for monkeys, of whose habits and
development he has made a special
study. Wilhelm Hedja exhibited
several plastics in wax showing good
taste in composition and surety of
touch. In his plaquettes he is par-
ticularly happy. Josef Heu only sent
one exhibit, a portrait-bust in bronze,
and worthy the master. Franz Simon
(Paris), in his coloured etchings,
shows much originality and feeling.
Particularly felicitous is his Market
in Cracow, in which he has admir-
ably rendered the varied and bright
hues which enliven this city on a
market morning. The exhibition
was arranged by Josef Urban.

was given over to the " Jungbund,"
a society of young artists who, till

making a name for himself as a de-

Kriser has a true sense of decorative
worth; and Hans Bohler in his
drawings shows a fine sense of colour.
It will be interesting to watch the
progress of this youthful society.

M Nevertheless the Society seems to be
