THE: SINNERS SUNDAY

men-weIl, they had elegant shapes IN
those days didn't they?" Imply returned
the Sinner. Now. look at that 1ady's
foot over there. I'll bet she never wore
Du Barry heel. And I don't believe she
ever wore a dog collar around her waist
or a starched linen fence around her
neck. If there's anything 1 despise it's
to see a woman wear tight collar
which makes a red streak around her
neck every time she turns her head.
Why, some OF them wear their collars
so tight that the skin bulges out over
the top. 1t makes me gag to look at
them"
@T think the men do a lot of queer
things with their clothes. too" re-
marked the Little Woman. Now. for
instance, I always admired knicker-
bockers. VIII you tell me, honestly,
why every man is opposed to wearing
knickerbockers? They would make a
much handsomer appearance than those
ugly long trousers"
The Sinner hesitated in some embar-
rassment.
Well" he finally snorted. eff I had
the say Of knickerbockers I'D fight EN-

oh" said the Little Woman" rs it
a question of upholstery"
Let's go upstairs and look at the
students exhibition" replied the Sin
ner. THE pupils are showing their
pictures, and from sense of good citi-
zenship l think we should look them
over carefully"
As the Little Woman has learned wis
dom with her years, she merely smiled
and assented. and presently they stood
in the south gallery, commenting upon
the attempts at art which confronted
their vision
Strange" quoth the Sinner. Some
of these young painters must be color
blind. Now, take that nude man model
there. ! see six pictures of him.. Every
one gives him a different colored skin.
Besides which. some have made him
lean and some have made him fat Here
he is slab-sided, and there he is GER
tainIy suffering from curvature Of the
spine. This one must have pain some
where, judging from the expression OF
his face, and this other one looks as IL
he was IN an opium dream. And what's
the matter with all their hands? Here S
a picture where one hand is twice as
long as the foot, and the other hand
must have dropped OF, for / can't see
Il anywhere And why have they all
got such ugly faces, and sit or stand or
lean in such agonizing positions? Say,
let's get out of here or l shall feel
my own anatomy getting out of order" q"
But the next room contained sketches
of skeleton hands, vetebrae. et cetera.
and the Sinner hurried through with a
shuddering glance.
Makes me think OF when I studied
physiology in school and we dissected a
cat once" said he. Now. here's some
thing like" pausing before a furnished
dolls house made by the Juvenile
class" Amt that cute? Dc you re-
member when / made you a dolls house
when we were children? Only mine was
wood and this is only pasteboard. Say
let's go over and see II Mr. spinola is
still on deck
"Who IS Mr.. Spinola?" wonderingly
asked the Little Woman.
why, don't you know Spinola? Spino-
las an olA friend of mine He was d
count or a marquis or something and
had his picture painted by that fellow
Roobens. It's over here in one OF tho
middle rooms. tell you, Roobens was
a painter all right. Maybe you won't
believe it. but If you look at Spinola
long enough, he'll wink ~
don't seem 10 grow painters like
Roogens these days. I wonder why1'-
