The national feature Of THE 4LDINE must be taken
in no sense. True art is cosmopolitan While
THE 4LDINE is strictly American institution, 1t does
art Its mission to cultivate broad and apprecative
art TASTE that will discriminate only grounds of
intrinsic merit Thus, while placing before the patrons
Of THE ALDLNE, leading characteristic the pro-
auctions OF noted American artists attention
will always be given specimens from foreign masters

work confines the artist too closely to single style OF
graceful accompaniment worthy Of the artistic features
with only such technical dispositions do not inter-
