The lecturer, who is slight graceful
young matron, with a musical voice, de-
lightfully adapted to drawing room talks,

descriptions of American artists and their
work. In referring TO the world-known

law of fashion and patronize artists
abroad instead of encouraging native tai

told by the foreign painter Benjamin
Comstock, at the expense of an American
patron who wanted his advice in the pur-
chase of pictures He directed her to
subject by an American named SimpkinS-
The work was delightful and the price
low. And do you sUppose2" asked the
American patron, that L would care to
call the attention of my friends TO a
picture on my walls painted by man
named Simpkins2''
And so she bought the work of a French
painter not half so good and at treble
the price, because she liked the name OF

work being done by American artists. and
