Indeed I can." said Mr.. Frimbls
promptly. Turn left at the next

map and tried to compare 1t with
the surrounding terrain. But there
was no resemblance, and the wind
slapped him in the face with the map,
knocking of his eyeglasses. He folded
it into a new set of accordian pleats,
showed it into the side pocket Of the
car and pushed on.
The shadows of the bare trees had
heightened until they formed q marble
pattern on the road. Mr.. Frimble
became conscious Of an increasing
chilliness, chilliness that was In
ternal rather than external. He wasn't
hungry, but he decided to stop at the
next lunch stand for a bite OF food
and, possibly, bit of information.
At Pete's Bar B-Q he consumed two
leathery frankfurters and cardboard
cup of parafln-flavored coffee. Then
he asked Pete about the road to Gim-
perville. Pete confessed apologetically
that he had never heard of the place.
Mr.. Frimble said that was quite all
right, and climbed back into his car.
At Ye Eatery, farther down the road.
he ordered q piece of lemon meringue
pie he didn't want and put his ques-
tion to the waitress. She assured him
that she was a stranger there her
self. Mr.. Frimble thanked her, tipped
her q quarter and scuttled on his way.
As the afternoon wore on, Mr..
Frimble was surprised to find himself
growing hardened to the humiliation
of asking questions. Perhaps it was
because he always asked In vain;
hence there was no sense Of indebt-
edness on his part. Nobody seemed to
know the way to Gimperville.
It was nearly dusk when Mr..
Frimble pulled up before q big, white
farmhouse. An old man was chopping
wood in the front yard. 81 beg your
pardon" said Mr.. Frimble, getting
out Of the car, "but can you tell me
how to get to Gimperville?
THE old man laid down his ak and
i settled himself on the chopping
block as If he intended to stay there
for while. Reckon can" he de-
clared. .The town was named for my

rather than appeal to q policeman or
q passer-by. And if he did finally ad-
NIT defeat, he used to get his bearings
subtly by stopping at q cigar store,
buying a package Of cigarettes and
then engaging the clerk in general
conversation that would eventually
lead up to the subject of local geogra-
ply.
A FTER he bought car the phobia
grew worse. The only people he
could bring himself to ask directions
of were filing station employees, and
then only after making liberal pur-
chase. He would, If worst came to
worst, order 10 gallons OF gasoline

and then, as the attendant was max
ing change, say casually, "By the way.
which Is the best route To-" That
was not so humiliating; it implied
that he knew several routes and was
undecided only as to the choice.
But on this particular afternoon Mr..
Frimble needed no oil or gas or water;
he didn't even need spare tire. There
was no excuse for stopping at filling
stations and asking casual questions.
Furthermore, there seemed to be no
filling stations along this highway.
Mr.. Frimble drove on with deep
ening conviction that he was travel
ing in the wrong direction. Once he
stopped by the roadside, untolded the

ings of prize fights and one paint
ing-"At the Tap of the Gong" very
distinguished. But this virile artist
of the prize ring can handle the etch-
ing needle with the utmost delicacy
and sensitiveness of feeling. His
etching Of landscapes with figures are
in fact lyric in quality and Of the
school Of Romanticism. At the
moment the writer recalls none other
contemporary American artist SO
versatile and many-sided. The forth
coming exhibition of his etchings can
not but be anticipated with unusual
interest. 1t has been arranged at this
time by the Division of Graphic Arts
of the National Museum, in part, as
compliment to the commission Of the

politan Museum Of Art, at which phe-
nomenal prices were brought, repre-
sentatives of the leading art museums
of the world as well as famous collect
ors vying with one another in the
matter of purchase for possession.
The Metropolitan Museum acquired
four for its permanent collection; two
of the most valuable were bought for
the British nation and at a great
price; others were secured for national
collections in Holland and Sweden.
In all, the sale netted s34o,65l.

inasmuch as a collection has been
started for our National Gallery
through gifts and purchases, the latter
from income on a small endowment
