owners and "laid up" lake captains sat
around cheerful base-burner in saloon

them told a story. There might have
been an ounce of truth about it, but the
crowd felt certain that the one ounce
was offset by twenty-feur pounds of the
"awfulest kind" of lying. Therefore a
second man told story to beat it, and
then third man beat the second. When

Painting Black Eyes.

New York cor. Chicago Tribune.
Of all the odd occupations of the
Metropolis, probably the oldest is that
of genius who advertises to "paint
black ewes and bruised noses so as to
defy detection" His place is on Gen.
ter street, and his sign is read daily
by thousands who ride up and down
in the Fourth avenue cars, but many
of whom doubtless regard it as joke.
But it is the most serious thing imag-
Unable, and the party is occasionally
overrun with work. This locality,
however, is on the edge ofthe slums of
New York, and his customers are
among the plug-uglies and glover
classes, who get into a row and come
out with a blackened eye. Those who
are politicians Gas most of them are)
wish to be presentable the next day;
50 off they go to this painter-chap, who,
with the skill of an artist, proceeds to
paint over with flesh-colors the dark
ened hues. This interesting business
is not confined to one locality nor to
one individual. A well-known por>
trait painter, whose studio is not far
from the National Academy building,
has, contrary to his own wishes, found
himself occupied quite extensively, the
past year, in covering up with flesh
colored paint the black and blue spots
on the human face divine. He re>
Gently informed me that the first case
he had came from volunteer offer on
his part to paint over a bruised place
upon the eye of friend. He succeed
ed so well that soon after another case
offered; and still later it became noised
around among actresses and actors that
he was an adept in covering blotches.
Now, strange as it may seem, there
are thousands in this city who think it
very smart trick to follow in the
wake Of the theatrical profession, to
initiate or ape actresses,-as witness
the efforts of Leading modistes to be
known as the proteges Unpopular fash
ionable theaters. The business grew,
until my artist friend assured me that
hardly day passes that he is not
called upon to exercise bis skill in this
peculiar line.
