A loan exhibition of medallic art
is accessible, between the hours of
10 and 5, at the Century Club, to visit
ors presenting carus from members.
1t includes medals, medallion portraits
and some original models from which
medals have been maze.
New Workers may we'll envy the in
habitants of Morristown, n. j., for in
the public library of that town there
Is open just now an exhibition which
would be welcome anywhere. 1t is
one Of original drawings by Mr.. A. B.
Frost and Mr.. John Frost. The latter
shows only eighteen productions, but
by Mr.. A. B. Frost there are no fewer
than cightynine pen drawings and
some threescore works in wash. oils
and water color. One alone of this
humorist's achievements, "Our Cat
Takes Rat Poison" would repay a pill

long ago gave him a fame which can
not fade. He has had strong, terse

He came to this country the first year

Mr.. Camilieri realized that to re-

to carry on rehearsals where people
were employed, instead of urging then,
to come to established centres. Special
rehearSals were held in many OF II

The two principal aims of the pro

OF American ideals and patriotic fervor
and the development of American
music. It is planned TO accomplish this
by establishing about twenty commu-

city, or to use those already established
by other organizations where the pco

the skill with which she has painted

that she might prove, in an exhibition

charge cannot be brought against him
that he only became interested when
in his dotage'; on the contrary, he was
then IN his prime-about forty years
Of age. 1t is true that Crookes main
tanned his interest to the day of his
death, but he wrote very little upon
the subject, contenting himself with
patient research and investigation
which tended but to confirm his earlier
researches. A brief summary of these
cannot fail to be of interest.
