there's something common in every

little time for any but his own work
He told me story demonstrating this
most clearly. His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold. Valparaiso" was in the Hill
collection In Brighton. Mr.. Hill had
two galleries and we'll known collec-
ton, eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler went down to see, Mr.. Hill.

time and heard little singing. When

song which | disliked, but he was
fond of it because of its words. One
evening we had a few friends here.
