did not know Senator Gordon, and
figured there was no tip coming his
way from a man with whiskers. He

A Fifth avenue art dealer said oil
King Leopold of Belgium:
I'm all this uproar of condemnation
let me raise one little note of praise.
''King Leopold had a superb and
incorruptible taste. The chateau of
Laken is one Of the finest in Europe.
The chateau of Cape Ferrat, overlook
ing the Mediterranean, between Nice
and Monte Carlo, established a new
standard in Riviera villas.
LAS a connoisseur of painting the
King was remarkable, and several
famous artists were spared years of
privation and unrecognized struggle,
thanks to his generous aid.
"A French artist once told me that
when he was quite unknown Leopold
admired a painting OF his in the sal
on, and got the artists address, and
babe him come with the picture on
such and such an afternoon to the
Bristol.
So to the Bristol. that quiet and
simple hotel In the Place Vendome,
that only kings, Pierpont Morgan and
Wideners patronize. the artist and his
picture repaired to.
King Leopold praised the picture.
Then he said to the young man:
I'm buy 1t. What Is the price?'
The poor artist hestitated, thou
ght OF demanding a thousand francs,
then boldly said:
1.-TWO thousand francs, your maj
esty.'
"Thereupon Leopold, tactfully and
delicately, taught the young man his
real worth-saved him from selling
for a song for many years pictures
that in his old age he would like
Whistler see sold for fortunes.
