tells an interesting story. The woman
was an American who had been living
abroad with her husband for many
years. Upon his death she returned,
bringing with her a large collection Of
valuable paintings which had been his
property and which she hoped to sell.
She made arrangements with the auc-
tioneer to handle them for her. and he
was delighted with the cleverness with
which she had obtained vouchers for
each one. It showed enterprise and
thoroughness seldom found in men or
women and made It certain that the
pictures, which were really good ones,
would bring good prices.
