I Mr. Barratt 's picture occupies a full double page in a recent issue of Life. H cleverly portrays an automobile party, stranded on a lonely road, with I nighr approaching, and. as a wavside I post, informs. "Ton miles lo Ogiton.". The weariness and despair depicted ou 1 the faces of the two women in the j : party is most Irue to life, while the I j general atmosphere of the entire sketch j is humorously pathetic. To have won such a prize among so. ma 113- c.ompoli- 1 tors is a great honor for so voting an I artist as Mr. Barratt. and hfs friends 1 arc justly proud of his work. i ' " !
