FEAST OF ART
EXHIBITION BY MISS TREFUSIS
OPENED BY MRS. SOUTHORN
"A feast of Art" was how Mrs. W. T. Southorn described the exhibition of gouache and oil paintings by Miss Tréfuels which she officially opened at the Glouce- ster Buliding this morning,
Miss Trefusls needs no introduc- tion to the English people of the Colony. At Home, her reputation as an artist is fully established and since she began her present tour nearly two years ago, that reputation has spread to many other countries.
The exhibition is undoubtedly one of the finest that Hongkong has been privileged to see. One
