When Sir Henry Irving was staying lGte.y at
the Queens Hotel. Manchester, small boy
about ST; years cid. son of MIR. William MOlli-
son. a well known ne ntber of Sir HenryS com
Tany, strayed into his rooms one afternoon. In
vited to make himself nj home and take some
rtfreshment. he consumed - pear and bottle
of lemonade with apparent satisfaction. Then
gazing steadfastiy ut his host, he said, Il do
miss Phil May" so DO we ALL" said Sir
Henry, Gravely. Yes. but l miss him most"
pursued the child. He was my chum." "Ah!
that makes il very hard" said Sir Henry. There
vas a long pause. and then the little fellow
asked very earnestly. VIII you be my chum

this country. The Journal gives the Count s
description Of Whistier's method Of painting. in
which he lays stress. the infinite considera-
ton the painter gave to the minutest touch
upon his canvas sometimes taking hours to the
perfecting of u single detail. Whistler painted,
we believe. two portraits Of his French friend.
We wonder if this full-enGth is the one over
which the inevitable quarrel is said to have
arisen.
