are made especially attractive by the
artistic arrangement Of the various ex-
hibits, and one of them is cozily fitted
up as reception room.
The visitor will be impressed by the,
Industrial character of the work. The
aim of the school seems to be TO give
a good foundation In the principles OF
drawing, ana, in order to facilitate
this, the students work from casts and
natural objects. The charcoal studies.
In particular, show the direct result al
the cast drawing. One of the bes.l
models shown is that OF Atlas. Il isl

Guarantee Loan Association had Of
fees in Pennsylvania. and that the law
of that State requires a certain per
cent. Of lapsed moneys returned to
the member. In the case of the Loan
Association the Bankers Association

the local association managers to the
fact that the Pennsylvania law was
not being complied with. and to save
themselves from possible prosecution
the officers closed out the Pennsylvania
business in that State to an associa

good terms, and the members Of the
association were simply transferred
