The public referendum, wherein overy visitor to the display will be tsked to vote for the winner of a popular prize of $200 given by the | gallery, has been set for the week of Monday, January 7. Balloting will begin that dav and will olose at 4:30 o'clock the following Sunday after- noon. Every picture in the exhibition is ellgible for this generous prize. Similar referenda in previous years here have aroused great interest, and the Idea has been copied in a num- ber of other places, C. Powell Min- nigerode, director of the gallery, an- nounces that he will have from 8,000 to 10,000 ballots printed in readiness for this event, An adjunct which s commanding the attention of gallery visitors, al- though it is entirely separate and distinct from the biennial exhibit, is a group of cases in the upper atrium containing pasteld and silver points by Thomas W. Dewing, who, Wash- ingtonians will recall, is represented in the Freer Gallery here by an en- tire room full of his works. In arranging for this speclal dis- play request was made for twenty- four pletures to fill eight panels in the cases. Mr. Dewing told he gal- lery that he did not think thers were that many available for such a loan exihlbit. ‘Nevertheless the gal- lory went ahead, with the result that there are fifty-three on display and two additional cases had to be in- stalled to accommodate all of them.
