The Artist and the Chaperon.
Harry Furnias, the artist, tells an amusing sTory at his own expense, says Fourth Estate. Furniss had been ccmmiesioned t« illustrate a tale for a “serioas" periodical. His drawing repreamted a lovet-" meeting, and the younw man of the picture was of the Family Herald aad Something to Read type, with long, thin legs, eyes like saucers and a Httle “duck” of a moustache. This would not do at all for the editor of the serious periodical, who wrote to Mr Furniss in these terms: Dear Bir: Will you kindly give Charles a beard and show an aunt, uncle or other chaperon in the distance? The subject and treatment are at present hardly suitable to our young readers. ♦ + *
