Conducted for the Community by Richmond Community

He is often called The Van Dyck of
the Eighteenth Century,
AS a child he cared little for school
ing, but very much about decorating
whtewashed walls by means of burnt
sticks. He made his first portrait
when but II years of age.
HIS father, master of a grammar
school, soon abandoned his idea of a
classical education for him and sent
him to London to study art under a
fashionable teacher.
Reynolds painted very rapidly and
often finished portrait in four hours
He had special gift for the portrayal
of children, often using his little niece
and grand-niece as subjects. Among
these one of the best known is "The
Strawberry Girl" which the artist felt
was one of the best he ever painted.
Other well-known portraits painted
by him are Age of Innocence and
"The Angels Heads" In the latter
picture the heads are all of one child
>She was so fascinating that Sir Joshua
could not decide on any one position
for her so grouped five different views
OF her face, added wings and the re
suit is the charming picture with
which we are all familiar.

INTEREST IN WOOL
CENTERSUPON TARIFF
fBy Associated Press)

BOSTON, March 24-The CONNER
cial bulletin tomorrow will say:
Interest in the wool trade has cen
tered chiefly this week upon the in
dustrial situation and the tariff. The
latter is reported agreed upon by the
senate finance committee at 33 cents
a pound, clean content, for woods for
clothing purposes with carpet woods
practically free. 1t is believed that the
government, if this proposal is adopt
ed, will find it very difficult tariff to
administer, and one which probably
will be abandoned very quickly. So
far as the mills are concerned there is
little change. Demands for cloth are
slow and lower wages are declared to
be inevitable. The situation in the
west is still quiet
