Her Own Artist.

Artists sometimes have amusing expert
ences with some of their patrons who have
no knowledge of the art and no love for it,
and who buy pictures simply because other
people have them.
One of the best known of Eastern artists
says that he was once visited in his studio
by a showily dressed and loud-voiced
woman, who said, "You give lessons in
painting, don't you"
The artist said that he did, when his
visitor, seating herself for further con-
ference, explained herself thus:
Well, Pll tell you what want. My
husband is building big, new house, and
we haven't half enough pictures for it, and
you artists ask such outlandish prices for
your pictures that / thought, as I've got
plenty of time and nothing else to do, that
I'd learn how to paint my own pictures. /
used TO draw we'll when | was girl"
Another artist says that while in Vienna
he was once waited upon by woman who
said she wanted three paintings for her
parlor.
Il am not particular about the subjects,
but want them to be about by 8 feet in
size, and they'd better have good deal OF
red in them, because, you see, that's going
to be the leading color in the carpet and
furniture, and the pictures ought to match
the rest of the furniture" Youths Com
paaion.
