friends. talk shop, read the latest

The beautiful furniture of red and
green plush, together with the electri-

The Albany has always been known
as being one of the most up to date

A TURNER MASTERPIECE.
Origin Of the Painters Famous "Rain,
Steam and Speed"


OF all pictures by the great English
color poet, Turner, none is more popu-
lar than that which now graces the
London National gallery under the
name of Rain, Steam and Speed"
which was first exhibited In 1914. 1t
Is impossible to reproduce this ade-
Quately.
Concerning the origin of this picture
Ruskin furnishes an interesting tale.
The story was told to him by a friend.
Lady Simon. 1t seems that she was
travelling one night in the early days
OF the Great Western railway from
Exeter to London. when l had taken
off my coat and smoothed my rufiled
plumes and generally settled myself"
she tells. 81 looked up to see the most
wonderful eyes / ever saw, steadily,
lumlnously, clairvoyantly. kindly. pa
ternally looking at me. The hat was
over the forehead, the mouth and chin
buried in the brown velvet coat collar
of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went
on, and the storm went on more and
more until we reached Bristol, where
we waited ten minutes. My old gen
tleman rubbed the side window with
his coat cuff, in vain. He attacked the
center window. again in vain, so blur
red and blotted was 1t with the tor
rents of rain. A moments hesitation
and then. Young lady. would you mind
my putting down this Window
"'Oh, no not at ALL
"'You may be drenched. you know
"'Never mind, SIR
"Immediately down went the win
dow and out went the old gentleman's
head and shoulders. and said, 'Oh,
please let me look
"'Now, you will be drenched.' he re-
monstrated. But he half opened the
window for me to see. Such a night.
Such chaos Of elemental and artificial
lights and noises l never saw nor
heard. He drew up the window as we
moved on. leaned back for some
minutes with closed eyes, then opened
them and said. Well. have been
drenched. but 1t was well worth It.
'He nodded and smiled and again
took to his steady but inoffensive pc.
rusing of my face. The next year. I
think 1t was. going to the academy. I
