They wore clothes of various types which they designed, and made for themselves, and which they wear to display in the store. They were lovely, Ann. It Is hard to believe that one can design and make such clothes. They were Inexpensive, too, but they must surely have meant hours of work. Both of the girls explained the designing and the making as they modeled, and also explained their work in OUnber as stylists.

The work which they are doing would be good experience frr anyone interested In that line of work.

STRENGTH IS SHOWN A one man showing of the works of Frank E. Schoonover, nationally known illustrator, drew more than 450 socially prominent people to the galleries of the Wilmington Society of Fine Arts last evening. The occasion was the private showing for members and friends of the society.

The exhibition will continue and Is open to the public each week day from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M. and Sunday after noons from 3 to 6 until Wednesday, March 26.

The subject matter of Mr. Schoon- over's canvases varied widely in form, but all portrayed a concrete presentation of object or person that trait which has made this artist universal ly admired. It Is a kind of strength for which Mr. Schoonover Is known and was shown to special advantage last evening In his interpretations of northern life and a series on Abraham Lincoln. Of particular attraction was "The Water Trail," which pictured a group or rugged men towing a heavily loaded canoe up a steep mountain water trail.

The colors here were modulated but the outline of the figures was distinct. It Is a thing mirrored from life in a comparatively unsettled country and reveals that combination of ro mance and struggle which is found only on pioneer frontiers. Miss Tukey announced that the canvas was sold ast evening. Schoonover excels In his interpre tation of northern life and primitive peoples and It is not pt ranee that hose pictures drew particular atten tion last evening. Placed in the center of an Interest ing group on the far side of the mom was a canvas that stood out "lied Blanket Sail." Using a red blanket for a sail there huddled a group of Tndian fisures in the cance.

in the bow sat a brave, however such a brave as time and the advance of civilization could not daunt the courage of. Many other pictures of Indian life and northern life as Schoonover lound it in a vi.it there drew forth the of the group last evening. Another group of pictures much admired were six drawings depicting scenes in the life of Abraham Lincoln which Schoonover drew for a Holiday Edition of Lincoln published by the Pcnn Company of Philadelphia. These honest Abe as he told his philosophy of life in the days cf his country clerkship; of his favorite perch on the top of an old fence rail; of his trip down the Mississippi; and of Ids courtship with Mary Todd. A group that would draw forth the unbounded enthusiasm of children was h's interpretation of characters In the land cf story and imagination.

Here, as in his painting a fairy, one flnds When he is painting a fairy, one finds it on the canvas rather than find Just the suggestion of Its appearance. Many of these illustrations were painted for recent editions of age old children's classics, a number of which Wfre also on exhibition last evening. Among them were "Heidie," "The Duck Brines the Key of the Wish House." "Contest Between Robin Hood and Little John." "The Underground Fairies." "The Fairy Butterfly." and "Robinson Crusoe," and a senes on Scott's Ivanhoe. "The Grasshopper and the Ant," placed In the center in the rear of the room, might be said to be the imaginative type. It shows what a world there might be beneath the shadow of a clover bloom with the mighty grasshopper lording it over the wee small ant.

With distinctive beauty 5s painted, as in background for the Insect folk, the time clock ball of a dandelion plant and spreading dandelion leaves. This picture comes as near the fantastic as Schoonover achieves but still retains his characteristic quality of reality. Two pictures of the Great War drew the admiring attention of the large group last These were: "Doughboys First," and "How Twenty Marines Took Bouresches." Schoonover once experienced snow blindness and the feeling of utter helplessness and intense pain was shown to those attending the exhibit through the medium of the painter's brush. The man. rendered nearly blind, apparently at the stage pictured, still holds one hand tight-pressed over his eyes to shut out the dazzling glare of the sunlight upon the glistening snow.

Of especial local interest are the sketches for the Charlotte Bothwell Bancroft Memorial Window. Im-manuel Church, of this city. In addition to the five sketches there is a plictograph of the window as Installed. This is the first time that Mr. Schoonover has had some of his outstanding works assembled in a "one man show" Ln the Pyle Galleries, and only two other artists have had such showings of their works here; namely.
