Bourdelle's Penelope, a group of works by the
great master Rodin, and works by Lenois,
Nelaton, and others. The graphic section con-
tained numerous features of interest. Special
mention must be made of the contributions of
Forain, who was here represented by a large
number of drawings, etchings, and paintings,

his decorative friezes, Albert Marquet by his
Place du Carrousel, executed with charming

and the celebrated cartoonist Steinlen by a
beautiful pictorial composition, Ruth et Boaz.
Other works which call for note are Maurice
