but humble creature, pitifully new to
the republic of painters. And who is
Foinet? He has little shop in an an

there keeps colors for tho aocommoda-
tion of impecunious painters. 1t is lit

and living rooms above, but many a
celebrity laid the foundation for his
fame in tho pigments cheerily furnished
by Foinet. Now GS, good nature and
the wholesome reflection of his benovo-
lence from tho fanoies of thousand
friends have kept this marchand do

youthfulness remarked, "Ah." he says.
with twinkle of his kindly blue eyes,

best of colors, ''those fit for the making
of masterpieces, it is quite in keeping
that he should have the rosy freshness
that reddish hair and mustache compile
