St Nicholas [serial] . CHOLA Leag One of the most interestingexhibits the young artists ofthe League have ever givenis shown, this month, in re-sponse to the subject assignedin the October number, ACopy.

Several record well-rememberedopportunities of seeing or talking with notable people. PRIZE-WINNERS, COMPETITION NO.
