Brought by his poor parents from

Wilson the initial impulse that sent him

What was the. outlay of money before
these miles of canvases could be put be-
fore the public? II has been estimated
that to paint these pictures over $40, 600
square feet Of canvas were used, while
$50 feet of material was needed to
properly frame them. The manufacture
of frames alone is huge industry. Some
are made of wood or composition, gilded.
bronzed or covered with gold leaf; others
are machine carved, while the artists of
afifuence often resort to magnificent speci-
mems Of the skilled wood carvers' art to
enhance the artistic value of their paint
ings. The celebrated painter. Menard,
once said that he never showed even his
most intimate artist friends picture
without its fsLme, and while painting he
puts the picture In its frame from time
to time so as to be able to Judge properly
for himself IL the desired effect is being
