Exnlniters of ART

Art and artists seem to furnish an in
exhaustible mine of profit to shady ad-
vcnturers who take advantage alternate
ly of one and the other to turn a dis
honest penny. Another case has come to
light in which about dozen unsuspeet-
ing artist. together with an honest
tradesman have been victimized. Some
five months ago they received a circular
in which they were asked to contribute
some OF their pictures to auction sales
in London. The pictures were 10 be sold
at a given price, and in ease they We're
not disposed of at the sales. they would
be sent back TO the artists without ex-
spense. In case they were sold a commits
sion of 10 per cent was to be charged.
Many good artists fell into the trap
They were instructed TO hand their pic
lures to a packer who had orders to fer
ward them to London. The artists heard
no more of their pictures. They wrote
to the address given in London, and their
letters We're returned. The person had
gone away without leaving an address
Concluding that they had been imposed
upon the artists lodged a complaint
against the person in question, and q ju-
dicial inquiry is now proceeding along
it's weary way.
