who has lost all conscience, but yet is

true artist is a clear perception and a
fine bold hand, in distinction from that
imperfect mental vision and uncertain
touch which gives US the feeble pic
lures and the lump statues of the mere

swer will be published Monday. An
swers will be received until 9 a. m.
Monday.
"Under the Dome" closed its three
nights and matinee engagement at the

up against a tough proposition here in
The shape of the cold weather.
