A Visit to a Curio Collection On Thursday afternoon, the Literary Department of the American Woman's Club had a second oppor.' tunity to see the beautiful collection of curios in the home of Mr. Edward Ezra on Avenue Joffre. About 20 of the women were there and they were met and entertained by Miss Sopher, Mrs. Ezra's sister, as Mrs. Ezra was itor well and could not appear. Tea was served to the women after which they were taken through the house to see the Chinese porcelains, green' and white jade carvings, and lovely enamels. There was an especially, beautiful carving in pink quartz and some of the enamels were especially interesting in that they were without metal bases. These were some modern transparent, Japanese enamels with floral designs and the fact that the usual bases were absent made them look like beautiful glass. There were-also two very beautiful and very old enamel jars, copper-coloured and bine, of great value.
Miss Senhor also showed the wame Mrs. Ezra's beautiful nurseries where orchids, begonias, poinsettias, and even the early sweet pea, are in bloom.
The Literary Department will meet again this afternoon for its regular meeting when Miss Ger-trade Oldroyd and Mrs. -F. J. White will treat the subjects of the Temples of Tai Shan and the Temples of Pootoo.
