Mrs. Dean AcheS0n Comes By Her
Rare Painting Talent Naturally
Both Grandfather and
Mother Were Artists
Of Known Ability

Painting comes as natural to
Mrs. Dean AcheSon as breathing.
Her mother is a renowned water
color artist and her grandfather,
on her paternal side, a famous
painter. Five of his portraits of
Indians are now on exhibition in
the Indian Department Of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Over the mantel in Mrs. Ache
sons drawing room hangs a beau
tiful portrait of her father as a
rosy curly-headed baby, seated on
his young mothers lap. The art
list was her grandfather.
So, Mrs. Acheson's artistic tai
ent is q valued heritage, and a
very important part of her exist
ence.
Even while a student at Welles-
ley College she studied art and
when she married shortly after
ward she continued her work.
Girls Are Tall
On the walls of the fine old
house on P Street, which she and
her husband remodeled, are paStels
of her three children when they
we're still small. Now, though in
their early teens, they are taller
than their dark-eyed mother.
Mrs. Acheson is a professional
artist and she doesn't mind saw
ing so. Her Woodcuts and paSUels
have found a ready market here.
In the big studio on the top floor
stacks of paintings lean against
the wall. She has branched out
into oils, is in fact still studying,
though her work is excellent.
Mrs. AcheSon specializes in
human interest paintings, Negro
groups gathered at twilight around
their alley dwellings and she has
done several landscapes of her
farm in Montgomery county.
. Looks Like Pavl0wa
OF medium height and slender,
Mrs. Acheson has an arresting
type of beauty, reminiscent of that
great dancer, Anna Pavlowa. She
wears her hair in the new mode
and it suits her. She is a veritable
dynamo of energy and manages
her home, family, social engage
mentS and painting without ap-
parent effort.
Her house is soothing, artistic
and harmonious. It is obviously
the home of congenial folk who
make living an art. Though It's
mistress has to make trips out of
town to supervise her art ex.
hibitS, the children have loads Of
friends, and there is considerable
entertaining, for Mr.. Acheson is a
prominent attorney, everything
appears serene.
Ms. Acheson recently gave An
exhibition of heads in New York
city. She belongs to the Washing
ton Society of Artists and the New
York Society of Women Painters

CAB FIRMS EYE
WEEKLY PASS
r.. SYSTEM
Drivers and Company
Heads in Favor of
$I.5O Flat Rate

Reports that Washington cab
companies were contemplating the
Inauguration Of a system of weekly
cab passes, similar to those in use
by the Capital Transit Company,
were confirmed today when it was
learned that cab drivers and COM
pany executives would participate
in a joint conference to discuss
this proposition next week.
This announcement came from
Ralph E. Payne, organizer for the
cab drivers, who said he had in
vited officials from the nine major
cab companies to participate in
the meeting. Three Of the major
companies, he said, were definitely
interested"
Plan Association
According to the proposed plan,
an association of cab companies
would be formed to issue weekly
passes. The charge for these
passes would he $3.50, which
would entitle the passenger to
SO rides within the first zone dur
ing the course of week. There
would be an extra charge OF rs
cents for each additional zone.
The plan would go into affect
around May Is if approved by the
meeting next week.
The effect Of this, Payne said,
would be a gradual betterment Of
working conditions for cab drivers
in the city and the ultimate estab-
lishment of a weekly wage for the
drivers.
Fear Rate War
The plan is being rushed,
Payne said, because the drivers
fear another disastrous rate
war;" .-.
Liability insurance for cabs is
another of the subjects up for
discussion at this meeting, Payne
said. u....
He added:
eve are also going to bring
a stop to drunken and reckless
driving among the cab drivers
Of the city"
The general sentiment among
taxi companies, canvasSed yes
terday, seemed to be favorable.
None Of the companies would
commit themselves definitely,
however.

more would be lost, because they
