this kind has been planned. but the idea
seems worth considering as future
possibility. The provincial museums In
France are made repositories Of certain
paintings and other objects shown first

or the Luxembourg, but Of the French
government itself, which places them
with art institutions on condition that

The opening last Thursday of the an
nual exhibition of the American Society
of Miniature Painters at the Knocdler
Galleries suggests the special value Of
having here so lofty standard OF meas
urement and inspiration. Not that the
twenty members of this earnest little
society and their colleagues are not am
bilious and, in number of instances,
accomplished. But the best of them will
no doubt be the most enthusiastic stu
dents of the art OF a noteworthy past
when this becomes easily possible in
New York.
The exhibition Of this year of the
American Society of Miniature Painters
has taken on retrospective character.
