FREAK STATUARY TO ORDER. Sculptor Tells of Queer Ordora Given Him by Hla Patrons. V. A sculptor was talking about freak statuary. "I turn out a lot of It," he said. Not that I like to. I have to. 8o many ot our millionaires have uncouth tastes. I made last fall portrait busts ot a western millionaire and his wife. The wife wears spectacles, and nothing would do but I must put specin tacles on her busL I argued, vain. That bust stands in the millionand specaires spacious library tacle rest on its nose. I did last month a bust in colors, a bust of a young girl. The marble hair I gilded, the marble eyes I painted blue, and tit marble lips and cheeks I flecked with red. A hideous thing, yet the family was immensely pleased. The freakiest of my freak statues stands in a Boston garden. It la the statue of the owners grandfather, an old Presbyterian divine. The aged man stands in the center of a bed of jonquils, and out of the top of hla plug hat a jet of water spurta, falling Into a marble basin that he holds in hla hands, a basin wherein swim half a dosen goldfish.
