How One Of the Painters Favorites
Came TO America.
In Henry Stevens "Recollections or
Mr. Lenox" is given his version OF the
purchase of Turner by this gentle
man about 1S47," without any title or
description OF the picture, but which is
apparently the "Staffa, Fingal's Cave
stated in the catalogue TO have been
thought from the artist for Mr.. Lenox
by Mr.. Leslie In August, 1910"
G. II. Leslie had been instrumental
in securing for the New York collector
a number of paintings, and on this &C.
casion received from him sight draft
on Earrings for $500, requesting him
to be so good as TO purchase OF his
friend. Mr.. Turner, the best picture by
him he could get for the money" Tur-
ner's grumpy reply" was to the erect
that he had no pictures to sell to Amer
cans, that his works were not adapted
TO their commercial and money grub
bling tastes and that Leslie had better
so elsewhere.
On sight of the draft, however, he
became somewhat Modified, finally
turned around a small picture stand
ing on the floor against the wall and
said: There, let Mr.. LenoX have that.
1t is one of my favorites. He is a gen
tleman, and l retract. Will that suit
you, Mr.. LeslieY"
Mr.. Lenox was at first sight not
much pleased with his purchase, and
so notified Leslie, but he soon wrote
Leslie to burn his first letter: Il have
now looked into my Turner, and it is
all that could desire. "-Scribner's

who wish to continue to manage the
property as one estate.
Mrs. Berry also asks the court to
hullify bequest of $4,000 to La Cour

being a witness to the will.
1t is said that one of the reasons that
La Cour and Maude Lillian Berri- Mou-

property out of the hands of the widow
is that they are afraid that she will
manage the estate to the advantage of
