It is time that she should relax her efforts and that organisations all ov- er the country should awaken to the privilege to aid in moulding the Amer- ican art of the future. Clubs, from coast to coast, which are interested in the fine things of life, can take out memberships of five, ten, twenty-five dollars or more and can encourage their individual members to do the same. _!__ It is the aim of the MacDowell Association, Inc., which, with Mrs. MacDowell's untiring effort, is back of the colony, to increase the pres- ent $25,000 endowment to $200,000 in by Mrs. Charles L. Byron The MacDowell colony as it stands today is both a dream and a reality. The dream was Edward MacDowell's who hoped that when he might no longer need the "Log Cabin" at Pet- ^rboro, it might be opened to other order to make the colony selfrsup- POThough in the past Chicago and vicinity has had to search somewhat diligently for any considerable share in the worthy project, one feels that this may not long be the case... W February 1921 Mrs. Milton W.Ar- mette, organised a North Shore Mac- Dowell society. Praises North Shore Work In writing to her about it Mrs. MacDowell said: "I think you have done wonders with the North Shore chapter and I do believe your dreams are going to come true". It will be interesting to pause here creative artists who would draw in spiration from the same hills and for- ests. To express that dream in material form has been the task of Mrs. Mac- Dowell and the devoted men and wo- men of the MacDowell association who believe in the cause of the cre- ative artist. Aslme bTtHe trusteesof the Amer- ican Academy of Rome, Edward MacDowell met intimately a remark- able group of menâ€"rjohn W. Alexan- der, Augustus St. Gaudens, Richard Watson Gilder, Charles McKim and Prank D. Millet. Contact with these artists proved an inspiration to Mac- Dowell and convinced him that there was nothing more broadening to the creative worker in one art than af- filiation with workers in other arts. Genuine Atmosphere Rossiter G. Cole, whose stay at the colony has been most prolific in new works says: 'The MacDowell colony offers an ideal habitation and stimu- lating atmosphere for creative work to the future of music, literature and in many fields that will mean much art in America". Theodore Maynard, an English poet whoâ€"enjoyedâ€"theâ€"privileges of the w«^M^MM^^ MIRAKEL CLEANER colony, said: "I can conceive of noth- lng~tna:ris more likely to itavr a sal- utary effect on the artistic output of this country than what is being done at Peterboro". In a recent letter written during Mrs. MacDowell's last tour to Flor- ida, she says: "I feel so tired. I feel Does all that any dry cleaner will do and more than most of them.
