week. In niches at the side are displays of riding gear and other equipment. tt tt tt a a a Katharine Hepburn Wears Blue NAVY blue was the selection of Katharine Hepburn as her return costume for her recent startling four-day trip to Paris. When Miss Hepburn debarked from the liner, commenting that it "was amusing to return in the same stateroom” in which she made the trip to Paris, she wore a navy blue ensemble. Her dress was a navy blue crepe, with front button closing, and a slightly rippled collar of navy and white striped taffeta. Over this dress she wore a fine-striped navy blue refer, fitted closely, and flaring at the hemline. The coat had wide revers and a notched collar. Miss Hepburn’s hat was a close-fitting, forward-tilted beret, of navy blue straw fabric. tt tt tt a a a New Preparation for Beauty Bath BEAUTY BATHS are believed to be the oldest form of beautification. Popped, Nero’s lovely bride, is said to have bathed daily in gallons of milk from a herd of asses which followed her wherever she went. Mary, queen of Scots, bathed in Malmsey wine, and Aspasia, consort of Pericles, massaged her body with perfumed unguents. The modern version of these beauty baths is seen in anew bath essence, “Enchante Bath Essence,” which Madame Helena Rubinstein brought back from hep most recent trip to her laboratories abroad. The essence is a liquid, made in Grasse. France, where many of the finest perfumes originated. Only a few drops of it are necessary for the daily tub. a o a a o a Two-Purpose Cream Offered MADAME RUBINSTEIN has other new discoveries which she introduces in her New York salons upon her arrival from Paris. One is Herbal cleansing cream, a two-purpose cream, intended for cleansing and feeding tissues. With this, she advocates the use of Herbal muscle oil, for the correction of sagging muscles and imbedded crow's feet. In addition to these preparations, a Hormone beauty mask has been added to the Rubinstein preparations. The mask is heated to a semiliquid form, and applied to the face and neck with a brush. It is intended to give the face a rapid “rest cure.” The new Rubinstein cosmetics are available at Ayres’ and Block’s.
