NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-TSpecial CORE
spondence of THE HERALD. The crazy
quilt passed long ago to its final rest; peace
to its ashes. This morning l heard a eulogy
to its memory. Frederic Remington, who
paints blanketed savages and their scrubby
ponies quite as they are, and not in the
least as the imagination of the romantic
pictures them, is, in spite of the frmness
with which his feet are planted on the road
to fame and the distance they have already
carried him, in the opinion of many quite
within the portals, so young man that
when the full frenzy of the crazy quilting
mania struck the little northern New York
town in which he was raised dozen or
or fourteen years ago, he was lad at home
who had never taken pencil in hand with
artistic purpose, but who had nothing more
pressing with which to fill an odd quar-
ter hour than the turning over OF the
scraps of silk and ribbon in his mothers
basket and the idle sorting of them in
whimsical designs.
One day for amusement, pure and sim
| pie, he made, in his mother absence, rough
pen and ink sketches on various quilt blocks
of the family cat and dog engaged in vari-
Gus scrimmages. His mother, finding the
crazy quilt decorated with these additional
alterations, rightly considered each new
touch of lunacy desirable help towards
establishing its utter unsoundness OF mind.
She exhibited it 10 her neighbors, who one
and all were, not destroyed by the gods,
but certainly made mad--with desire to
possess crazy quilts like Mrs. Remlngton's IS.
If you were to explore the spare rooms
of Canton, up in frigid but invigorating st.
Lawrence county, you could probably lind
to this day some half dozen spreads
bearing bits of landscape, figures, fancy
1 touches of all sorts done with brush or pen
by young Remington in his polite willing
ness to oblige the crazy quilt coterie. These
spreads may some day be of value as Elk
hibiting genius IN bud The enthusiasm of
the crazy quilt women, so hear, awoke in
Remington the first suspician that he could
draw; afterward came his ranching expert
ences, and the rest the world knows.
= Speaking of artists, one of the most prom
inent illustrators in the country, who had
more confidence in himself in the beginning
than had Remington, was rebuffed on his
first application to publishing house by a
member of the firm who knew him well
enough to indulge in the friendly sarcasm,
bend your talent to art stoves; you won't
do for magazines In these days of his
prosperity the artist never sends letter to
this publishing house, for which, by the
way, he does much of his work, that he
, doesn't sketch somewhere at the top or bot
tom of his paper an art stove.
