attributed to La Tour for $50 francs.
She found out later that the dealer
had paid just 80 francs for them.
What did she do? What would you
have done? This woman did nothing.
Some time in the future. If she cares
to sell her La Tours. she can prove
that she paid a certain dealer $50
francs for them. and the dealer will
not deny it, nor will he reveal the
secret OF their origin. Perhaps some
American millionaire of tho future
will proudly display those two pic
lures to his friends and mention
quietly the price he paid for them.
There are dealers who have built
up great fortunes by playing upon
this weakness Of human nature. They
are to be found in this country as
we'll as in France and elsewhere.
Their method Of procedure is highly
ingenious and publicity would be
fatal. For instance. if picture
which they know to be false is to be
put up at auction, it is a common
practice for them to- plant their con-
federates in the auction room. These
dummy bidders are clever psycholo-
gists and are able to run bids up to
ridiculously high figures. One by one

such things as flattery and other

INDEED. 1t is a crisis fraught with
i dangerous possibilities that NJ.
Guiboud has precipitated. Even IL he
himself is innocent and is proved to
be so, he may cause real hardship to
people who are also innocent of
wrongdoing. He may bring about the
loss Of millions TO people in no way

doubtedly deprive many a striving

which were in reality produced by
some hungry vagabond in an attic
near Montmartre. Art lovers who
have devoted their lives and their
fortunes to the collection Of valuable
pictures have learned all this with
dismay. What assurance have they
that the Rubenses. or Fragonards, or
Corots. for which they paid huge
sums. are not the handiwork Of some
unscrupulous forger?
Hush it up at any cost" NJ.
Guiboud's associates say to him.

touched the bit of red ribbon in his

of Honor-"I must clear myself in the
eyes of the world"
It must be said that NJ. Guiboud is
a man to inspire confidence in his
good faith. But it should be noted
also that he has made bitter enemies
among the ultra -moderns for what
they consider his reactionary attitude
toward their daring experiments in
new forms.
