...Christmas 1888 at Arles in Southern France a young painter with a hooked nose called at the house of his best friend. Police and neighbors, all shouting excitedly, stood before the yellow door. Up rushed the red-faced chief of police...
...born citizens. Most important of the Altman prizes ($700) went to Sidney E. Dickinson, conservative portraitist and onetime art instructor, for a curious canvas entitled The Pale Rider. Apparently having listened to much talk about surrealism, Artist Dickinson did a picture of a morose young woman in a red dress seated on a falling, pedestal by a table loaded with books.

S. newspaper was published, to the War, Laurence Greene's greatest difficulty was to stick to the red-letter historical events, avoid the temptation to wander down fascinating journalistic bypaths. Last week Laurence Greene's historical newspaper scrapbook, America Goes to Press* was published. Of his collection of such classic U. S. front-page stones as the Battle of Trenton, Lee's Surrender at Appomattox, the Chicago...
