Now stationed at Camp Borden, Canada, whose home is at 289 Parkside Avenue, Brooklyn. Interesting Exhibition at Ardsley Studios At Ardsley Studios, 110 Columbia Heights, Hamilton Easter Field has inaugurated an exhibition of work by a number of independent artists which is to remain open all summer.

In the entrance hall are two striking heads by Mr. Field and a brilliantly colored Greek landscape by Maurice Sterne. On entering the east room the most noticeable picture is a beach scene by William J. Boylan-a Brooklyn artist of talent--and four paintings by Thomas Bodner, another Brooklynite. His work is very naive and, at times, almost childish, but "Good Bye, God Bless You," a picture of a young girl waving her handkerchief to a troup of departing soldiers, is a very.

lovely bit of painting. Theodore Earl Butler has a charming landscape painted from his studio at Giverny, where he has lived so many years in close companionship with his father-in-law, Claude Monet. James Butler, the son, born in Giverny and brought up in France, has two autumn landscapes and two still-lifes. They show an excellent sense of color. 'In the east room there is also a decorative panel by Stuart Davis in orange and violet entitled "Backyard Gloucester" and an interior by Mr.

Field. The middle room is devoted to modernism save for a poetic landscape, "Boulders in the Brook," by Howard Notman and John La Farge's "Samoan Landscape." Robert Laurent, who is now with our forces in France, 'has a strong drawing of a black and tan dog named "Sari." The paintings by show talent and a fine color sense, but such distortion of the human form seems needless. Piot has a very beautiful flower study, "Iris." In the west room Miss Julia Kelly has three paintings which are very disconcerting. She has painted an ugly brick church with back-yards-a subject which seems quite impossible, and has made out of it what is all but a thing of beauty. Her work is very vital and original but it does not conform to existing conceptions of beauty.

There's an interior by Mr. Field with three figures, "Celt, Frank, Anglo-Saxon," a fine color harmony in blues and grays. The entire show is well arranged and gives each work of art the space so lacking in most modern exhibitions. Prize Doll Contest" at Mrs. Clarence Hyde's.

The "Prize Doll Show Contest" which is to be held on Saturday afternoon, May eleventh, at the home of Mrs. Clarence R. Hyde, 242 Henry Street, is in charge of Mrs. Gordon Gibson and Mrs. Hyde, two of the members of the Guild of the Long Island College Hospital, and promises to be a very delightful affair.

Miss Florence Chauncey is lending a charming replica of a Dutch scene, showing dolls dressed in the different costumes worn by the people of Holland. There is a meadow where cows will be found peacefully grazing beside the canal, which is so typical of Holland. It is a delightfully clever piece of work and most interesting. There will be prizes for the best baby doll, the best little girl doll, the best in a general class, the best old doll. "General Pershing" will be in charge of the dolls and any one may purchase him who is successful in locating him on the map of France.

The committee has been asked to keep the "show" open three afternoons and the hours will from two until six o'clock..
