Thus there have been or will be a breakfast table
and a dinner table laid and equipped as for actual
use; interesting contiibutions by Professors van de
Velde and Olbrich; some domestic architecture
by Olbrich and Paffendorf, a show of artistic
photographs, posters, etc., each display
lasting about a month.
Among the paintings proper, the older
men, like Professor Holzel, are as fresh as
ever, but younger men are promising to
come to the front, particularly in land-
scape. I may mention without prejudice
to those unnamed, a fine moonlight effect
entitled To Schubert, by Walter Ophey; A
Lady in White by Robert Weise ; After the
Storm by Fritz Westendorp, and a Self-
portrait by Emil Schneider. Among the
small exhibits of sculpture some animal
studies seem to prove that the interest and
appreciation of animal life is gaining ground

poets not one has so sung himself into

none other from an antagonism that has amounted
to hate. His politics and his creed arouse a
bitterness which even now find vent in a vindictive
war against his memory.
Diisseldorf’s claim to fame in the eyes of the
world rests largely on having been the birth-place
of Heine, and yet such has been the bigoted

erect a public monument to his memory have
failed, though the money was forthcoming. It is,
