Loan Exhibition Textiles And Metals

A unique and interesting entertainment is in store for the people of Ann Arbor in the coming exhibition of oriental rugs, other textiles and metals, to be held at Harris hall on the afternoons and evenings of December 3 and 4, for the benefit of the Ladies' Library. The collection will be not only beautiful but educational, as it is hoped to secure enough specimens of a type to help one easily to identify like articles in the future. For further aid in identification and information a full descriptive catalogue (in charge of Mrs. Lombard) will be issued. One hundred of these catalogues will have hand-decorated covers and be well worth preserving. The exhibition of metals will consist of articles in brass, copper, iron, pewter, gold and silver, including a collection of quaint old-fashioned jewelry of foreign and domestic manufacture, which promises to be full of interest in contrast with our modern adornments of jewelry. The committee having the matter in charge, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Zimmermann, hope also to have some pretty oriental dances in native costumes for the evening entertainments.
