individuals ; also, I have been forced to
leave quite unnoticed certain aspects of this
restoration of the applied arts, as, for
example, the art of the Theatre, in which
our decorators before the war were dis-
playing so much ability. I realize, too, as
I bring these very incomplete jottings to a
close, that there are many artists demand-
ing attention whose very names I have not
so much as mentioned—artists of the stamp
of Mme. O'Kin-Simmen, MM. Avenard,
Brindeau de Jarny, Landry, Jacquin,
Hairon, Hamm, Rivaud, Simmen, Methey,
Stern, Dresa, Schenck, Roux-Champion,
Rapin, Kieffer, Mangeant, Mmes. Cazin,
Lecreux, Oermain, Lalique, and MM,
Soccard, Sandoz, Roche, Lachenal, Na-
than, Ballet, Hirtz, Decorchemont, Giral-
don, Moreau-Nelaton, Bonvallet, Plumet.
I am really embarrassed and very sorry !
