Show There is a young artist in Washington who f fl classes himself as of the impressionistic school, fl and who, being somewhat out in drawing, genor- j; ' H ally makes up for his lack of technique by spread- H ing color recklessly and counting on distance for s l H his effect. At an amateur exhibition he once hung i H one of his most extraordinary performance. 1 H "Well," said a friend, whom the artist had taken ti f fl to see the work, "I don't want to flatter you, ola , fl chap, but that is far and away tho best stuff you i" j fl have evor done. I congratulate you.' Much pleased, the artist was receiving the compliment ! v , H with becoming modesty, when ho chanced again J to glance at the pictura- and turned very red. ' fl The committee had hung it upside down! Hurry- i H ing to the head of the committee, he was about t. to launch into a loud complaint, when he was in- C4 ill formed of the good news that an hour before the 0 iB picture had been sold for $61. The original price- f mark had been $19. f ffl iH |
