Mother

scheme Of royal reds Of THE Woman
In Red"
Whistler, his amour propre always
sensitive, saw in this curious juxta-
position not a coincidence but q con-
spiracy to belittle his work and to
make him ridiculous before the world.
From seeing gray he saw black in a
thunder cloud of anger that burst on
all on whom his suspicious turned. He
never took cognizance Of Dannat's ex-
istence again and surprised the inno-
cent and amiable curator Of the Lux
embourg Museum by never again
speaking to him whom he considered
as chief conspirator in the matter.
The Portrait OF My Mother" and
the woman in Red" have been sepa-
rated at last by the great war, safely
slowed away from the enterprise Of
possible art collectors from across the
Rhine. They may be placed. as are
many Of the masterpieces of French
museums, temporarily in the safe Sc
clusion of some provincial art museum

keeping the system free from histori-

In our younger days We found the

In due time We descended upon the

summoned a surgeon. The surgeon
