The last presidential campaign furnished
material for a large number of the car

with political situations Of rather recent
date There are quite a number OF draw

general action of the picture has substi-
tuted for the figures some OF the politi-
clans of the day. He had a knack OF maxi

community is desired. 1t is d matter " hlch
all should be deeply interested in as the
success of the plan will do much to elevate
the standard of art in Washington. IL the
society receives the needed support in this
enterprise, 1t can secure a building on Con-
necticut avenue near l. street, which can be
remodeied at a small expense into a thor
oughly equipped, well-lt gallery. The wall
space will be about twice that of the Cos
mos Club rooms, which have been Used for
several years past, and the Increased
amount Of room will permit the society to
solicit contributions from artists of high
standing throughout the country.
The influence of the best art, which Will
be brought here. will be valuable In educat-
ing the public taste. and in stimulating the
artists to higher aims. Besides the large
annual exhibitions, the individual exhibits
of local artists and painters from other
cities will be held here, and the society will
encourage the public exhibition of archtec-
tural designs and the work of illustrators.
The society can depend for only a small
part OF the funds needed upon the admis-
slcn charged at the exhibitions, and wishes
the help of all those interested in the
growth OF art in this city. An associate
mem membership has been created. the annual
DIES for member being ten dollars, the
dues for ten years fifty dollars, and life
membership one hundred dollars
The associate members will have free ac-
