that Doris is prettier!
However, Bill will leave Monday,
now that his hat is still in the ring,
for intensive travelling. Was cur
ious as to the greatest distance
in one fell swoop which he will
cover and found out - 300 miles!
As he says, recent events have
made him a ''traveling man" and
we all know - he is a lawyer!
And many hope he goes far

PAST PARTICLES: Continuing
with that ''New York Sun Man" of
1899 - caustic chap that he was
regarding Our Town:
Tin re: living for 75c a weekly
"A stick of sugar cane costs only
three cents. Bananas and oranges
can be hooked from the auc-
tioneers, hominy is cheap, and a
string of fish can be caught from
the wharf. For q shelter there is
little need, save to keep off the
rain, and it needs not a house to
do that. What a country for a
tramp! What a climate for the
poor!"

There have been many things
kicked around, but I do believe
that the portrait, 'Whistler's Mo-
ther," a serene, sweet-faced old
lady in a lace cap has been the
basis for more jokes that it has
merited.
According to the Associated
Press, the picture has a varied
background. 1t hung in the Royal
Academy show in 1872 and was re-
viled as sentimental rot. After all,
Whistler and the British were not
exactly chums.
1t made a trip to the pawn shop
following Whistler's libel suit a.
gainst critic John Ruskin. Trial
costs left him bankrupt and I'M
happy without his picture, so he
finally redeemed it.
