Commission, with his residence in Lon

he by seizing opportunity at every turn,

of the several who aid in disseminating

the citizens of her land during the past

cosmetics, perfumeries and such frivols
and only $3.50, 900 900 for the support of
art. On the contrary, with Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney who buys as well as
produces, she rejoices that the tribula-
tons of Wall Street in the Autumn did
not react disastrouSly toward the guild
of artists. This past year, so woeful In
many other directions, was the best
which art has known since pre-war
days. Institutions with large sums to
spend came forward in numbers. The
Phillips Gallery of Fine Art at Andover
Mass, expended nearly 100000 md
all in behalf Of American paintings In
all periods and the Anderson Galleries
were almost as liberal in the same di-
rection. There are now some eighteen
or twenty private collectors who are
crowding the Huntington Gallery of
Pasadena for first honors and the one
who attracts the widest interest is the
