Mrs. Reginald Fellowes, leader of London's cafe set and onetime friend of the Duke of Windsor, liked it and bought it. So last week did Mrs. Charles Crocker of Manhattan; Mrs. D. J.

At the last minute Painter Peirce changed his mind, dropped The Foibles of Fisticuffs from his list. On view this week, however, are new paintings of circuses and county fairs, bright canvases done at Key West, two views of the Harvard Tercentenary celebrations at Cambridge last year, charming paintings of the children.
