A second erroneous impression that fills our
homes with photographs, engravings and
process reproductions is that one must be
possessed OF some considerable fortune TO own
good paintings. We pay SIS, maybe, for an
etching; very good for wall decorations, but
OF little value as a work of art. For the same
price we can buy one OF Mr.. Burleigh's water
colors that would bs worthy place In any
collection. So. In almost every studio in
town we can get for some such ridiculous sum
a gooi example OF the artists work, though
not one OF Importance. And don't be afraid
to ask the artist for what he will sell any
picture. and don't be afraid. IL his price is too
high. To say what you are willing to pay.

Sculpture is less familiar than painting TO
us in America especially in Providence. One
bold artist has decided TO make his fight
here, however, and his first efforts are meet
