Dick was devoted to Aida, but
Aida was devoted to art, so devoted,

Dick, as a vision of his artistic ap-
plications to his fathers fence once

Dick did not go into details as to
the exact nature of his art work."
but Aida rose to the bait with joy
| and insisted that he rent the empty
studio above hers and do it some
| more. Whereupon she rushed him
up to it, rented it out of hand from
| the janitor, and bade the immediate
installation of suitable furnishings
Dick could manage the furnishings
very we'll and he evolved a profess
sional looking studio, but that waa
the limit of his evolutions. His empty
canvas Knocked him, and though his
yelveteen painting coat was most be-
| coming, the erratic behavior of his
brushes and paints poisoned his
| JOY.
In the midst of this melancholy
Aida descended, insisting that Dick
| try out for the $1,000 prize offered by
the National gallery for the best pic

| to do but consent, though he felt
himself up against O losing game.

upon his shoulder and he hurreid off
| to his studio and locked the door,
Selling his palette he essayed an
entrance into the realms of the futur-
lists, but he found his colors too dull
! and his brushes too fine to give the
broad effect to which he aspired.
The dove of inspiration WAS still in
| charge, however, and directed him
| instantly to the icebox, which re-
vealed some of the primary colors In

approached the canvas and did bit
| of rapid fire 'arting' that brought
| immediate results.
A spoonful of cranberry sauce gave
a strong central motive, the liquid
part dribbling down and blending
| tremendously into the foreground. A
| few we'll aimed eggs f1anked the red
| effectively and contributed some
| trailing yellow for the foreground.
Applied celery forested the canvas
realistically, and q strip of table
| cover pasted on provided the land
whereon the trees fiourished. The
| shining disk from the top of con-
densed milk can, poised in the lurid
sky, appeared to illuminate this
scene, into which a few swift brush
| strokes projected a rather unsteady
sailboat and trailing wake of sun
| light. Part of this was done while
| Aida hammered vainly on the door,
her strenuous efforts disturbing not
whit this we'll balanced sample of
| artistic temperament.
Dick got the picture away with
out showing it to Aida, nor did he
see hers until 1t came back To cheer
| her up he took her to the exhibition,
where they ran spang into his cram
| berry -omelette creation, the centre of
admiring attention and bearing the
| thousand dollar prize tag.
| Aida had nothing more to say and
| the muse of art was permitted to
smile upon the wedding.
