Show Wisconsin Women's Work. In a lecture at Milwaukee on "Decorative "Deco-rative and Applied Art," Mrs. Candace Wheeler, after explaining the art sense of the word "original," as "a novelty which is not common," concluded by saying: "In all the ceramic art in America Amer-ica brought together at the YvTorld's fair, the only original thing came from Milwaukee. It was a gray stoneware jug, and it is worth 1 cent a pound in its manufactured state, but the skill of the worker made it worth 1,000 cents a pound." Afterward, Mrs. Wheeler, as one of the committee of award, announced an-nounced that Miss Nellie Mears' "Genius of Wisconsin," which had stood in the Wisconsin state building, had won the prize offered by the Woman's club for the most artistic production displayed at the World's fair by a Wisconsin woman. |
