FINE ITALIAN BRONZES

London. Sept. 23.
One OF the three last great private
collections of early italian bronzes has
passed into the hands of professional
dealers. presumably for dispersal, ac-
cording to announcement just made. II
was the property OF John Postle Hesel-
tine. so years old, senior trustee of the
National Gallery. The failure of the
National Gallery to acquire the collec-
tion probably is explained by the fact
that it already has wealth of bronzes
obtained from other collections.
The Heseltne collection contains one
of the few statuettes in the world which
experts unite in attributing to Cellini.
There is also a Minerva generally re-
garded as the masters model for the
same figure in the base OF his Perseus
in the Loggia de Lanzi at Florence. One
of the gems Of the collection is Flor
entine fourteenth century statuette of
a boy which is eighteen inches high. 1t
shows rare skill in modelling and ex-
presses consummate charm and fnno-
cence.
There are others not attributed to any
definite master, but the collection covers
the range from the early Italian schools
and is almost the equal Of the Morgan
collection. Others probably are the
work of Leonardo da Vinci. A Sam
son, a Venus and a cupid with two dol
phlns are attributed TO Raphaels friend
Lorenzetti. Alfred Spero, the King
street collector. WAS the purchaser.

Since an American introduced the
wearing of green badge to denote a
desire on the part of the wearer Of
meeting a marriageable companion, the
idea has spread rapidly here. Not only
have men and women gladly accepted
the idea of wearing the ensign but a
club has been formed here.
Twice week the members-there

meet with the view of exchanging
ideas on marriage. But they do not
have to contend with spinsters of un-
certain age who are too bashful to
wear the green, but nevertheless re-
mark that they still are of the age and
temperament TO justify hopes of mar
riage.
Immediately after the spinsters heard
OF the formation of the Green Badge Club
they got together and organized a news
paper Of their own called Marriage. The
paper not proving a success the women
decided that each one should try her
luck through the best means at her dis

wearing the badge.
Thus to-day French newspapers are
again carrying advertisements from
spinsters and widows seeking mates.

poses that the famous Longchamps race
track at Paris be given UP every Sun
