the hint. added as many men again, and
the picture was unimpeachable from a
scientific point OF view.
But our modern painters even when
they make the most grotesque mistakes
as they rarely do, can plead that they
err in good company. Did not Albert
Durer, In one of his immortal pictures,
that Of Peter denying Christ, represent
one Of the Roman soldiers in the act Of
enjoying a pipe, an indulgence, which
was, to say the least, premature; and in
the canvas portraying Adam and Ewes
expulsion from their paradise he decked
Eve in a petticoat with fiounces.
Two years ago there was exhibited In
London a beautiful picture by an A. r.
A, Of an Eighteenth century interior,
perfect in every detail but one, for on the
wall of the interior was a small picture
of a very up-to-date locomotives; and in
the same year the writer saw among the
Academy pictures a presentment of a
cavalier evidently waiting impatiently
for his lady to keep the tryst, consulting
a watch which would have done credit
to a Twentieth century matchmaker;
while on another canvas a Pennsylvania
veteran, who was fighting his battles
over again for the benefit Of admlring
rustics at the village inn, was wearing an

Revolution. The family has practically
died out, but the name has chung to the
estate near the bay. Near the house
proper is an old mill and, crudely carved
on beams and planks are dates as early
as 1925 Mr.. Whitney bought this es-
tate about fifteen years ago, but only
lately has he converted 1t into most
habitable country home.
For years, the yellow frame house was
neglected, and 1t is surprising, therefore,
that 1t is so we'll preserved. Mr. Whit
ney has restored the mahogany wains-
coating and the plaster cornices. The
grounds too. are beautifully kept, and
the dog kennels and stables are brand
new buildings. Visitors are particularly
attracted by the genuine green marble
mantels. These were doubtless imported
from Italy, and the mantel in the dining
room is carved to represent fruits. Mr..
whitney who has a fine sense of detail,
has reitted the Garrison house with
copies of Sheraton, and in every way he
has preserved the ante-revolutionary
tone. His daughter-in-iaw, Mrs. Payne
whitney will probably own this estate
some day, because she has spoken for
It," as 1t were.

1t is surely one of the eccentrieities of

Even a painter so careful as Mr.. Good

taking as he was clever In his art, but
on one occasion he put his foot In 1t
grievously, when in a portrait of naval
officer he introduced the union jack paint
ed upside-down, to the Amusement and
horror of service men.
Even the great Turner made some lu-
dicrous mistakes, as when he made
rainbow rub shoulders with the sun. in
stead of taking up a respectful position
opposite TO that luminary, and in other
pictures he has painted his sails black
and has gone woefully wrong over his
rigging.

In boats from the horrors OF the great

troduced vessels of a type which, It is
said, the Thames has never known; and
another artist of repute armed the chill
dren OF Israel with guns. presumably for
seif-protection, while they were occu-
pied in gathering mama.
Continental artists are no less prone TO
slips of this kind than our own wielders
of the brush. In the Louvre there is
famous painting by eros which repre-
sents Napoleon amid the Arctic SHOWS

Fathers Splendid Rural Palaces.

From the New York Press.
Among the most interesting house par
ties of the season have been those of Will
liam C. Whitney at the Garrison house,
near Sheepshead Bay. This old colonial
dwelling is admirably placed on a strip
of land that extends toward the bay.
After the races Mr.. Whitney and small
party would run over to the retreat for
the night. His daughter, Miss Dorothy
Whitney, now a Miss of eighteen, vows
the century-old house is a far pleasanter
place than her fathers rural palaces at
Aiken, Westbury or Berkshires. BY this
time the Whitneys have gone to the
Berkshire estate. The Garrison house
