Show HAD THE PICTURE'S MEANING Spectators at Least Formed Sme idea What Famous Painting Represented. Rep-resented. Two men stood before a painting in a store the other day gazing wonder-ingly wonder-ingly at a picture of an equestrian statue of General Lafayette. The famous fa-mous Frenchman was represented on a prancing steed. Over his arm he carried a robe. At his feet stood an allegorical figure of Victory extending extend-ing a sword toward him as a mark of homage. "I wonder what that picture pic-ture means?" said one of the men. "I don't know," replied the other. "I was just trying to make out what season sea-son of the year it was when a woman could go around with so little clothing while a man was dressed up in a heavy suit like that." "Oh, I see what it is now," cried the first one. "You see the soldier stole the woman's cloak and when he took it from her he dropped his sword and now the woman is trying to trade hlra back the sword for her clothes." |
