REFUSED TO BE coMFoa7ED.
One Sabine, ct Least. Felt He Had
Real Cause for Grief.

"Sir Joseph Duveen, who died last
month at Hyeres, on the Riviera, made
his first success" said an art critic,
with his art galleries in New York.
He was undoubtedly the greatest art
dealer of his time.
mo one could gauge the popular
taste as Duveen could. He made thou
sands by buying at low price the
work of unknown men who, later on,
became, as he had calculated, great
financial successes.
"Duveen once told me that he al
ways got his porters to give him their
opinion Of new works. TO get the
public's view he would say, go direct
to the public. Thus you learn surprIs-
ing and valuable things. You find your
hit-ormiss guesses all wrong.
"And to show that frstshand facts
are better than the most ingenious
guessing, Duveen used to point to an
ancient Roman historian
This historian was studying the
rape Of the Sabine women. While the
Sabine warriors were feasting with
their wives, you know, the Romans
stole and married those ladies.
THE historian wanted to study the
grief Of the Sabine men. He visited
them, expecting to find them IN sack
cloth and ashes. Hnt some were play
ing games. others sang and others
again caroused.
"The historian, however. found one
Sabine weeping on q rock. The man
CRASHED his teeth. and now he tore out
handouts Of hair and beard, and anon
he knelt and butted his head hard
against his rocky seat
