ed uncles and their habits. they either
spoil or repel the small chaps and chap
pesses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident of

Unclehood is a relationship that man
has to accept. 1t is thrust upon him.
He can't help himself. To be father
or a mother is a matter of volition. But

"Oll PAINTINGS.
Those That Cost 80 Cents Apiece and
Sell For 81.

Most of the cheap oil paintings"
said the picture dealer, "are lone by
Italians on the east side in New York.
They work i'll tnair living rooms, and
most of the paintings have several
half grown children as assistants. The
wholesale dealers have a number OF
such artists on their books and agree
to take all they can do, the firm sup
plying the canvas, but not the paints.
OF course the PICTURES are done rapid
ly.
IAN expert will range six or eight
canvases on n shelf that is used in
stead of an easel and generally has a
colored print tackled up above as copy.
Then he proceeds to rapidly block in
the subject. A favorite scene is a
mountain lake with a ruined temple in
the foreground. He will indicate the
lake, the sky and the mountains with
out attempting any details and pass on
to the next canvas. By the time he is
through with the last one the paint on
the first is dry. and he proceeds in the
same order with the trees, clouds and
temple. Meanwhile his helper is put
ting in all the small accessories, and
by the time daylight wanes the row
will be done. By this system of work
ing the artist does not have to be con-
tinually changing his brushes. and he
loses no time in waiting on the drying
of pigment.
I'VE sell such picture as he would
turn out at about 81, including frame.
the net cost of the canvas to the deal
er being in the neighborhood of 80
cents. The workman gets 40 cents
apiece for his paintings. and most Of
them average 80 day year in and
year out. l know one man who makes
just double that amount, but he has
two clever children. AS you may see.
some of the pictures are by no means
devoid of merit in spite of their slap
dash handling. In fact, good many
of the 40 cent artists occupy their
leisure in doing artistic things which
they may or may not be able to sell.
The others bring in steady income
