attached clipping Arts Club Issues Invaluable Treatise on Oriental Rugs The Arts Club of Chicago has published a catalogue of the superb collection of early oriental carpets which is now on exhibit in the clubrooms. The catalogue is more than a mere listing of beautiful carpets and their descriptions. It is a treatise on the art of rug weaving as one of the finest of the fine arts, a keen and accurate interpretations of a really little know art. Arthur Upham Pope, who assembled the exhibit from all over the world, wrote the essay which, he says in a foreword, is "addressed to those who have no special knowledge of carpets." After the catalogue itself there is a short but invaluable bibliography, with a critical estimate as well as a description of each volume. Connoisseurs have come great distances to see the remarkable exhibit--Mr. Tattersall is on his way from the Victoria and Albert museum of London, for instance--which is the finest that has ever been shown in the United States. By the publication of this catalogue the Arts Club of Chicago has proved its eminence in the matters of the arts in the country, for the catalogue is of such a nature as to be a volume of great importance rather than a mere catalogue.
