The Chapin exhibit for March and April is concerned with the work of William Blake as painter and engraver. One original is shown, "Illustrations of the Book, of Job." The other items are reproductions. Two of these, "Songs of Innocence" and "The Book of Thel," are examples of that process which Blake called "Illuminated Printing." In tills, Blake laboriously engraved the pages, both text and decorations, upon copper plates, from which impressions were printed in monochrome.

These were then tinted in water-color by the artist or his wife, and thus each copy had its own individuality. "The Canterbury Pilgrims" and "The Ancient of Days," the latter in magnificent color, are shown, as well as a copy of a delicate pencil drawing of Blake, done by his wife. The other cases contain 12 reproductions, seven of them in vivid color, of Blake's designs for Dante's "Divine Comedy." The exhibit Is sufficiently Inclusive to show the breadth of variety to be found in the artist's work. The extraordinary conceptions embodied in the several items put one hi mind of his own saying: "He who does not imagine in stronger and better lineaments and in stronger and better light, than his perishing mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all."

DEMPSEY IS PRESENTED GIFT By High School Faculty Upon Relinquishing Teaching Post Will Assume Duties as Postmistress Soon. Mrs. Mary L. Dempsey, who was appointed postmistress of Williamstown on the 5lli of this month, completed her services as head of, the Commercial department of Wil- llamstown high school the close of the school week yesterday afternoon. Her resignation, which was submitted shortly after she was named to the postoffice position, did not become effective until yesterday and in the meantime Mrs.

Dempsey had continued her teaching duties. In recognition of her long and valuable service as a member of the school faculty and also as a token of their esteem and friendship, her associates on faculty presented Mrs, Dempsey with a beautilul handbag at the close of her classes on Thursday, and all wished her the best of success in her new field. Mrs. Dempsey expressed the pleasure she had derived from her association with the faculty members and thanked them for their gift. Mrs.

Dempsey was unable to say just when she will begin her duties as postmistress as she is waiting for her commission to arrive from Washington. She has been officially notified of her appointment and has complied with the legal requirements, such as securing a bond. The bond has been sent to Washington as required and all that is needed for her to become head of the post- office in place ot Robert A. Stacy, postmaster since 1930, is the commission. Ordinarily, the time between the return of the bond to Washington and the receipt of the commission is not very long.

Therefore, it is believed that Mrs. Dempsey will officially become postmistress within few days. Mr. Stacy, who has been holdover official since 1934 as a result of the differences among leading Democrats in Williamstown relative to the appointment, has conferred with Mrs. Dempsey on several occasions since her appointment nnd lias been instructing her on much of the work connected with the position.

When Mrs. Dempsey finally takes over thd position, Mr. Stacy expects to return to the man-cement of his store. The committee, it was stated this morning by one of its members, will probably not act on the matter of naming a to Mrs. Dempsey until its next regular meeting on March 17th.
