Out Of Sight.

Harry is ten-year-old boy who indicates
disposition to become an artist. In this
he is assiduously encouraged by his father
The lad has a 'box of paints" brushes,
pencils and plenty of rough paper Harry's
father is devoted to the theory of realism
in art and literature, and occasionally lee
lures his little boy on the duty of trying to
represent things just as he sees them.
IF you are always accurate, faithful,
true to the fact; if you try to give in NINA
ture representation of what your ewes
really behold, you will be always in the
right way. Do you understand what
mean, Harry" said the father recently.
Eyes, papa, think do.''
Not long afterward Harry invited his
father to come and see his picture of a
mountain. 1t consisted of a considerable
quantity of sand and gravel shoveed
around and upon the projections of rough
bowlder in the back yard.
"You have not quite caught my mean
ing, Harry, though you are certainly very
conscientious" said the father, jocular,y
ITS magnificent, but it's not art. You
should not use the materials of your orig
nal in copying it. That would be to make
model. You must try to draw a picture
of what you see; draw it with pencil and
paper, and colors, too, if you like Don't
draw anything you don't see. dare say
that is the easiest way Of telling you the
sound artistic rule
Soon Harry came back with his drawing
pad.
Here's picture of pigeon, papa"
Pigeon! don't see any pigeon Why
there is nothing but a straight up ans
down line, and two others meeting it al
