Then Demanding Possession.
8 certain eminent English lady, the
proud possessor of title of fairly high
degree, who admired Whistler's gen.
ius to the extent of purchasing one OF
his pictures, never was able to obtain
possession of her property. One day
she drove to the studio in her victoria.
Mr.. Whistler went to greet her.

able to hang 1t on my walls. 1t has

Dear lady" returned Whistler. 'you
ask the impossible | will send 1t to
you when have it again, but it is not
here You have been misinformed."
And so forth. and so forth. to the same
effect. and the lady drove off without
her picture
After she had departed Whistler
commenced to poke around his studio
and. to the great establishment of a
friend who had been an involuntary
listener to the above conversation, he
brought forth canvas.

about one thing-it is beautiful" And
it was beautiful

ed by the application Of business
methods IN the running of the

at the idea. They SAID it couldn't
be done But on the day Of adj
journment Chairman Fitzgei aid of
the Committee on Appropriations,
announced that instead of the
promised $4,000 having been
saved, the amount was S22S. 600!
