Until few years ago this institu-
ton still had one of the earliest de-
positors on its books. She was Phoebe
Anna Thorne, a Quakeress, in whose
name, possibly on the day of her birth,
$40 was deposited in July, 1924. She
never made an additional deposit or
withdrew anything. She lived to an
advanced age. In 1908 when her
executors called for a settlement of the
account the bank paid therp 81 ,399 90
To this size had 500 grown in the
space of eighty-four years. In the be-
ginning the bank paid 5 per cent. in
terest. The highest rate was TN per
cent, from 1870 to 1874, and the low
est ga. At present it is 4 per cent.
On January last there were 1886
depositors, with 500. 4S6.724.0e to their
credit. The total sum credited to
1,l26,93o depositors since the bank
started is $715.6s2, 1869.
The original trustees appointed in
rotation three OF their number to at
tend at the bank as a committee for
one month. BY this means all the
trustees became familiar with the de-
positors and were enabled to give per-
sonal advice as well as to conduct the
business OF the bank. Later the period
was reduced to two weeks. so that each
member OF an attendance committee of
twenty-six kept an eye on the insti-

one connected with the bank drew a

much lustre on the enterprise OF the
furniture industry.
The Edward p. O'Reilly collection of
rare old Genoese velvet banners of
historic value including feudal and
religious ceremonial coats Of arms and
other subjects dating from the six
teenth century,, is now on free view
at the Plaza Art Rooms This I'M
matched appeal to collectors and art
lovers possesses enhanced interest by
reason of the circumstance that none
OF these authentic antiques IS offered
for sale singly or en- bloc.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
has recently acquired by purchase the
upper part Of a statuette In quartzite,
portraying dignitary of the old king
dom, which in many respects is illus
trative of the higher achievements of
the sculptors of the Memphite period.
On the basis Of style It can be dated
to the fifth or sixth dynasty.
The statuette is broken away at the
waist, but is preserved sufficiently to
indicate the abrupt turn forward OF
both arms at the elbows, fixing the
original pose OF the figure as either
seated or squatting-and very prob
ably the former, seated upon a heavy
cubical seat, with the feet together
and the hands resting upon the knees.
The figure Is that OF a man, vigor-
Gus in appearance and Of robust
physique. He wears the long wig. ar
ranged in separate locks and parted
in the middle, which, falling behind
tho ears, separates over the shoulders
extending down the back to shoulder
blades and resting in front upon the
chest. The upper part Of the body
Is nude, but II the statuette were in
tact we should find him clothed in a
short skirt reaching to the knees. In
the case OF such sculptures in hard
colored stone the usual male body
color of red would have been omitted
but he was probably originally repre-
scented as wearing the broad collar
added in color, while other features
such as the eyes and wig, would like
wise have been supplemented by color
AT present, however, no traces of color
remain.
In the strong and vlrile character
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-07-06

OF its modelling as we'll as in its OBJ
viously successful portrayal OF indi-
viduality the statuette Is representa-
tive of the better attainments OF the
period. While the higher qualities of
portraiture. inherited by the sculptors
OF these later dynasties OF the old
kingdom from their predecessors Of
the fourth dynasty, are seen to have
been maintained in a number Of we'll
known examples, these have come in
general from the imposing tombs OF
high court officials, who clearly were
able to command the services OF the
master sculptors themselves. On the
other hand, a great number OF these
cult statues OF the old kingdom, par
ticularly those of smaller size, yielded
by tombs Of lesser importance-at
Gizeh and Sakkara as we'll as in the
case of provincial cemeteries-are
clumsily proportioned and mediocre in
character. They show none OF the in
spiration OF the other examples and
are evidently the work OF inferior art
lists. The present example, however,
in the opinion Of A. NJ. Lythgoe, who
has described it in the Bulletin, is an
SASeplIOH W tHlS eOIHeWndt general
rule and seems worthy OF being placed
among tho more striking achieve
ments OF the time.
Tho following note. quoted from the
museums Journal OF February, 1919,
conveys information that must bring
a feeling OF relief and pleasure to
many Bulletin readers:
THE Louvre, which has been closed
to the public, with the exception of a
small number of galleries, for nearly
four and half years, was reopene1
during January. In August, 1914,
when the Germans were making their
first drive on Paris, the greater par;
of the most valued treasures was
hastily removed to safety and eventu-
ally placed on exhibition in Toulouse,
Blois and other cities far removed
from danger What this removal meant
may be judged from the fact that no
fewer than two thousand five hundred
of the best pictures had to be hurriedly
but carefully packed and got away
southwark almost under the enemy's
nose. OF all the priceless statua-y
the Venus OF Milo alone could be re-

moved. AS for the remainder Of tho
statues and antiquities, there was
only time to place them in compare
tive safety against air raids in those
parts Of the vaults of the Louvre
where the overhead structure was
thickest. 1t will be some months be-
fore all the galleries are completely
rearranged. Not only is there extern
sive cleaning and other work to be
carried out, but room has to be found
for the remarkably large number OF
new works with which the Louvre has
been enriched during the var. Among
these are the collections of the Mar
quise Arconati and Baron Schlichting
while the fine arts department has
bought a large number Of drawings
and sketches from the Haseltine COL
lection and has received numerous
important gifts, for all of which places
must be found"
To-day will be Great War Veterans
Exhibition, now being held at the An
derson Galleries. Last Wednesday
evening q mass meeting of men who
fought in France with the Canadian
army took place at the galleries.
where a Greater New York branch of
the Great War Veterans Association
was organized. Four hundred menu
bers were sworn in. The majority OF
them were Americans who crossed the
border and enlisted in the Canadian
forces prior to Americas entry into
the war. It is estimated that there
are over 5000 Canadian army veterans
in Greater New York, and almost all
OF these will be members of the newly
formed organization.
Great interest is predicted for Great
War Veterans day at the exhibition.
Not only Canadian soldiers and their
friends will be present that day but
a great many others who are anxious
to witness the wonderful battle pic
lures on exhibition and to see the mo-
ton pictures of the battle OF Nimy
Ridge, where the Canadians won I'M
dying fame. Tho proceeds OF the ex-
hibition will go to tho Canadian war
memorials fund.
