GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives 0Ift
Of Robe That Belonged to Found

The Wesleyan Methodist Connexion
has just received from one of its lead.

the founder of Methodism, according
10 the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1871, so that the garment
Is more than 100 years old.
Time has, of course, left its marks
upon the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material is heavy, and
upon 1t, worked In black, are flowers
and prancing horses. AS the great
preacher was a little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was q
preaching gown, but it Is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
tlat, according to authentic records,
lohn Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and,
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style of black study-gOwn
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented a pair of slippers belonging to
wesley. These are in good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear in his study.

1t was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains
large number of interesting relics Of
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair Of John, and presently,
as gift from the donor Of the gown
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.

What the Reds Are klcjeinu A.

You know what q difference a
shave and q haircut make In your
thoughts" observes the philosopher Of
the Type Metal Magazine, discoursins
Of social problems. You sit in a bar
ber's chair, tired and depressed. A
half hour later you get up, cheerful
and optimistic, refreshed In mind and
body. Suppose you shaved about once
a week. bathed every other week, silent
between dirty blankets in a room with
five other men, ate greasy, badly
cooked food, and worked In a ahop
that never had thorough cleaning.
You might join the Reds and protest
against the government, but you would
really be protesting against dirt and
bad food"

One is exquisite flavor. This
brand is faxed from queen grains

Now there's another style. It
is Instant Quaker Oats = the

world. 1t cooks in 3 to 5 minutes.
so it means an oat dish almost
ready.
Same quality, same favor. But
in Instant Quaker the oats are cut
before taking. They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So
the fakes are smaller and thin

thin fakes cook quickly.
Your grocer has both styles.

can have delicious oats ready in

Great Opportunities
For Art Students, Here

There are great opportunities
for Richmond juniors interested
in art" said Mr. Leigh. They
often have the chance to see art
lists at work, but one thing
would like to tell them is, not to
stay very long watching the art
list. No artist objects to some
one watching him carefully for a
minute or two, but few artists can
work long with people watching
him, without feeling the presence
of the person watching him to the
point where it interferes with his
work"
Mr.. Leigh was very interested
in drawing and sketching when he
was attending Earlham college a
few years ago. Since then he has
studied In New York and Paris,
and has achieved some very favor
able recognition. Before coming
to Earlham, Mr.. Leigh lived in
Spiceland
When asked If he did much
drawing as junior, Mr.. Leigh
responded, NO" and that until he
became a student in High school
he did very little because, though
be was always interested, his early
efforts were SO poor he was dis
gusted with them.

Mr.. Leigh, Visiting Artist, Tells
of an Interesting Young Mode/;
Opportunities for StAdents, Here

THAT boy, James, is fine little
poser" remarked Mr.. Howard
Leigh, pointing out two Autographs
which he had made of a little boy
from a number of very interesting
etchings and Autographs now on
exhibit in the Art gallery. James,
whose complete name is James
Douglas, is little colored boy,
only five years old, who often
poses for Mr.. Leigh. He enjoys
posing very much-oh, no, not be-
cause he is especially interested in
art, but because he receives
twenty-five cents Che sets his own
price, for every hour he poses,
He never thinks to ask to look at
his picture" when 1t is made.
One of the Autographs of James
now hanging in the west room of
the gallery is of him facing the
artist (and, in rather DINNER out
line, a profile view and the other
one shows James fallen asleep-as
he sometimes does when posing.
Mr. Leigh said,-after playing that
an old umbrella skeleton was a
cane. James mother cleans and
dusts many of the studios in a GER
tain part of New York, among
them, Mr. Leigh's. James spends a
great deal of time in Mr.. Leigh's
studio. Best Of all, he likes TO
play the Victrola and dance. His
sister, Jane, often dances with him.
James has wonderful wardrobe,
scarcely appearing twice in ex-
actly the same garb. He has ac-
cumulated many strange caps and
garments from friendly artists,
