A member of the fourth estate,

habiliments of his calling-blue uni

possessed of an adjunct not generally

With which he engaged the police
man in conversation, and learned that
his name was Jens Hansen of the
town hall station. He also learned
that as a dog expert he was a zero.
The canine which was leading Mr..
Hansen about was a cocker spaniel.
And while it was true that Mr.. Ham
sen was on duty he was positively not
on the trail of murderer, robber, or
other evil-doer. He was acting in the
capacity of nursemaid to the dog.

urines by Degas there is evidently
carried over something of the dry psy
chology belonging to his pictorial
studies. He is the inquisitive analyst,
pursuing some reconcile movement Of
form and recording 1t for its own sake,
not the inventive master of beauty,
weaving plastic pattern of loneliness.
1t Is interesting to recall his taste for
lngres and the echoes of classical
style, which are to be Identified in
some of his drawings, especially GER

We must be grateful for the per-

a little anxious and ingenious, at this
point. He doesn't like the notion that

Emile Blanchard was born in New
York. His father, a painter. was a
pupil Of Meissoner, and worked after
the manner of his master. But the
work of the younger Blanchard shows
no trace of Mel sonier's influence. He
began to paint about seven years ago,
but only for his own amusement, not
with the idea of becoming an artist.
In both his paintings and drawings
there is q strong note OF individuality.
