Of the national capital, says a Wash

une, While tn Washington she was en-.
thusiastic over what she called her
"big idea" and after her arrival in
Vienna she wrote OF it to one Of the
many friends she made here as fol-
lows:
haze q big idea-such a big idea that
only the United States can hold It, 1t IS
founded on different experiences in diff
terent lands, and I will Sketch it to you
n a few words, which hope you will be
SO good as to approve. Rich people from
every one of your forty-five states must
put together some money-oh, a great

must never be touched. Then perma-
nent art building must be erected in beau
tiful Washington, and there must be ex-
hibitions every year.
Artists from all over the world must be
allowed to send one painting annually
free of duty. Each visitor on entering
the gallery will be presented with cata
logue free and will be expected to check
of the forty-five paintings that most
please and return it at the door. Those
forty-fve paintings having the greatest
number Of approval checks will be select
ed, one for each state.
BY this method the pictures are select
ed by the public, and in the course Of
time each state in the Union will own its
own museum Of art. The capital fund
will buy those forty-6ve paintings an
nualty at q good price, but the bulk Of
the money will not be paid to the artists,
but only the interest Of the amount,
which VII be theirs for life. Say the art
ist is a man. The widow VIII receive the
interest, or his children, until they are
twenty years Old. when the annuity will
cease and revert to the capital fund.
That seems an ideal scheme, but
whether it will ever be realized is
quite another story. Miss Komlosy's
father was a we'll known Hungarian
painter and she has two brothers who
have attained distinction In the same
profession.
