It has also been decided that besides
the presentation of exhibits grouped to-
gether according to categories (Galeries
de l'Esplanade des Invalides and Grand
Palais, shared between France and foreign
countries), the various works of the ex-
hibitors shall be presented in complete
ensembles, each object being placed in its
proper setting and normal place. For this
a number of separate pavilions have been
provided on the Esplanade des Invalides,
and they will be given over to groups of
artists, artisans and manufacturers working
under the aegis of a town or a commercial
firm, to produce a coherent whole. And
lastly, to give representation to " urban
art," there will be " shops," in which
goods will be displayed in the normal
conditions wherein such things are offered
for sale. These shops will be placed on
the Pont Alexandre III. The exhibits are
classified in four principal sections : archi-

tecture and mural decoration, furniture,
etc., clothing, and the arts of the theatre,
the street and the garden; to which must
be added the special education section.

Foreign countries have been invited to
contribute to the exhibition, and, besides
the special galleries and half the Grand
Palais, special pavilions have been allocated
to them on the Cours la Reine. The British
Pavilion is situated at the approach to the
Pont Alexandre III, between the Grand
Palais and the Seine. Twenty-three
countries will be represented, of which
seventeen will have their own pavilions,
which will extend along the right bank of
the Seine, and on this side will be bounded
by the Horticultural and Colonial Sections.
On the opposite bank will be the buildings
devoted to the means of transport, while on
the Seine itself will be drawn up yachts
and pinnaces.

The exhibition will cover something like
seventy acres. The general plan is by the
