The scheme, which il unique in

I asked Mr.. Clark just what the
artists benefit by being members
of the organization.
'They have none Of the worry
OF marketing their work. They
pay the association much less Tor
the transaction than they would

galleries for permanent exhibits.
And they have the backing OF big
finance" he replied.
The artists who become members
are selected with great care by q
committee Of connoisseurs. Only
their merit counts. At present
they are headed by Sargent.
BY September there win be
