...think of these reformer people as queer long-haired strangers who care neither for the best or the nice things in life. But the Boston dinner party of the other evening proved that they too can become gorged with hilarity and paint the town as red as the rest of their less significant brethren...

But despite this material satisfaction, the world of Art remained troublous for Mr. Fisher. What about the rest of the score of paintings which he had employed Galleryman Young to buy for him? How could one ever be sure of the genuine? Even expert Sir Joseph Duveen, in a similar case, had proved nothing (TIME, Feb. 18, et seq.). Row upon row of glistening Cadillacs, or Mr. Fisher's new and magnificent Fokker...
