coveted membership, and it is because of this that
the periodical exhibitions of the society are among
the most popular events of the season. The
recent exhibition was noticed in our last number
and we now supplement the observations there
made by reproductions of a few of the works
comprised in it. _
Notwithstanding that artists as a profession stand
to suffer more by the war than any other profession
perhaps, they have been very generous in their
support of one or other of the numerous organisa-
tions which are now appealing for funds to relieve
the distress caused by the war. A scheme pro-
moted and carried through by Mr. Wynne
Apperley, R.I., Mr. Louis Ginnett, R.O.I., and
Mr. Martin Hardie, A.R.E., has in particular
resulted in a very substantial addition to the
Prince of Wales's National Relief Fund. A
large number of leading artists throughout the
country placed at their disposal signed and framed
examples of their work, in all cases thoroughly
representative, to be sold for the benefit of the
fund; among those contributing being twenty-six
members of the Royal Academy, eight of the Royal
Scottish Academy, thirty-two of the Royal Institute
of Painters in Water-Colours, forty-five of the
Royal Institute of Oil Painters, thirty-two of the
Old Water-Colour Society, forty-six of the Royal
Society of British Artists, fifty-six of the Royal
Society of Painter-Etchers, thirteen of the Inter-
national Society, thirteen of the New English Art
Club; together with members of the Senefelder
Club, the Society of Graver-Printers in Colour,
and other bodies. The number of works (pictures,
sculpture and prints) contributed amounted to four
hundred and fourteen, and they were divided into
two categories, the uniform price in one being five
guineas, and in the other two guineas. All were
subscribed for by the public, and the drawing
by lot for distribution was conducted on November
26 by Sir Kenneth Muir-Mackenzie, G.C.B., and
Sir George Riddell (National Relief Fund). The
total amount realised amounted to ,£2615 13^. The
entire expenses of stationery, printing, postage, and
the collection and delivery of pictures, was gener-
ously defrayed by Mr. Sigismund Goetze; and
Messrs. Dicksee lent their gallery in Duke Street
for three weeks free of charge, and undertook the
collection and distribution of the pictures at cost
price. The amount mentioned, therefore, has
been handed over to the National Relief Fund.
