Dwight Elmendorf has ever been a
lover OF art, and 1t was years ago that he
began, entirely for his own amusement

TO add a few new pictures 10 his collec-
ton. Being an artist himself Of no small
talent, and coloring his views as he al
ways does, before the painting itself. he
has been able TO make fair counterfeit
OF the original, and now. with so diversi-
fed and complete a collection of these re-
productions, he has decided TO take as
one subject OF his fall series OF lectures
