Warren as they passed on to another
freak canvas mass of uurid blurred
red blocks
That's one Of the star pictures

"A girl. she's fairly plain. Here's
her leg, she's kicking out Get it?'
Can't say that do" unused Warren.
DO you know what Evelyn says
about this?" giggled young woman
I'm front Of Helen. She says 1t looks
like a nose bleed"
''Oh. did Evelyn say that" laughed
the other girl in confused appreciation
Everybody smiled. II was a salient
comment on the picture.
This is supposed to be Paris" some
one said as they moved on TO the next

of this new phase of genius"

These are like the puzzle pictures

cows i'm the pasture Only sometimes
could see those haven't seen any Of
these"
That's because you're too literal. my
dear" scoffed Warren. You lack the
soul of an artist. Look at the crowd
here"
But YOU know it's only curiosity"
insisted Helen heatedly They're only
trying Ia find the man or the cows. oh,

Seutfully. And the few really sane
