A DIRTY TRICK.
BY AN ARTIST. LONDON, February 24. An amusing artistic imbroglio has arisen out of Sisley llmhileston, author, permitting C. R. AV. Nevison to paint a picture of his silting room at Paris. Nevison presented the picture to the Tate Gallery.
Tiater, unknown to Huddleston, he withdrew the canvas and - painted a similar one, to which he added a nude woman reclining on a couch, which IT. G. Wells bought and presented to the Tate Gallery.
Huddleston, visiting the Gallery, saw the picture, and was horrified. He wrote to Nevison: ‘‘Tt is gratifying to think that my room;; have a permanent place in a London museum, but what about the nude woman on the couch. You will agree there was none there. These days are too full of scandal mongering, and allegations lightly made are accepted tragically, there-
fore 1 must vigorously repudiate the' full-sized female model. These things may be permitted to artists, hut not
a respectable writing man’s studio.”
