Tor sale. Whenever two subscribers to
the museum met they talked Of that. OF
all the galleries in the museum the most
attractive to visitors was the one devoted
to the Garland tapestries.
An art dealer sighed and said: "Ch,
how deplorable is the advertisement that
has been made CT the collections valuea
1t is inaccessible now to art dealers" He
was frank; but other dealers affected to
think that the collection had been over
estimated in the public print
IL may not be overestimated since it Is
pertectly artistic and may not be re-
placed. Art lovers know this Their ap-
pEcauons for the conditions of TIE sale
that the executors imposed come in great
numbers. They are not hurried, and will
wait placidly, it is said.
They have no quarrel with the museum
On the contrary, they are anxious to
give to it the preference, for they are
faithful to GaIlands civic pride.
Blu they have not seen in the trustees
of the museum a sign of their desire to
buy the collection, which has been there
fer two years. And it is to be sold.
