The Swedish papers are sug gesting that a Montmartre for artists should be founded on the craggy hills of Sodermalm, a dis- trict of Stockholm, rising on a big, green island in the lake and. commanding a beautiful view over the whole city. It is feared that otherwise the picturesque old. houses of Sodermalm are doomed' to perish. The idea is to let such houses in perference to artists, thus creating a colony for the Fine Arts.
