A real artist doesn't mind if his
works don't sell. The joy of creating
Is enough for. him but at the same time
it is a certain satisfaction to have big
companies asking for his work and
paying him nice fat checks. Mrs.
Hampton Shirer of Boston, formerly
Miss Pauline Haynes of Topeka, is one
artist who is experiencing the joy of
having her. work accepted and sought
out by some of the largest companies
In the east. Cheney Brothers. New
ork. who manufacture silks, pur-
chased one of her designs at an art ex-
ilOAl last Idil ana InlS spring Sn6 LOOK
some more Of her work to show them.
They wanted her to take a steady DO
sttion with them and as. she did not
accept they have made arrangements
with her for a textile design to be sub
mitted at least every two weeks. The
first of her designs they are using will
soon be on the market in silks of four
teen different colors.
CHM & Company OF Boston have
used three of Mrs. Shirer's designs in
their announcement folders. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Shirer are members of Art
and Crafts" one of the most exclusive
art societies of Boston, and thru this
society, which maintains a small shop,
they have sold considerable work. A
jury passes on the work turned in and
the Shirers have never had anything
fail to pass this body. Recently Mrs
Shirer was given an entire case in
which to display her pieces and every
thing she had made was promptly
sold.
Mr.. Shirer is finishing his work in
the architectural department OF Boston
School of Technology and will gradu-
ate in the spring. He is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. L. Shirer of Topeka.
