in. He talked terms. I plastered on

I'm to see him tomorrow and some
thing tells me he's going to bite and

I'm sure he will" Sandra's pre-
diction was jubilant. Il have sur

"Fired?' Steve laughed. You

Impossible" Stephen slowed their
pace and peered into Sandras face.
Il mean-was it something you did
tonight?"

party at the Terrace Roof. I refused
to go. 1t was go or get out. so I'm

Don't worry. Leave Segal to me.

Segal was still holding it. The market
for skits at this season of the year
was low, practically non-existent. Best
to leave it with Segal for the present.

Leonardo-the Mona Lisa and the Last

Evidence Of Leonardo's having produced
many other paintings OF great excellence, com
positions and portraits, exists IN various wrlt-
ings," explains Prof. Paulson. Despite the
fact that during the past four centuries his
works have always been highly esteemed. ths
rest Of them nevertheless have disappeared.
We hope that many Of them have merely been
lost rather than destroyed, so that there may
be hope OF recovering some of them"
Since this first report of his work in Art
and Archaeology Prof. Paulson stated IN an
interview with the writer that Leonardo da
Vinci signed the "Mona Lisa" according to
color reproduction, photographically made,
which he has studied.
Incredible as 1t would seem that the sigma
ture could be overlooked all these years, the
statement is made that faint marks forming
the initials DAWN are distinguishable. These
initials he detected on . good color print one

would like to know. SO far, he has had no
opportunity to make the test, but he thinks 1t
might settle the argument as to the genuine
ness Of the Louvres most famous picture. It Is
highly doubtful, he says that . copyist would
have noticed and reproduced the significant
brush marks In exact signature form.

The letters that Prof. Paulson reads and

Yet the discovery of something new Is re-
ported
Down in Raleigh, at the State College Of
North Carolina, young assistant professor Of
architecture, j. D. Paulson, has been studying
reproductions of famous paintings, particularly
those of uncertain authorship, with an eye out
for inscriptions He has hunted the way you
might search puzzle picture If you suspected
bits of writing concealed in odd corners.
He announces that he has found what he
was seeking inscriptions Faded by time,
obscured by dirt, or purposely concealed by the
noticed notations and signatures said to
lurk in the draperies, stones or other unobtru-
sive bits of background, bearing patient witness
to the pictures origin.
