Of applied art, with the possible exception Of stained

efforts which have been made 10 encourage wool cary
ing. It would not be Inappropriate In one senss
TO illustrate the work OF American sIgersmiths but
this would probably be regarded a.
foreign to the Immediate purpose Of
the League exhibitions. These exhibitions
have offered some admirable illustrations Of American
pen and ink work, notably the drawings by Mr.. Blum
and since the Samagndi Club has given up public ex
bIbtons IL is much to be desired that should Ia
done i'm this direction. The League exhibitions are
primarily professional and their limits obvious al
though these exhibitions have been made compnehen.
slve and generally instructive and valuable.
The American Art Association wish to inform tho
nuhIic that the exhibition Of Baryes work and tho
Hundred Masterpieces will not be seen in any Other
city, The purpose OF this exhibition has been ex-
planed repeatedly and It has been stated that his
works lent through the generosity Of private ovnen
would be returned 10 them a. soon a. ms exhibition
Closes which will be about the middle OF January.
Nevertheless there seems to be belief that the vhOs
exhibition will be transferred to other cities IL may b
we'll to repeat that the only opportunity TO see this mag
nifcent exhibition IS that offered in this city up 10
January H. The very few pictures which ar con
tributed by dealers may possibly be seen again. and
one Millet's "Angelus,' IS to be taken throuan ne
country for public exhibition. But nearly all ths
paintings and bronzes belong to private cohscoh,
who in most cases, find 1t impossible 10 open 'af
homes TO the public. 1t is apparent thar no o@ Sho
is interested in art can afford TO neglect this eXSsa
