or has got tired of that sort of fun. That
IL has not forgotten how to squirt water
was shown by little performance last
week
A man who was leaning over the railin z
around the pool looking down AZ the big
seal, spat at it. Very probably IT, all the
years the Zig seal has been there nobody
ever did that before. Plenty of people
have stood near and looked down on 1t
tauntingly. or tried TO chat the big fellow
in one way or another jumping back then
before it could wet them down; but this

the first time that anybody had spat at
the seal
But the seal squared accounts with this

mouthful Of water, pint or more, and
IL threw the water with unerring aim all
over the man who had spit at it,

Two Portraits by Amap.Jean.

NJ Aman-Jean il known among the
younger group of Parisians who. without

OF luminosity. He has made his own
special mark in pictures, distinctly decora-
tive in composition, whose figures stand
beside water wrapt in dreamy contcm-
plation that seems in tune with the pen
sive stirlessness Of the ambient air, or
disport themselves in the elegant sur
roundings Of an old Italian garden, them
selves attired in sixteenth century cos
tune. But he is also portrait painter
and is visiting this country TO follow that
meter.
He has two examples on exhibition; one
at Durand-Ruels Of a lady, painted In
Paris. and the other AT knoedler'S, exc
cuted since his arrival here. or the two

the establishment OF a custom house at
