February was the half-way mark in the year's exhibits in New York, the time when, as with the stock market, one looks back and perhaps forwards. The year has not been one of either revelations or revolutions. Last year the department stores discovered modern art, which was something of both. This year they merely carried on, along with the regular galleries which continued to show their masters and masterettes. One new gallery, however, has to some degree stolen the department store's glory. That is the American Designer's Gallery which in its first exhibit has two of the most notable rooms that modern decoration has produced. The first is the bathroom by Varnum Poor. A similar effect is achieved in the room called "Repose," by Joseph Urban.
