THERE have been rumors that the Art

the Saint Gaudens exhibit, but whether or
not it will be sent to any Of these cities

more weeks to run here and that if any

group or in connection with a pavilion
which would in itself be a thing of beauty.
This plan originated with certain members
of the American Institute of Architects
and was, it is understood, to have been
reported upon by Mr.. Burnham at the re-
cent convention. But Mr.. Burnham was
called to Europe On business and the mat

such an undertaking would be very great

Germany last autumn a beautiful ivory
carving. probably Italian workmanship
OF the fifteenth or sixteenth century,
which for at least III years had been in
the keeping Of his family at Freiburg.
1t is an oval panel about five inches in
breadth by seven in length. and repre-
sents the holy family. The Virgin Mary
is holding the Child Christ on her knee,
with her arms thrown about him, and
Joseph is leaning on the back of her
chair looking affectionately upon her and
tie Infant. The composition IS very like
that OF some of the painted madonnas
and the expression similar to that found
IN the pictures of the great Italian mas
te-s. The folds OF the drapery have been
simply treated. but the detail has been
handled with the utmost care The faces
are both nicely and syInpatheica!y mod
eed and the whole work seems to have
been executed with reVerent thought. 1t

these MANY years without flaw or
