Speaking of the exhibit that will be
made of the American Federation of
Arts, Mr.. Manser says:

gan under which the American FEEDER.
alton of Arts has launched for circula-
tion its exhibition of prints for the
home.
''The prints in question have been
selected by jury of experts. Every
taste and fancy of the individual may
be satisfied Some 200 prints will be
shown, the great majority of them
representing the work of American
artists. There will also be a small
group of foreign subjects, as well as a
number of reproductions of famous
paintings by old masters. The prints
are in various sizes and finishes, and
suitable for framing and immediate
use.
"a most interesting feature of this
exhibition is that there may be secured
through the American Federation of
Art duplicate Of any Of the pictures on
view at prices which readily accOmmo-
date themselves to the size of any
home makers purse, ranging as they
do from 35 cents to $l8.

ngs, architecture, sculpture, war me-
MORALS, industrial arts, etc. These
