By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON A matchless delicacy attaches itself to the fine collec-
tion of French and German porcelains placed on display, The rare
pieces, which were the property of the late Mrs. Marshall Field, have been loaned to the museum for several months
by Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge. Composed for the most partéof 18th Century French and German porcelains, the exhibit also includes a few English and Swiss pieces and a collection of small 18th and 19th Century boxes—some daintily set with jewels. __ . ~ “LE If you've a.passion for. heavenly blue you'll make a bee-ling for the case in the morthwest corner where one lovely rofe du Barry plate contrasts with the predominately indigo shadings of the other china. In bleu celeste are a small pair of flower pots, a pair of egg cups, a pair of two-handled cups and ecuelle beneath which is a cabaret of six pieces of bleu celeste and oeil de perdrix painted by Fontaine in 1770. Two marquetry pieces on the north wall held 18th Century flower pots. One exquisite pot is of the bleu celeste predominant in the adjacent case. 4 An allegorical group commemorating the restoration of health of the Kurfursten Karl Theodore in the year 1774 is the focal point of the display. The rare piece was made at the Frankenthal Porcelain Works under the direction of Simon Feylner. On either side enhancing the delicate beauty of the porcelain figures are early Meissen ornamental vases filled with dainty bouquets. From the Lady Adderley collection are two gros bleu jardinieres painted by Francois Aloncle in 1772. A fragile cup and saucer in jonquille yellow was painted by Bertrand, master of the Streublumen. On the cover of a German soup tureen with the mark of Wilhelm von Rotberg is a remarkable half lemon with two loose slices. There's a lovely pair of white china cows and the horses are particularly nice. ‘The exhibit includes 120 pieces. 2 8 = ® 5 =
The great artists of all times have used the field of medicine for their subjects, according fo Dr. Edgar F. Kiser, who discussed «Medicine as Depicted in Classic Art” in the last of a series of talks sponsored by the Indiananolis Art Association in connection with
A the hobby fair which closed yesterday at the museum.
: owledge of anatomy is an integral part of the artist's edutie lodge said. “The painter of Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smile must have been an anatomist, physiologist and psychologist.” . Ancient Greek friezes reveal physicians examining patients; early vases show physicians opening veins and a pottery. bowl of 500 B.

Mrs. Fellowes
: Marina
(Copyright, 1938, by United Press) PARIS, Feb, 21.—The Duchess of Windsor, for the second consecutive year, was named today the world’s
Paris’ most famous dressmakers, The Baltimore woman, who in June celebrates the first anniversary of her marriage to former King Edward, was the unanimous choice for head of a list of 10 internationally known socialites, who were chosen not for beauty alone but for taste and individuality. The rankings were:
1. The Duchess of Windsor. 2. The Duchess of Kent. 3. Begum Aga Khan. 4. Baronne Leo D’Erlanger. 5. Hon. Mrs. Reginald Fellowes.
7. Mrs. Harrison Williams. 8. Mrs. Millicent Rogers Balcom. 9.. Countess Barbara von Haugh-witz-Reventlow. 10. Lady Louis Mountbatten.
The Duchess of Windsor celebrated her second triumph by appearing at the farewell reception for American Ambassador William C. Bullitt in a simple white crepe, square necked and barely decollete gown. It barely skimmed the floor with straight paneled folds. The dress was trimmed with only two bands of gold embroidery, which started at the waistline and came down in a curve over her hips. She wore a tiara of diamonds and emeralds, ‘thie most recent gift" of the Duke and considered one of the finest pieces of modern jewelry seen in Paris in recent years. ‘A thin strand of diamonds and emeralds at her thrcat completed her costume. ; Blue Not Favorite Color
“Wallis blue” is not her favorite
noon and white for evening, For morning she likes tailored suits ‘which set off her figure to best advantage. Her shoes, to which she pays spe-
1 cial attention, show off her slim d | ankles and she. is always perfectly
turned out with not a wrinkle in her clothes or a hair out of place. Marina, Duchess of Kent, is now in mourning for her father, the late Prince Nicolas, of Greece, and probably will not be seen frequently this year at fashionable events. Black, however, is one of her favorite colors and her clothes are always simply tailored even for
evening. ‘sel “Brilliant Accessories
She likes to offset this simplicity with brilliant’ accessories, like jeweled handbags and she favors hats that are large and shallow crowned without at the same time being eccentric. Begum Aga Khan, the former ‘French milliner, who was marfied

Of medium height and slender, she enhances her brown eyes and hair, with brown clothes although she sometimes wears dead white or black or a brilliant green. Her pearls and other jewels are among the most famous in the world and she loves furs. : /

Senior Class At St. Agnes To Give Play
‘Annie Laurie’ Production Set for St. Vincent | Nurses’ Home.
Rehearsals have been under way for the past few weeks for St. Agnes Academy’s senior class play, “Annie Laue,” a romantic drama in three acts.
8:15 p. m. Wednesday and Thursday in St. Vincent Hospital's Nurses
Mrs. Fellowes is particularly fa- |HQUE. provided by the
mous the world over for her sports clothes. She is short and dark and her slender boyish figure also makes it easy for her to wear eccentric costumes which she prefers for afternoon and evening wear. Baroness De Rothschild is the former Kitty Spottiswood of Virginia. She was hostess to the Windsors. at her Austrian mountain estate. She has a beautiful collection of diamond jewelry and sets off her statuesque blond beauty with black and.shades of green, varying from the palest almond to the deepest hunter green. Lady Mountbatten is considered the best-dressed English | woman. She has just ordered an all-sequin suit for evening and prefers tailored dresses for daytime. Her: skirts are short. Baronne of Younger Set
Baronne D’Erlanger, the former Edythe Baker of the United States, is one of the younger best dressed beauties. Very dark, she parts her hair simply in the middle, She wears tailored clothes and avoids elaborate jewelry, choosing ‘only simple pieces. Mrs. Balcom favors Tyrolean sports outfits. She is tall and has a schoolgirl complexion and more: clothes than she knows what to do with. Countess von Haughwitz-Revent-low, the former Barbara Hutton, is more beautiful than ever, her friends ‘say, now that she has changed her coiffure and wears her hair high on her head. She prefers white for evening and diamonds. SE ————————
