A friend writes us: iiMiss Creager I know personally, and it affords me a great deal of pleasure to say that she is one of the most cultured women that I have ever come in contact with. She is as fine a teacher of Art as is em- ployed in any young ladies college. Her advantages have ' been superior and the fact that she has been able to teach in centers like Baltimore and Washington indicates merit of the highest order. Her China and Tapestry work is pronounced by the finest judges to be exquisite, and indeed she would make a reputation for herself along this line as well as along the lines of higher Art, that should be .most gratifying to her.
