Whistler's Odd Ways.

Lord Rcdesdale once gave a descrlp-
zion of Whistler's methods to II meet
ing in London in support OF a memo
rial to the great artist He was paint
ing, he said, portrait Of a lady.
Whistler took up his position at one
end of the room with his sitter and the
canvas at the other end. For n long
time he stood looking ut his model,
holding in his hand a huge brush full.
Of color, such a brush as man would
use to whtewash Il house. Then he
rushed forward and smashed the brush
full Of color into the canvas. Then he
ran back. and forty or fifty times he
repeated this. At the end OF that
time there stood out on the canvas a
space which exactly indicated the fig
urc, the form and the expression OF
the sitter. There was n pathetic story
attaching TO the picture. The bailiRs
were in the house when the picture
was finished. That was quite COM
mon occurrence, and Whistler only
laughed, but he went round his studio
with a knife and deliberately destroyed
all his canvases, including this picture,
which was to have been his N.Ord
