OF American artists said Mrs Mag

evening "The inspiration Of this
society was really revolt against

John Singer Sargent was quite as
ansa,ional as 9hns In the indopcnd.

impetus given to American art by
the society was lntensificd by tho

Interesting question us 90 the relo-
tive cost of bacon and hoR on The
