PYIIS At THE IL. u. H.
ancient Ease Decorated 10ith the
Judgment of Paris.

One Of the most interesting objects Of art placed
exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in the last month is a white Athenian pyxts- or
toilet box decorated with picture of the judgment
OF Paris The vase is one the best Of its kind in
existence. and is in almost perfect preservation.
there being only few chips the and
slight discoloration Of the white surface It is
about five inches high and almost seven inches
wide The treatment is rather humorous. Paris be-
ing depicted q rather efferinate boy with curly
hair and pug nose. Hermes appears standing be
fore him, while just behind him is bearded male
figure holding long staff. Hera wears veil and
bears sceptre: Athena has her egs. helmet and
hnoe. She holds the helmet a diadem replacing it
on her head Aphrodite is finishing her toilet.
while Eros looks on in admiration.
The lace collection has been augmented recently
by both gift and purchase, there being several fine
specimens among the older pieces. The Venetian
points form the most conspicuous exhibits among
the gifts Mrs. Luckmeyer has presented two capes
Of point de France and piece of early needle
point 70 the Museum One OF the finest pieces OF
early English ironwork in the possession of the
Museum is the reproduction Of the Eleanor grille
from Westminster Abbey. now in the recent acces-
sions room This is made Of the same material
that Of the original-of wrought iron. with the
scrolls forged and the stampwork pressed into pre-
pared moulds in the manner followed by the iroa-
workers Of the thirteenth century. The records
show that the grille was made by Thomas de
Jeghtone in 1928. four years after the Queens
death al cost Of fI3, a sum equivalent TO about
500 the present time
One Of the most interesting loans on exhibi-
tion is tie replica OF the HISTORIAN stone from
China, lent by Fritz Holm. He went to China
hoping that he might get possession of the actual
stone, but the difficulties too great. After
much trouble Mr.. Holm obtained permission TO
make q replica. Several times hostile natives
caused an interruption OF months in the work and
when they ceased from troubling the missionaries
threw every possible obstacle in his way Finally
he got his replica to the seacoast. and It held
there for a long tine before the government would
allow him 10 ship il 20 this country. The original

hears IN Chinese characters brief description OF
the Christian mysteries and the names of the mis-
sionaries IN Syrac characters. The only Christian

duction well that every scratch and chip on the
original is be found or the reproduction.
