English Artist 'Delis Amusing Story

W. P. Frith, -the celebrated English
artist, tells an amusing story regard-
ing an experience he had when on a
sketching tour in the rural districts.
He was boarding is a cottage owned
by a nice old woman who`ofteh used
to watch him paint. There was a
rush -bottomed chair which 'he used
foe Ills work and t
oiii
w Chhe became
quite attached. It wasn't worth more
than fifty cents ---a lot of Lumley in
those days -and when he was leaving
Frith offered the dear old wuntan eve
shillings for it.
"But she said No,' ,; c'hn •k,r
•'Frith; relating the incident to Julian
Hawthorne, "she couldn't ;hick of
robbing me, but she'd be perfectly
content le I'd take the chair In ex-
change for one of my little 'pletels I"
