Il would be a conservative statement TO
say that there are in the rooms and vaults
Of this firm $5.OOOOOO worth OF pictures at

be readily appreciated when it is remem-

90 few persons realize what an
enormous wealth of ert and
beauty is concentrated in the
80 great New York ART stores Of
Fifth avenue to-day. Here undoubtedly is
the art centre of the world. in a commercial
sense at least. The art stores of Paris and
London are rapidly becoming mere branches
Of the New York establishments.
1t is most important to remember that
practically all of this display is open to the
public without charge. In nearly every store
there is an interesting exhibition to which
everybody is welcome without payment
Visitors from London are often astonished
at this Iberality, for in that city the deal
ers have always collected fee at their sDs-
ciaI exhibitions.
On Fifth avenue, between Thirty-fouTth
street and Central Park, there are about
twenty high-class art stores, and several OF
Them really attain the dignity OF palaces
In this latter class is the building at Nos
55s-55S Fifth avenue. Of II. KnOeo!sr
Sons. the Oldest of the greet art firms.

by Thomas Gainsborough, r. A., was
also disposed of. II was bough for $685.
600 by Scott and Fowles. These facts
recall sad story. Mrs Jordan, who
was really a pretty and poor Irish girl,
named Dolly Bland, lived with the Duke
of Clarence as his wife for twelve
years She bore him eight children,
one of whom, the oldest of four sons,
was made Earl Of Munster. This sons
descendant now sits in the House OF
Lords.
When Mrs. Jordan was verging on
middle age the Duke of Clarence, who
became King of England in 1880. de-
serted her and left her in complete des-
titution. He made liberal provision for
all the children, but they were not al
lowed to see their mother. 1t is a strik-
ing lesson to poor girls not TO put their
trust in princes.

State Aid for Good Music.

The Federation of Musical clubs is
certainly practical. At the recent BIZ
ennial gathering in Chicago, and to
the regret of many here in Fargo the
city was not represented, state edu-
cation in music and supervision and
control of public concerts was the
novel solution forcefully proposed by
Mrs. Jason Walker of Memphis, Tenn.
to eliminate rags and Objectionable
songs. Mrs. Walker is chairman of
the COMMITTEES on American music in
the Federation of Musical clubs. The
work planned by the federation was
tehus summarized by Mrs. Walker:
The plans and hopes of all the best
musicians in the United States for
raising the standard of our music are
receiving a tremendous impetus in our
meeting here. Among the things that
will be projected will be an agitation
for musical organizations under state
supervision. 1t is our hope that every
state will soon have it's own great or
chestra and choral society and that
each state will be fostering it's natural
talent by supporting a theatre in
which local musicians may cur rec
ignition. liz
"Our foremost object is to bring the
American author and composer to the
front and not have to depend upon
Europe for our music. To this end We
are furtherlng d plan Tor a national
conference to be held in Los Angeles
during 1915. At this conference there
will be offered a $4,000 prize for al
opera produced by a resident of this
country. The state, through it's kim
dergartens, grammar schools and high
schools, can instiil into all it's young
people the proper musical apprecia-
ton. Some time the children of this
country will be singing the best songs
instead Of the primordial things that
are now SO popular"
1t is generally conceded that the
production OF Haydn's The Creation
Friday night, April 25. was the best
thing of the kind ever given in Far
go. The progress Of the orchestra
under the direction of a.. y. Stephens,
since its first appearance in the
Messiah, three years ago., was noted

by local people. The attacks and
