One of the liveliest rows which charita-
| Bly, inclined society has had on its hands
for many a day has developed at the va
| rlous meetings held for the past month to
make arrangements for a coming loan exhi-
bftfon. Everything went along swimminsly
lor winnie so far as the prospects OF a
splendid showing of rare Iaces. Jewels and
! other artistic treasures were concerned
washington has quantities of such things
ard for good cause is quite willing to let
the public eve feast upon them Those
primarily interested in the affair were gem
| tlemen and ladies whose opinion in any
| question of morals or art would hold any
where: The first note of diseord came when
resolution was offered to provide for two
Suncay openings of the exhibition at re-
drced prices. This raised such a commo-
tlon that it divided the meeting in oppos-
ing FACTIONS. neither of whom has laid
| down its arms since. The example offered
| in the opening Of the Corcoran Gallery of
| Art was cited but the Sunday observance
element bitterly opposed the plan, and in
consequence the meeting broke up in worse
confusion than ever. The Sunday-ciosing
party got to work SO strenuously that some
| or the would-be exhibitors, fearful of an
tagoniZing the church authorities with
| drew their offers of loans Rather than
seemingly sacrifice the greater good for
/ their individual opinions, however strongly
hacked up, the opposition to Sunday open
| ing backed water, and the incident was
closed The bad blood. however, which the
discussion had naturally brought to the
surface did not subside. and the subsequent
meetings have been so lively i'm the ex-
change of personalities that their echoes
have reached society in all its ran,ifica-
| tons, and have proved most interesting
topic.
