...coated paper on which it is printed. Some of its time-tried favorites: The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, The Birth of Venus, The Laughing Cavalier, Shoeing the Baby Mare, The Angelus, Mrs. Siddons, The Music Lesson, The Blue Boy, Whistler's Mother.

It was scribbled rather carefully in pencil--on the dining room table just after the supper dishes had been cleared away. About this time of year, it was, too. Annually, it must have caused Mr. Farley's postal...
