venting further trouble. But who ever

WhistIsr,s Drawings Of Himself.

In Memories Of James MacNei
Whistler" by Thomas r. Way. the au
thor says:
"Once questioned Whistler as to the
authenticity Of n black and white por
trait of himself. on brown paper, which
my father had bought from him and
afterwarl fancied was by some Other
artist. The reply was amusing; 1t was
to the effect that he was not IN the
habit Of collecting the works Of his con
temporaries. but that at one period OF
his life he had made practice OF draw
ing his own portrait each night before
going to bed and that doubtless this
was one such"
