A NEW EXHIBITION
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—I wonder if your readers would care to know of a little Exhibition we are holding in Oxford at Messrs. Elliston and Cavell's, under the auspices of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England. The Exhibition will be well worth seeing and studying by owners of large or small properties and lovers of the countryside, It will contain photographs showing careful studies of the kind of house which "settles down well into the landscape," and the kind of house which does not, There will also be an exhibit of two villages, the models in which have been made by a well-known architect, In one village the development is ordered and seemly, and looks well in its environment both in colour and position. In the other it is crude, raw and haphazard, spoiling the roadside along which it has been built. There will also be samples of inex- pensive tiles, which in colour and durability resemble the old ones, plans of well-proportioned houses and attractive recep- tacles for litter, It will be opened on March 2nd at 12 noon, by John Buchan, Esq., M.P.—I am, Sir, &c.,
