The shell paint- ings had a great sale, and in the next three months the artists made a little over $1,200, and didn't work very hard either, At the end of that period com- petition cut the price in half again and they want out or the bLusiness, but it was a great snap for the amateurs while it lasted, ~A costume of hand-made camel's hair, in stripes of admiralty blue and mundone, was cut as a polonalise, with yoke of velvet and fichu vest, The latter was drawn together at the waist by a belt which took its rise from the skirt drapery and fastened with clasps and ends on one side.
