cows, and no more"
i, This quote from gentle
man-farmer, Paul Mellon,
: whose Rokeby Farm near
: Upperville is grazed by many
more than three pure-bred
Herefords, referred to his
taste in pictures, not farm

lectors' Circle Of The Vir-
ginia Museum of Fine Arts
over the weekend.
The Circle, which honored
the MELONS as fellow mem
bers at an elaborate dinner
in the museums Medieval
Hall Saturday night, had no
time to count cows and
windmills in the hundreds OF

Had he made 1t, publicly,
while the 255 guests were
gathered around the Medi-
terranean Court at a pre-
dinner reception, protection
lists in the sophisticated
group would have delayed
dinner far beyond the nine
O'Clock hour, looking for cows
and windmills.
However, collectors and
their guests had time, after
being received by the Presi-
dent of the Collectors Circle
and Mrs. Joseph Bryan, the
Paul MELONS, British Ambas-
sador and Lady Ormsby Gore,
Governor of Virginia and
Mrs. Albertis Harrison, and
President of the Museum and
Mrs. Walter Robertson. to
wander thru the galleries off
the pool-court before dinner,
marveling at the new lighting
and decor, and at the English
landscapes.
They also marveled at the
delicate balance Of the pianist
who played a baby grand
which stood on a raised slab
in the middle Of the reflect
ing pool.
His score lighted by a hugh
silver candelabrum, was sur
rounded by floating water
lilies.
The first course served in
the candle-lit, tapestry hung,

The honored table, in the
middle of the tremendous
hall, was appointed with five
branched candelabrum and a
tree Of pink orchids.
Lesser long tables on each
side had a two-branched
candelabrum and painted
daisies, while smaller tables
thruout the hall, seating six
and eight, had two candles
in glass holders, surrounded
by the daisies.

In recalling his history of
collecting, from the time he
was first impressed with the
freshness of English land

noticed them hanging in his
fathers home in Pittsburgh

his Cambridge days when he
bought racing and sporting
prints. while hunting and
racing in England, until he
moved to Upperville where he
has turned the gracious"
Brick House into a private
museum, he highlighted
special moments.
One Of the rarest was when
a Foxcroft School student
was, brought home by his
daughter, Liza. The girl no
ticed a magnificent Van Gogh
hanging in Little Oak Spring
and asked, who paints
around here?"
Liza answered Nobody.

Liza was there on Saturday
night. and so was Timmy

Paul brought his wife In
constantly during his re-
sponse. He said that "She
was a brilliant artist in her
own right IN fields of garden
ing and architecture"
Basil Taylor, the English
art historian who has been
Paul Melons silent partner
in the four-year rapid-fire
English collecting, was to
speak ending the evenings
program In the Theater.
Verbal NOsegay
He was Ill, however, so the
stage was again turned over
to Joe Bryan who graciously
handed Mrs. Mellon a verbal
nosegay, quoting please
come into my garden, I want
my roses to look at you"
The MELONS, themselves,
handed out quite a nice little
gift to the Collectors and
their guests, a catalogue of
the exhibition, printed in two
volumes, and tied with white
satin.
Later guests wandered to

toast to the President of the
United States.
This was followed by a
toast to her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth by the Governor
of Virginia, who was fol-
lowed by President Of the
Muse eum Robertson, who
toasted the Governor.
The neatest salute Of the
evening, even before the
toasts, was the salute Hi,
Cousin!" often cut through
by an English accent, tossed
from one table to another
of the predominantly Rich
mond collectors.
Author-collector Joe Bryan
III presided in the theater
after dinner, first pointing
out that the theater. with
it's flanking boxes, broad
forestage and simulated
candles, was all ready for
the opening of THE School
for Scandal" Wednesday, an
18th century compliment to
the Melons collection.
He also unused that the
Mellon collection was, to
other private collections, "As

many Russians in Canada.
The Soviet officials re-

coming to Canada about the

The Russians showed a

bewilderment as If they

Mckenzie River Valley is.

Along with talks with Mos
