However. notwithstanding these distin-

art shown in Paris this year will prove
that this country is at last able to present

The Tenth Annual.
There is much hustling and excitement
about the local studios at present, for just
zone week remains in which to finish the
important pictures which are to make mp
the annual exhibition of the Society OF
Washington Artists.
Discouraging as some of tho previous
shows have been. the arg.sts invariably
gather themselves together and paint pic
lures for the annual" and paint them
with as much enthusiasm as if they were
sure of great things. 1t is pleasant to
record that the prospects this year are
more than usually good for high class
exhibition and substantial patronage.
Every year the interest grows. The pubic
becomes better acquainted with the new
Connecticut Avenue galleries, and each
year the attendance is some y nat larger
than the last.
There has been a wave OF prosperity
over the country and people seem to be
buying pictures. This buying feature is
an important matter. Most of our artists

Deft weavers OF the Old Sod Tnrn ou

Just year ago some manufacturers
of artistic textiles touring In Donegal
resolved on establishing place for the
making Of hand-tufted carpets OF the
description generally known us turk
ish" or Persian" The peculiarity OF
this fabric Is that from It's nature 1t
must be hand production. The tufts
are tied by the fingers In knots In longl-
tudinal warps. which are stretched be-
tween two long parallel beams. The
carpets are made TO the size and shape
Of any room. The design IL placed in
front. and the girls. from three to a
dozen. according to the size of the car
pet, select the colors' indicated row by
row. which are tied. then bound down
by "shoots" of wooden weft drawn
across the entire width and beaten firm
by small iron-toothed hammers. There
IL interesting variety and pleasure In
the work. aud II Is such that individual
skill and workmanship como largely
into play. Altogether, 1t Is just such an
industry as Is suited to the rural dis
tricts OF Ireland. No steam power IL
required. and there is therefore no han
,dicap on the commercial side by the
absence Of coal.
The first years experiment with the
Irish girls has proved that they are adj
|ImirabIy adapted for the work. The
girls show a nlmbleness OF fingers aud
sharpness OF eye for color and form
that have quite astonlshed their teach
,ers, and they take to the work with a
spirit and cheerfulness quite refresh
ing. So convinced are the promoters
of IT'S ultimate success that they have
planned out broad scheme that will
espread the work all over the west OF
Ireland and give employment to many
hundreds OF girls and boys.-London
