then to Chardin. and, after a years
study, again to Boucher. On return
ing to the "Peintre des Graces ct des
Amours" he brought a handful OF
drawings which insured him the de-
sired welcome.
They were sketches made at odd
moments In the great churches of
Paris. where hung canvases solemn
and full OF inspiration. which bcckoned
the young spirit toward a world very
different to that which he afterward
conquered with such transcendent
liability. From now until 1852. when.
at the age OF 20. ne won the Prix de
Rome over Saint-Aubin, Fragonard
came more and more under the spell
OF Boucher, whose nymphs. Dianas
and Auroras fiuttered on every wall
and ceiling. bathed in rose tinted va
por. false and captivating.
The years in Rome. five in all. under
Natolre at the Academy. or passed

graver and able. held unmeasured
richness for Fragonard. At first over
whelmed by Raphael and Michel
angelo. just as Regnault was. and
even Goethe, he quickly found his
level among minor painters such as
Tiepolo. Solimena, Baroccio and Pietro
da COrtona.
Early in 1870 Fragonard, through
the good offices Of Drouais. was en-
gagged to paint four dessus de porte
for the Du Barry Pavilion at Louve-
ciennes, near Marty. The radiant
freshness Of these little panels so
caught the favorite's fancy that a
year later, when the new pavilion ap-
preached completion. Fragonard was
commissioned to execute four large
panels for the main salon, the sub
tects 1t seems, having b en- suggested
by Nine. du Barry herself.
All the chief artists Of the day were
united to make this structure the con-
summation of taste and elegance. Le-
doux was chosen architect. Lecomtc
Pajou. Vase and Allegrain contrib
uted the sculpture. and Drouais and
Nernet the paintings. There were
time pieces by Lepaute. brasses by
Gouthiere. tapestries by Cozette.
and from the glded wainscoting
glanced Greuse's demurely sentimental
Broken PITCHER.
II was in the four panels Dedicated
to this temple Of beauty and license
that Fragonard achieved the cardinal
triumph VI his career. Yet these pam
els. fitting as they seem, never took
their place on the walls Of the salon
for which they were destined. The
reason was not because MmS du
Barry lacked funds to pay for them
or because Viens lubr cous classi-
Cism was deemed more appropriate. but
because the artist had been a shade
too explicit in the matter OF por-
traiture.

even as young and fancful shepherd.
In company with the favorite. The
royal sybarite refused to sanction any
record Of his profigaCy, and Frago-

Fragonard played and perpetuated the
comedy OF love. 1t was he who re-

TECH WINS GAME
ONLUCKY CHANCE
Cole Kicks Field Goal Two
Minutes Before Game Ends;
Williamsport Plays Hard

Tech won from williamsport high
in Saturdays game. score to 0. A
lucky chance for field goal came in
the last quarter. Cole took the chance
and sent the ball over the bar. 1t was
the first victory in two years over Will
Transport. Techs star players were
Lloyd Snyder, Miller McCurdy and
.Cocklin. Speaker and Cornwall played
we'll for Williamsport.
The game was played on a muddy
field during a drizzling rain and hand
ling the ball was a difficult proposi-
tion. At the go-off, the boys from
"Billtown' showed an aggressiveness
that looked bad for Tech. There was
also weakness in interference on the
part OF the local eleven that made
prospects for n victory still worse.
During three periods the two teams
battled hard, keeping the ball moving
up and down the field. Tech did good
work near the close of the first period,
and lost chance to score by not try
ing FOR field goal with the ball in
good position. In the second period
Williamsport worked their split ball,
which for time had Tech guessing.
1t counted for short gains.

Tech started the third period with
several substitutes in the lineup. as
a result of some roughhouse work by
Williamsport These players put new
life i'm the game. Techs good work
continued during the fourth period.
End runs brought large gains until the
ball was on Williamsport's 35yard
line. There was but two minutes to
play. The signal was given for an end
play. The ball was wet and was FUN
bled by one of the linemen, rolling be-
meath his legs. Cole made two at
tempts to get it. Without looking in
what direction the goal posts were he
tried a drop kick. The ball went over
