de la Concorde, is in the center of the official, social and artistic life of Paris, and is accessible equally to native Parisian and visiting American.

The scope of this exhibition is to be that of all phases of art activity in the United States—Fine, Decorative, Industrial—Retrospective, and Contemporary. The American Magazine of Art will print later a more detailed description of the scope of this exhibition as soon as it has been definitely formulated by the Organizing Committee, but it wants now to call the attention of its readers to the fact that this exhibition will include every phase of artistic design and execution.

The importance of this event in the artistic life of the whole of France and America is signified by the fact that President Harding and President Millerand have accepted the joint presidency of the Honorary Committee, and Ambassador Herrick and Ambassador Jusserand have accepted the joint vice-presidency of that committee. Mr. Robert W. de Forest has accepted the invitation to become one of the patrons.

A very able and important Advisory Committee is to be formed, and acceptances have already been received from George G. Booth, president, the Society of Arts and Crafts, Detroit; Robert Harshe, director of the Art Institute, Chicago; William M. Ivins, Jr., curator of prints, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; H. W. Kent, secretary, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; H. P.

The “Little” Gallery, 130 East 57th Street, New York, will be used for this exhibition, and it is hoped that the public will be interested in art, not only as a thing to be admired in the museums and private collections but also as an important factor in the daily life and business of the country.

ART IN MISSISSIPPI

A progressive step has been taken recently by the Mississippi Art Association, that of assembling and sending about to cities throughout the State, a traveling exhibition of works by artists of Mississippi and New Orleans. This exhibition is composed of twenty-four framed paintings, chiefly small ones, not over 18x22 inches; and twenty-four designs, drawings, etc., which are mounted on uniform boards, 14x22 inches. It had its first showing at the Mississippi State Fair in October, after which it was sent out on circulation by the Art Association.

As the Art Association was not able to raise the necessary funds for the exhibition, it has estimated the lowest possible cost of assembling and returning the pictures at the end of the year, and is charging the various cities a small fee of $2 to cover the expense. Applications for the exhibit at any city may be made to the Mississippi Art Fair in Jackson, Miss., where the secretary is in charge of the circulation of the exhibition.

WALL PAPER

It is interesting to note that the Wall Paper Guild of New York, formerly the Allied Wall Paper Industries, has gone into the field of circulating exhibitions, following the example of the American Federation of Arts. They have now on exhibition of wall paper ready and are arranging for a total of ten such collections to travel. The exhibitions are shown in stores and may be borrowed by individual dealers. Educational and philanthropic institutions receive them free of charge; to dealers the fee is $5 for the first week and $3 for each succeeding week.

The manufacturers are financing these exhibitions as part of their joint public campaign and are circulating the wall papers without mention of the names of the contributing firms or manufacturers, merely for the general interest that they will arouse and for the purpose of increasing the knowledge and use of good wall papers. It is felt that, if care is used in the selection of the materials, the result of these exhibitions will be beneficial to artistic taste and development along such lines.
