The Professional Classes War Relief
Council, whose headquarters are now at
251, Brompton Road, has decided upon
a scheme of re-construction in order to
become a permanent body for dealing
with post-war distress among professional
men and women and others of the more
highly educated classes. This action
was cordially endorsed at a conference
of representatives of professional insti-
tutions held recently under the presi-
dency of Lord Phillimore, and a resolution
was adopted urging all bodies in touch
with the professional classes to recognise
the Council and to avail themselves of
its services when likely to be of use. a
A statement was made in more than
one newspaper some time ago that, con-
sequent on a change of proprietorship
which had recently taken place, the
Grafton Galleries would cease to be
available for art exhibitions after the close
of this year. We are glad to learn that
this statement does not represent the
186
intentions of the new proprietor, and that
these commodious and well-lighted rooms
will continue to be available for the dis-
play of works of art. 0 a a
Rarely, if ever, have these galleries
contained such a large assemblage of
exhibits as they did in October, when the
work of students of the John Hassall
Correspondence Art School occupied every
inch of wall space. Drawings and paint-
ings of every imaginable kind were dis-
played, and some really clever work could
be seen amongst them ; but the chief
interest of the exhibition was the collection
of poster designs, many of which com-
pelled attention by their qualities of
colour and arrangement. a ■ a 0
All the Royal Societies which hold ex-
hibitions in the last quarter of the year have
been or are carrying out their customary
fixtures at the usual places — the Old
Water-Colour Society in Pall Mall East,
the British Artists in Suffolk Street, the
Institute of Oil Painters at the Prince's
Gallery, and the Portrait Painters and
Miniature Painters at the Grafton—and
