Sir Claude himself is considered, for

to the four best pictures shown.
The fact that ninety-one pictures
were sold from the four previous ex-
hibitions-thirty-fi being purchased
by the Corcoran gallery-is noted, as
well as the hope that the custom may
be continued and substantial purchases
made from the coming exhibition. No
less than 174.095 persons attended the
past four exhibitions. From all this 1t
would seem that there is a very sub
stantial and sincere interest in art in
Washington.
THE Sunday afternoon openings were
resumed by the Corcoran Gallery
of Art on the first Sunday In October
and the attendance was exceptionally
good. AS a rule this privilege, which
is offered to all, is not accorded until
much later in the season.

THE Corcoran School of Art reopened
for the season on Mondy of this
week. The registration is unusually
large and the prospects for the year
especially promising. One effect the
European war will have is to prevent
American art students going abroad

turn to America. 1t should also, by

THE Washingtn Society of the Fine

former, one will be for members and
subscribers. and the other for the
public under the usual restrictions.
All of the lectures will be given, as
heretofore, in the auditorium of the
National Museum The members course
will this season be related and COM

The first, which will be given No
