There 10 nothing more surprising than
the extraordinary talent for decoration
which the Americans are all OF a sud

1t with great force. In all art the de-

art il is subject and decorations; and in
some kinds a third idea has TO be kept

persons no have sent such lovely little
gems of water colors that they must be

good designers and good water colOrists.
But they have overlooked the absolute
necessity of marrying their design TO

some of the figure drawing that these

do well TO visit the exhibition and study

have sent lovely things, but who have
ignored the fact that the cards have
