This is Ye Old Art Inn 
where the worker of Arts and 
Crafts may rest a bit and par- 
take of refreshment. 
IN recognition of the 20th and 50th anniversaries of the 
Boston Society of Arts and Crafts and the Boston Society 
of Architects respectively, a joint exhibition will be held during 
November next, in Boston. An announcement made by Mr. 
Louis C. Newhall, chairman of the exhibition committee of 
the Arts and Crafts Society, gives the following information: 
"A large room will be devoted exclusively to the work of our 
society, and all branches of craft work are invited. It is hoped 
that work of a very high standard may be shown. The very 
fact that our country is at war and virtually cut off from the 
industrial products of Europe makes it all the more desirable 
to hold exhibitions showing what America can do in the indus- 
trial arts. Our craftsmen are urged to begin at once on the 
preparation of exhibits which shall be worthy of this extra- 
ordinary occasion." 
During the month of October there will be two interesting- 
exhibitions at the gallery of the Society of Arts and Crafts at 
No. 9 Park Street, Boston; the first, a display of artistic needle- 
work from October 9 to November 6, and the second, an exhibit 
of photographs by members of the photographers' guild of the 
Society from October 24 to November 6. Entries for the latter 
will be received until October 22. 
It has been reported upon good foundation that John Sing- 
er Sargent has been asked to decorate the rotunda of the Boston 
Museum of Fine Arts. Mrs. John L. Gardner, whose Venetian 
palace in the Fenway is such a well-known treasure-house of 
art, and Dr. Denman W. Ross, who has given priceless porce- 
lains to the museum within the last year, are known to be es- 
pecially interested in the project. It is said that Mr. Sargent 
has had great difficulty in securing a studio large enough to 
properly accommodate the proposed work. Boston will be 
unusually fortunate if she is to acquire another group of murals 
equal in magnificence to those in the Public Library. 
Fifty young American artists were encamped this past 
summer at Bantam Lake, Litchfield, Conn., under the auspices 
of the American Association of Camouflage, and of Columbia 
University. The association was formed some time ago with 
Edwin H. Blashfield, chairman, and S. E. Fry, secretary. 
These artists have learned to paint "as things are not" so that 
enemy airmen may be cheated into believing that an innocent 
appearing clump of trees is what it seems and does not, on the 
contrary, conceal a machine gun. The young men may even 
have the fun of decorating "tanks" so as to render them less 
visible. Great numbers of French and British artists were 
recalled from the front early in the war to paint for their 
country. Here in America we have both an Eastern and West- 
ern Division of the American Camouflage with energetic 
members working at this new and most important "art." 
According to a report from Paris, Claude Monet has been 
commissioned by M. Clemenceau to paint Rheims Cathedral, 
which, as a result of the almost constant bombardment since 
the beginning of the war, is in a state of ruin, of most eloquent 
ruin, however. The painting will be placed in one of the large 
public buildings in Paris where it will undoubtedly attract a 
great deal of attention from the general public since it is pro- 
posed to convert the Cathedral into a pantheon for the heroic 
dead of all the Allies.

One of the choicest bits of porcelain Dr. Denman Ross has given to the Boston 
Museum of Fine Arts. It is about nine inches tall, with a beautiful gray-
