Arts Club Begins New Year With Memorial Exhibit of The Late Honore Palmer Jr.

The Walter Chryslers Jr. Here from New York and Honore Palmer from Florida for Tea; 
Two Other Collections Shown.

THE Arts Club began the new year with one of its most distinguished parties. It was a tea yesterday to open three shows, and it brought to Chicago the Walter Chryslers Jr. from New York and Honore Palmer from Florida - the latter to spend the day with his brother and sister-in-law, the Potter Palmers, and to attend the memorial exhibition of 15 paintings by his son, the late Honore Palmer Jr. To Chicagoans that exhibit was most interesting of the three, for many who saw it had known the young Mr. Palmer before he went to New York to paint five years ago and were amazed to discover how great his talents had been.

The Chryslers brought their collection of Pablo Picasso drawings and six of the 34 Juan Gris abstractions. One of the 34 has been loaned by Mrs. Charles B. Goodspeed, another by John Storrs, and a third by Frederic Clay Bartlett of Manchester, Vt., a former Chicagoan.

Mrs. Chrysler, on her first visit here since her marriage, wore a simple cyclamen red dress and black sailor hat with white wings perched on it. The most spectacular hat at the tea was Mrs. Waldo Logan's - a fuchsia colored crepe turban with a wimple fitting closely around her face and under her chin. 

Both Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer were at the tea with their daughter Pauline and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Potter Palmer III - Mrs. Palmer Sr. in black wearing a toque that had a cocoa brown snood and scarves, Mrs. Palmer Jr. in a pink metallic turban, and Miss Palmer in a little scoop-brimmed black hat covered with white flowers.
Stanley Fields Attend
The Stanley Fields came in from Lake Forest for the afternoon with their daughters, Mrs. Clifford Rodman and Mrs. Russell P. Kelley, and from Winnetka were Mrs. William B. Hale, in a Roman-striped metallic blouse and black velvet skirt and her sister, Mrs. William Gold Hibbard.

Official hostesses for the afternoon, Mrs. Goodspeed, the president, was dressed in a black velvet skirt, diagonally tucked white shirtwaist and a little black pancake hat with a curl of white feather on it, and Mrs. John Paul Welling, the social chairman, in all black but for a wide girdle of cerise crepe.
Mrs. E. R. Litsinger in Purple.
Others at the tea were Mrs. Edward R. Litsinger in purple, Mrs. Edward A. Leight, in a rose lame dress, Mrs. John W. Gary, Mrs. Gabrielle Slaughter who took her turn presiding at the tea table which was effectively decorated with a milk-white urn of fushsia snapdragons and white Easter lilies; the Chauncey McCormicks, Mrs. John Alden Carpenter, Mrs. Frederick Preston, Mrs. Ralph Winston, the senior and junior Mrs. George Poole, and Mrs. Howard Fenton.
