Turner, the English painter, was
blunt'spoken and often gruff, but OH
occasion he unbent enough to Jest
occasionally at his own expense. The
Bristol Times and Mirror gives an
amusing instance.
His famous picture, 1.-THE Slave
Ship"-that wonderful combination of
flaming and gorgeous colors-was
once described by an exasperated
critic as "a cat having a fit in a dish
OF tomato salad" Turner had never
heard the phrase. but onte when a
salad was passed to him at a dinner,
he put on critical and considering
air as he regarded it, and remarked
to his neighbor:
Nice. cool green, that lettuce, isn't
it? And the beetroot a pretty red

some mustard, and then you have one

You may try to convince yourself

Mr.. Foord repeated these expert
