BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS

by an Ann Arbor Artist Shown in Kalamazoo.

Mrs. C. M. Stone, of 416 S. Fifth ave., is a very fine painter of tapestry and has recently painted some very fine works, one in especial, a hunting scene, being particularly life like. The Kalamazoo Telegraph speaks of two of her paintings as follows:

A couple of large pictures are to be noticed in Brownson & Rankin's window that are worthy of more than a passing notice; they are beautiful works of art, as beautiful in the sentiment of their teaching as in color and form. They are the work of Mrs. C. M. Stone, of Ann Arbor. The largest one is called "The Sister." It represents two young girls seated in the open the elder evidently talking over with the little girl a nature lesson. The child holds in her hand a flower about which she is talking with her sister and is greatly delighted. But she sees only its external beauty. The sister, elder by 10 years perhaps, holds in her hand a butterfly which she shows to the little one. Her soul evidently, has awakened. The contrast in this respect in the two is a lesson worth studying. This would be a beautiful picture for a school room and would furnish many enforcements which book lessons would suggest. The other picture is called "The Lady of the Lily. " It is no less a work of fine art and it also will afford a beautiful school lesson. A great deal is being done now for the decoration of school rooms with real works of art.
