great demand for huge group por-
traits had set in, and Halls profited
by it. He agreed to give those who
contributed the largest sum toward
the group the important places in the
composition, which rivalry increased
many times the prices he would 9TH
erwise have received, and also freed
him from subsequent complaint. They
were jovial folk, those men of Frans
Halls time, and he loved to paint them
as they were.
He had a season of real prosperity,
and might have become rich; but,
after time the commissions inter-
fered with his drinking, and that was
something that Frans could not en-
dure. He loved the tavern better than
the studio; but his mastery over the
brush enabled him to produce vast
amount of work in very short time.
He liked better, however, to paint the
jolly topers and the fisherwives than
the rich gurghers. The time came
when he "sweated" his many pupils,
making them draw and paint subjects
for which he paid them little or moth
ing, which he sold at fair prices to
meet his weekly tavern bills.
From the time he was thirty-three
until he was fifty he lived in HARLEM
His love of the tavern increased. He
grew poorer and poorer; but contin-
ued to paint. His love of bright col
ors seemed to disappear entirely; I'M
til finally he was painting in gray
shadows with backgrounds in almost
jet black. Some say 1t was because
he could not afford to buy colors.
When he was seventy years old a
baker, who not only gave him bread
but lent him money as we'll, appealed
to the courts to compel Halls to pay
his debts. The painters house was
seized and the contents sold to the
highest bidder. One of the greatest
painters of the world was obliged to
appeal to the municipal council in
order to live 1t gave him fuel and
food and an annuity of $50, which he
received until he died.

Smith retired shortly after mid
night, having quit his SHIFT at the
