Mr.. S~torkweather takes q sensible tone
in regard to the picturesque scandals
that cling thickly to the Goya tradition.
Goya was not q saint Of course. but there
l. no use in believing all Of the amusing
stories one hears just because they are
amusing. The gossip that insisted that
the Duchess of Alba posed for both the
celebrated pictures that hang in the
Prado. 1.-THE Maia Desnuda" and THE
Maja Vestida.'' has been whispered so
a~ssiduously and embroidered so beautifully
that now we might make a whole play of
that episode alone. but Mr.. Starkwe ather
reduces the story to the minimum and
insists that it is unsupported by any
evidence.
1t is not impossible that Goya's model
presented that combination so unhappily
familiar to artists Of a beautiful body
with a commonplace head; to have remedied
this lack Of facial charm Goya may have
introduced into the features either con.
sciously or unconsciously some traces
Of the type Of the Duchess whom he had
painted 20 often and whose features he

was q master Of the "chic" and could

tcrnOon, the total registration at the
office of the county clerk for the com

more seeming than otherwise, owing to
the fact that two years ago every vot-

returned verdict for the plaintiff in
the ease of j. w. Davis VS.. Russell

ease, which was appealed from justice
court, arose over the purchase of a

horse, whereas the horse he bought
was not in accordance with his notion
of that sort of horse. He was death
ly afraid of that horse. So he insisted
that the Clearwaters take him back
