"Somf architects, usually nqs-mem
bers of the league, as well as lay critics,
have expressed a wish for a return to a
purely architectural' exhibition. It is
difficult to see what such an exhibition
would contain, and interesting to specu
late -upon. We suppose It would consist
solely In geometrical plans, elevations
and sections, and perspectives in the
various media of architectural presen
tation. The contributing arts of palnt
.ng aid sculpture, the work of the
craftsmen In glass, faience, bronze,
wrought Iron, textiles, leather, would j
presumably be banished from a 'purely I
architectural' exhibition. This very lim
ited horizon Is not that of the Archi
tectural League of New Tork, which is
seeking to unite In fellowship the prac
tltioaers of all these arts and crafts to
the end that ever-improving leadership
in the arts may be developed and placed
at the service of the nation."

ATTRACT ATTENTION
That fashionable interest in portrait
ure can be sroused is proved by the
work of Philip de Laaalo, an exhibition
of which in the galleries of M. Knoed
ler & Co. is attracting throngs who view
them very seriously. Mr. d? l^sutzlu.
