GOOD PRESS AGENT WORK

When September Morn was painted it did not make any
special stir in the art world. The artist represented a young girl
with her feet in a creek and nude. She was shivering with the
cold and hesitating about going in any deeper. In spite of the
girls nudity there wa nothing loud or shocking in the painting
and the subject had been deIcately handled.
But the artist was a shrewd fellow and hit N the idea of
getting some good advertising out of the picture and got a G
hgious weekly to severely criticise it. This was the starter. The
clergy following the lead of the pious newspaper took up the
cry which made the picture about as popular a s any picture
of recent years. 1t has been reproduced a million times in va
rous styles and the artist has reaped a fortune.
Now comes a London preacher and has selected the famous
masterpiece of DE Vincini as the object of his wrath.
Why this particular picture has been ranked as a master
piece few people al ever figure out. 1t is merely a portrait
of a woman and not a specially beautiful one in an ordinary pose.
But the London preacher has suddenly discovered something
especially bad about it and pronounces the picture the >'embodi-
ment of all the evil that the artist could think Of About all
the reply a man a think of in this connection is 'rats!'
1t looks as if some big firm was about to flood the mar
ket with a chrome reproduction of this work and was doing some
cheap but effective advertising.
The fiat money that the revolutionists print in Mexico don't
seem to be held in much esteem. The shop keepers refuse to take
it on any basis. The soldiers, when the money is refused, proceed
to demohsh the store and appropriate the contents. Even these
drastic measures do not seem to popularize this particular form
Of currency.
