and the exhibition of work by mem
bers Of the National Association of
Women Painters and Sculptors is on
view in galleries two and eleven at

contemporary work Of Japanese
artists in this field, constitute q pc

the field thoroughly, in order to
make it a truly representative ex-
hibit.

Yoshida Of Tokyo, who is himself
represented, by request, by a num-
Der of blocks, executed for the most
part from sketches made in Europe
and America during his. recent

ture.
