IF the owners of the accepted works
of art show unwillingness to lend their
imported property for such long De-
riod as two years, they should be al
lowed to lend them for only a period
of one year, provided they paw half
duty. OF course, in case such owners
totally refuse to lend their property.
they could refuse them by paying full
duty, as is usual at the present time.

ideas are carried out, only real works

run with so-called works of art or
productions of mediocre artistic abil-
tiles. More harm can be done to the
public in showing them nongenuine
works of art and corrupting their
sense of art appreciation than by not
showing them any works Of art at all.
Moreover. a wholess lie free admission
Of all works of art, so called, without
any discrimination would in1ict a loss
of profit on the government which
would not be justified by the degree
of artistic development that such free
art could effect in the public"
Mrs. Hemmick said that by CARRYING
out these suggestions the government,
too, would not be without it's material
profit: % 1t will receive duties on
second-class works Of art (2) 1t will
receive half duties for works of art
where owner would not be willing to
lend them for a period extending be-
yond one year. CD 1t would charge a
small admission from all those who
wish to enter the museum, allowing
certain days in the month during
which all would be admitted free. (4)

allowed. many yearly spend large sums
of money abroad in order to visit and
study works of art, while by having
limited free art" in America the bulk
of that money would be spent in Amer.
ioa itself.
This is already in existence" Mrs
Hemmick said. "A charter was grant,
ed by Congress in 1892 for National
Academy of Art" to be located in this
city.
"A national building, erected by the
government for the exhibition OF works
of art would prove of invaluable I'm

Plan for Limited Free Art
Suggested by Mrs. Hen1mick
WelL-known Patron of Arts Suggested that Articles
Passed Upon by Competent Jury Be Admitted Free
on Condition that They Be Exhibited Three
Years in Public Galleries.

Mrs. Christian Hemmick, formerly
Mrs. Alice Barney, well known as an
artist and a patron of the arts, has a
solution, she believes, for at least one
part of the tariff problem.
Mrs. Hemmick stated last night that
she favors a scheme of limited free
arts" by which a jury of competent
critics would admit, duty free, such
works of art as are Of high standard,
proyided such works should be exhibited
at government museums for a period of
two years.
Art works not fully up to the STAN
dards of excellence could be admitted at
fractional rates OF duty, and loaned to
the government for less periods of time.
Mrs. Hemmick's scheme provides.
"Other nations spend millions on buy
inc objects of art, for the development
and increasing interest in such matters, "
said Mrs Hemmick. Our own nation
is terribly lacking in appreciation Of
arts To educate the public taste with
out large outlay (such as other govern
unents are doing), ] propose the follow
ing plan of limited free arts. AT vari-
Gus ports designated for entrance OF art
obiects) a committee of persons of ar
tistic ability be appointed as jury,
serving for the honor which partici-
nQnt in the artlSllC ueNeiOpIHcul VI Jul
country would afford them.
ANY works of art pronounced by this
iury as of sufficient excellence should

in lieu of this advantage the owners
should be willing to lend these for a
period of two years to the government,
m he exhibited at museums to be found
ed by the government The public will
then be given the benefit of seeing these
works of art. The advantage Of such
system and such museums are too many
IN he enumerated here But as an in
stance we point to the ever-changing
character of the exhibitions and the
manifold interest they impart to the
public.
AT the end of two years these works
of art will be returned to their own
ers free of duty.

would not pass the rigid examination

fall short of meeting all requirements

Tons of Mail Flood White House;
Handling of It Is Gigantic Task
Avalanche 1000 Sometimes Received and Coepon-
dence Requires Intricate Tegraph System
as Well Big Staff of office Men,

a assistant secretaries. The apportionment
of the mail among these three aids Is
governed not by their relative rank but
rather by a system whereby it is sought
to ,have each subject Of general corre-
spondence handled in all cases by the
secretary who has specialized on that
particular matter. 1t is only an occas-
ional letter that the Secretary to the
President cannot dispose OF without con-
sultng his chief.
Those communications which do seem
to merit the personal attention or the
Chief Executive he has ready for the
President the first thing each morning.
The President may dispose of letter
that requires his personal attention by
debating a reply, or, as is more often
the case he may return all the papers
in the case to his secretary, with PEN
ciled notation that viii guide the secre-
tary in framing a reply in accordance
with the Presidents wishes.
Six stenographers are kept busy typ
ing the letters dictated by the President
his secretaries and mail clerk, and this
corps must, when the volume of mail
is unusually heavy, be supplemented by
men (there are no women employed in
the Presidential business off1ces) detailed
temporarily from one of the departments
Letter-press copies, instead of carbons,
are kept. 1t is but natural that each
President upon retiring from office should
take with him from the White House
most of the letter-press books that have
accumulated during his administration.
In many instances carbon copies are
also made, for not infrequently the
President desires to send copies OF q
letter to several quarters.

Dignined Stationery.

The Wlite House stationery is digni-

white linen bond of the finest quality,
and for almost all purposes there is
used a double sheet of note size which
in three folds fits snugly into an envc-
lope a size or two smaller than those
most favored In ordinary business prac-
tice The paper stock used is so tough
and strong, though Of fine surface, that
it will stand up under almost any
amount of rough usage in the mails.

ciate the texture of the White House

resort to scissors.
