it did not come within his province.

central authority for buildings. This
body Went into the matter and con-
cluded that the water authority should
deal with the subject But. no; the
water board opined that it was for the
conservators Of rivers. and this body
decided that rabbits could not be

A WHISTLER PICTURE.
The Story Of Henry lrvins's Portrait
n Philip II,

The Story Of Henry Irvins's Portrai'
as Philip II.
The queer ups and downs Of a pie
ture are illustrated by the history OF
the portrait by Whistler of Henry lr
wing as Philip ii. of Spain. now hang
ing in the Metropolitan museum. in
New York. Whistler at precarious
period of his career asked his friend
Irving to sit to him for portrait in
the. character in which Irving was
then playing. Philip IL. The portrait
was painted. and Irving. much pleas
ed. requested Whistler to let him buy
1t and to name price not too high
for his slender purse. Having had the
pleasure of Whistler's acquaintance,
the writer can imagine the following
conversation:
mot too high. Jimmy! You know
aha-that actors-now, modestly. jim
my"
my dear Irving, It's masterpiece.
but you shall have it for a song-let
us say thousand pounds"
'"ToO much. Jimmy-too much!"
Whistler kept the portrait. Soon
after. in one Of those unpleasant expe-
riences which he shared with his
great master. Rembrandt, he was sold
out for debt. Rembrandt was sold
cut only twice The Butterfly" un-
derwent three such forced sales.
Irving heard Of the sale. Unknown
to Whistler, he was able to buy his
portrait at the auction for a song, and
then in spirit of friendly retaliation
he invited the Butterfly to dinner.
After the coffee and cigars he remark
ed. "Aha. my dear Jimmy. you must
see my latest acquisition" and invited
him in to see his pictures, not men
tioning the fact that he had bought
the portrait. Whistler went from one
picture to another, criticising, admir-
ing, with that subtle, biting wit of his.
md. coming in front Of the portrait,
ne gayly remarked: "Aha! What have
we here? My congratulations, Henry
the best picture in your collection
ae never turned hair. This picture
lfter Irving's death brought $4,000
It auction in London. and we are
ucky to have it here now. This was
| legitimate advance in price. and the
picture is worth it. The few pounds
