their free public library now clear of

i ty. The study of the great masters OF
art in the italian and Dutch and Elem
ish collections, in preparation for this
visit was a source of inspiration and
value to the club members not to be

son, the American art study collection
which has given a variety and interest
/ to the lessons which is still growing,
4 and has resulted in placing one OF the
state travelling libraries on art, in the
/ public library for study during the next
1 six months. Too much can not be said
/ in favor of this American study collec-
/ ton Tnness, Whistler, Abbey, Sargent
and all our great masters of painting
ere here treated at length, and no club
/ could have pleasanter work.
