1t is wonder what becomes Of all To

self to the majority. They mean somehow
to paint portraits or great compositions
in the future, and they peg away for a few
years, only to make part OF the hopeless
majority of unsuccessfuls. Some Of zoe
women solve it by getting married, and
few of the men turn to other pursuits, ana
