'Why," expostulated the lady hi the
brown dress when the artist who had
painted portrait Of her little daugh-
ter said the price Of the picture was
500, ''you charged Mrs. Crawford only
SOS for the picture you painted Of her
Lucy"
Il am aware Of that fact. my dear
madam the suave and polite artist
hastened to explain, but you must
consider the great difference IN The
cosiz OF the paints used for the hair
Of the two children. The scant, drab
colored hair OF the Crawford child re-
qulred just a touch Of the cheapest
kind OF pigment. but the wonderfully
beautiful and luxuriant cnrls of your
lovely daughter required large guam
tity Of the best paints on the market"
