" 'There,' he said, as he pointed to a bust of white marble, 'what do you think oi; that?' "It was a bust of a young woman coiling her hair, a very graceful example of modern Italian sculpture. "Mr. Clemens looked at It a moment, and then he said: " 'It isn't true to nature.' " 'Why not?' Mr. Rogers asked. " 'She ought to have her mouth full of hairpins,' said the humorist." |
