Association filled the auditorium of the McLaughlin Public Library to capacity on Monday. Potted pink geraniums centered many tables and edged the stage on which two paintings iby Alexandra Like were dis- played on easiles. Following the tribute to Alex- andra Luke, Miss Margaret) Ness, free-lance writer and) fashion editor engaged her lis-| teners with a discourse on) fashion through the ages. Until the 1920's, she said, women had never shown their knees, Nip- ples had been uncovered in medieval times, so the topless swimsuit was not really new, but to expose the knees was revo-) lutionary. "Clothes were first of all a cover from the elements," she noted. 'Then the Greeks intro- duced graceful draperies; |Romar women went farther with la bloused' effect. Lyceum Club Pays Tribute To Artist, Alexandra Luke At its annual luncheon on Monday the Lyceum Club and Women's Art Association paid a signal tribute to a charter mem- ber, Mrs. C. Ewart McLaughlin known in international art circles as Alexandra Luke, a painter in oil and water-color, and on the motion of Mrs. R. Leo Gray, the membership voted unanimously to purchase a Luke painting to be hung in a public building in Oshawa. Mrs. R. A. Wallace, who pre- sided for the luncheon reminded members and guests that Mrs. McLaughlin had been the con- vener of the Art Group of the club for many years and had | arranged a number of local ety »» hibits. She also founded the ceramic group and started the Saturday Morning Art Classes for Children which were well- attended from 1933 to 1939. A personal friend and fellow artist, Yvonne McKague Hous- eer, spoke of the creative| energy Alexandra Luke had! brought to her work. She studied) painting at Banff School of Fine| Art under A. Y.

This she accomplished in an amazingly short time. In any ex- hibition of painting, Alexandra Luke's work stands out with its lovely color and lyrical beauty. In fact, she, as a person, shines through her painting and just] as one is the better for knowing} her, one gets a spiritual lift from} her painting." In 1952 Alexandra Luke organ- ized the first exhibition of ab- stract art in Ontario. After its first showing in Adelaide House,| Oshawa, it travelled all over Canada.
