The Autotype Fine Art Gallery, 74 New Oxford St., London, W.C. OPEN FREE DAILY FROM 10 TO 6. We cannot all possess real Rembrandts and Watteaus and Corots, but we can buy good reproductions. And for good reproductions there is nobody better than the Autotype Company, or half so good. We spent a pleasant hour the other morning in their Galleries, and were surprised at the success of their process, which, more than any other, obtains the actual "values" of the original paintings. Many of these are even improved by the process. For the faulty colouring of some of the greatest artists no longer offends in a monochrome print; the looseness or coarseness of treatment often vanishes when the picture is, to all intents and purposes, reduced in size. If any of your friends love good pictures, you cannot do better than to present them with a few Autotype reproductions from their favourite masters. "The Outlook," December 2, 1899.

VI Memorial to the late Lord Armstrong. STATUE SUB-COMMITTEE. R. G. HATTON, ESQ. C. J. SPENCE, ESQ. P. G. B. WESTMACOTT, ESQ. W. A. WATSON-ARMSTRONG, ESQ. 1.—It has been decided to erect a Memorial of the late Lord Armstrong in a prominent position in his native City of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, such Memorial to include a Portrait Statue of Lord Armstrong, and the Committee now invite designs for such Memorial. 2.—The design of the Memorial and the material proposed to be used must be suited to the site and the climatic conditions of the City. The Committee suggest that the Statue itself, which may be in a standing or sitting posture, should be of bronze, and should form the most prominent feature of the Memorial. 3.—Competitors must be prepared to carry out the erection of the Memorial, including the execution of the Statue, and all levelling, foundations, surroundings, and accessories, at a cost of £5,000 or thereabouts. 4.—The Committee will be advised by Mr. Alfred Gilbert, R.A. Not fewer than three competitors will be selected by the Committee and their adviser to carry their designs further, and to each of these an honorarium of £25 will be given. 5.—The Committee do not bind themselves to accept any of the designs submitted. If a design is accepted, then those two competitors who are adjudged by the Committee and their adviser to have sent in the second and third best designs shall receive respectively an additional honorarium of £75 and £50. In the event of no design being accepted, then each of the selected competitors will receive an additional £25. 6.—All designs should be ready by the 1st of June, 1902. A photograph of the site for the Memorial, particulars of the area, levels, elevation, and situation thereof, and all further particulars required can be obtained from the Secretary to the Committee, who will give notice to all competitors of the precise time for sending in designs and the place to which they are to be sent. 7.—The Committee purpose exhibiting the designs and models in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, but no design or model will be exhibited if the sender intimates to the Secretary to the Committee his wish to the contrary. 8.—The Committee will use all reasonable precautions to preserve designs and models sent in, will pack carefully and return them at their own cost, and will insure generally against injury at a nominal value of £25 each while in their custody and during return transit. Dated this 7th day of February, 1902. HERBERT J. RICHARDSON. 67 Westgate Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Secretary to the Committee.

HEAL & SON'S Speciality for Curtain Blinds "CASEMENT FLAX" The want of a material which would drape well in the short length demanded by the casement curtain, and which at the same time was not expensive, has led us to the production of CASEMENT FLAX, which, although pure linen, is not harsh, but always hangs in soft folds; it wears well and washes well, only those dyes have been used which have stood the severe test of strong sunlight. It will be found that casement flax i. Hangs in graceful folds ii. Wears well and keeps its colour iii. Is very inexpensive 36 INCHES WIDE. PRICES FROM 1/3 TO 2/9 PER YARD.
