Uncle Wiggily said it didn't mat

tail to buy him new sled, but the
pig would not take no for an an
swer, SO the rabbit gentleman put on
his fur coat and went to the store
with the pig to buy new sled.
Mr.. Twistytail bought Uncle Wig
gily the first sled in the toy store
and as the rabbit gentleman was
going out he saw on the counter
what seemed to be a large snow
ball.
Il don't see how you can keep a
SNOWFALL from melting in your warm
store" said the rabbit gentleman tC
the cat lady who kept the toy store.
"Yet I don't see any puddle of wa

THAT is a trick SNOWFALL new
ed the cat lady. 1T is made Of wax
and white cotton and looks just like
a SNOWFALL. But see here
She pressed on hidden spring,
! the SNOWFALL, which was about as
large as a teakettle, opened on him
ges and inside was a box of candy.
Its a gift said the cat lady
who was Scotch.
"a trick gift!" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. I'll buy SNOWFALL like
! that and fool my wife"
THAT will be fun!" grunted the
pig.

rying the trick SNOWFALL made OF
wax and cotton, Uncle Wiggily soon
reached his bungalow. Supper hao

real indeed and not at all pretend
Uncle Wiggily plopped it down on
the table in front of his wife.
"Wiggy!" she cried in surprise
jumping up. THE idea! Don't bring
snoWballs into the bungalow They'll
melt and make puddles on the
floor"
This SNOWFALL won't melt!'
chuckled the bunny gentleman
"Of course it will! Why not!
! Throw it outdoors" cried Mrs
Longears. And then, with laugh
Uncle Wiggily opened the snowfall
and when he took out the box ol
candy his wife was so surprised she
sat down in her chair backwards

UNCLE WIGGMY'S SNOWFALL

That night when Uncle Wiggily
had given. the animal children hot
rice pudding to warm them after
their coaSting fun something else
happened. You remember, 1 think,
how Uncle Wiggily fooled the Bad
Chaps by giving them a pail OF
snow pudding to eat. They, thinking
it was rice pudding with whites OF
eggs on top, such as the animal
children had, froze their teeth and
ran away,
1t was toward evening when a
knock sounded on the door of Un-
Gle Wiggily's hollow stump 'bunga-
low. .1
II wonder who that can be?'
whispered Nurse Jane.
"Wiggy will open the door and
look to see who it is, said the rab-
bit lady sweetly. Wont you, Wig
gy, my dear?"
"Suppose-suppose it should be
one of the Bad Chaps coming back,
angry and cross because l fooled
him with snow pudding?' asked the
/ rabbit. Perhaps I had better not

any school that would throw technique
and truth of representation overheard
for shortcuts to art" or excursions
| into the extreme.
Which brings us back to his re-
vealing discussion of his method in
creating this mural. There were no
shortcuts there. No line would do
until completely satisfying ir
I the preliminary drawings. And soma
of these were done over, perhaps five
or six times. before they caught the
life and the meaning the artist sought
to project. The posture Of an arm, a
hand, must be realized in charcoal
sketch to the complete satisfaction OF
the artist before he can 60 on.
Perhaps most interesting to the
uninitiated Is to learn that most OF
the figures in the painting, though
draped as they appear there, were
| first drawn in the nude. The artist
thus satisfies himself of fidelity to
the human form, figure of flesh and
blood under the drapery, that he
couldn't attain by ismply drawing the
draped figure and letting it go at
thati In this method, transparent
tissue is dropped over the drawing
in the nude, and the drapery is drawn
on The tissue. Thus the figure, logi-
cally. first comes to life in the nude
and then is dressed! This method is
illustrated in the drawings reproduced
in the rotogravure section.
Artist Must Feel Balance.
Satisfied, after perhaps months of
work. with his definitive drawings of
| the figures and other elements, the
artist then moves to the next stage,
The drawings are scaled up into a
| full-siZe drawing of the whole scene
! in complete detail. The artist thus
has, for his final critical judgment Of
balance and harmony in the compo-
sition. a full-scale representation of
the work in black and white" 1t Is
interesting to learn that not until!
he had looked upon this full-scale
drawing did Mr.. White detect, or feel,
a disharmony in the position of the
fourth figure from the right IN the
mural-that Of the grandmother spin
ming wool In fronting position
then, he later turned the figure
toward the center
The delicacies of balance and har-
mony the artist must study and feel
in perfecting such an intricate COM
position are perhaps difficult for the
layman to appreciate, said Mr.. White.
And, Of course, when it reaches the
stage Of working IN color, the sense
OF harmony must be even more keen
ly alive in the artist every moment
He went on:
There are, roughly speaking, a
score OF figures on the scene in this
mural. But the difficulty of the task,
either in the composition or the paint
ing, can't be measured by the simple
process of multiplying by 20 the
artistic effort that goes into a single
figure portrait. Every figure in such
a composition must relate. in per-
feet harmony, to all the figures-to
the work as a whole. One jarring
line can destroy that harmony. One
wrong touch Of the brush can de-
stroy it.
"In the brush work on a canvas
of this size the physical energy alone
expended is enormous. The artist
must leave and approach the canvas
endlessly in studying the effect OF

nearly every touch Of the brush-and
perhaps climb q ladder or . scaffold
each time he does. Do you wonder
that I was ready to drop into bed
nearly every night on leaving the
studio? And that I've developed thigh
muscles wrestler would envy?
"Must Forget Time"
Time really ceases to be an element
Of life in the pursuit Of q work like
this. You can't begrudge time to
art-the artist must forget time. Must
stick at the thing until it yields its
full fruit of satisfaction to him re-
gardless Of the time. And in that
satisfaction he must find his life
not merely his work that he wants to
get done and through with. He must
be willing and glad to live, II neces-
sary for years, with and in the thing
he is doing.
There is too much haste in the
world today, haste in life, in art.
Which is perhaps why much today
that purports to be art falls doubtfully
in that category. There isn't time to
develop ones technique, to let ones
spirit mature so that it will have
something to say in art when the
technique Is ready And SO the short
cuts and the subterfuges that have
blossomed out In some OF the extreme
directions of modernist art"
Mr.. White brings a background OF
distinguished work to his execution

several State capitols and other pub
lie buildings, his pictures hang in

From his Paris studio in the famed

With q better understanding of the

grasp why 1t had meant 8 and 10
hours a day in his Paris studio
through the years to complete the
work. But he has had the recompense
already, after its first public viewing

critics there as the most successful
