more calculated To compel attention and

strating that the artistic improvement of
those industries which admit of IL is OF
real concern to the layman; affecting him
in two ways, by adding beauty TO his
home and by furthering the development
of American commerce.
1T is a notable circumstance when lay
men start an exhibition for the purpose
Of arousing interest In matter so
charged with consequences, and the busi-

another direction.
