exquisite, bouffant gown shimmers In

the decollete bodice is filmy, with
thread and pattern in wonderful de-

type. with few of the lighter graces
which were portrayed by Van Dykes

man, had painted many OF the Puri-

seemed more to the liking of his Dutch
temperament. But he was great IA

Stuart, That Prolific
English Painter.
There were two Stuart portraits that
were particularly pleasing: One Of
DR.. William Shipper, and on the op-
posite wall one Of his brother. Thomas
Lee Shipper, by the same artist. These
are owned by DR.. L. P. Shipper of
Georgetown. A portrait Of a man by
Beechley was most engaging with its
healthy coloring, which might have
been put on that very day, so fresh
and healthy 1t seemed. It is said that
Beechley always gave his sitter gen.

ming to paint. He was great favorite
at the court of George III and lived
for many years at Windsor, where he
instructed the young princesses. The
Prince Of Wales was fond of him and
he was knighted for his portraits OF

OF York. All most f1attering can

The Grandfather Of All Chairs
Found in the Gallery.
In that simply fascinating room,
largely filled with ghosts OF the past,
Is an enormous chair which Mr.. Toll
man calls the grandfather of all chairs
and which is so big that two kings
the size Of Henry VIII could sit side
by side and not be crowded. In fact
this chair which Is known as the
Wallace chair" because of its as
sociation with Sir William Wallace,
may have once been sat in by Wallace
and Bruce, and is the property OF Sir
Charles Ross, now resident of Wash
ington. 1t is owned by the Bruce
Corp, Ltd, of Kildary. Scotland, and
Wilmington, Del, and is in the gallery
for safe keeping. The tradition is
that it came from the Tower Of
Lamington. There are only bits Of
the leather or hide which formerly
covered the chair, and in places the
wood has crumbled away. So valuable.
however, is the dust which comes
from the disintegrating wood that 1t
is carefully personal---very. grain Of

Mr. Tolman did not offer to hand
the chair to the visitor to be seated

Portrait Of Chief Justice Hughes
By His Fraternity Brother.
In that most interesting room,
where the great and distinguished Of
several centuries are waiting to go up

portrait of Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes, which was painted by
his fraternity brother, George Bur-
roughs Torrey for the Smithsonian
Institution, of which the Chief Justice
is chancellor by virtue of his Office
as Chief Justice. This portrait, which
has been exhibited. is now waiting
for permanent hanging The Justice
is painted seated and in his gown
with uncovered head, and seems to be
in particularly happy mood. There
is merriment in his eyes and he looks
as If he were about to lean forward

but an atmosphere of animation and

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

Can you tell the age of a horse
by looking at its teeth? Almost any
outdoor man can, but his answer
usually depends largely upon the
visibility of the CRITTERS" ribs and
the look IN its eyes. Anyway, what
we started out to say is that among
several hundred bulletins issued by
the Government there is one deal
ing with the subject of telling an
animals age by it's teeth.
The eradication Of pocket gophers'
is handled in one of Uncle Sans
publications, and so is the problem
of what to do about termites, those
little ant-like pests that like fence
posts and floor joists on their daily
menu. There is a pamphlet telling
of the use of adobe bricks for the
construction of farm buildings.
There is one about the care OF food
in the several home, several filled
with recipes for home cooking, ana
one on making house clean ng
easier. Another serves as a guide
for buying sheets, hlankets and
bath towels.
For those interested in cattle,
(beef or dairy there is wide
range of information available.
There are pamphlets on alfalfa, and
even the lowly Johnson grass
comes in for it's bit of discussion,
both as weed and hay.
In Congressman Murdock's office
we learned that anyone out home
may have list of these publica-
tions for the asking. Because of
iimited supply, however the Con
gressman can send only ten OF the
various bulletins to each person,
but these will be free of charge to
any American regardless of how he
voted or intends to vote.
