The jewelry had been lost by |Mrs. Abraham Scheer, wife of a Fifth Avenue glove firm executive. An insurance company represen- tative set the value at $19,000. So Morris got a 10 per cent re- ward and Mrs. Scheer, in turning ever a check to the cabbie, said: “I am thrilled. It’s a pleasure to know there are honest people in the world.” Exclaimed Morris: “What I can do with that! I cer- tainly am grateful. I guess honesty is the best policy after all.

Pie portions: youu can count on cutting five or six pieces from an eight-inch pie; seven or eight pieces from a nine-inch pie, are the paintings of Clipper ships by Roland Barker. Mr. Barker has returned to Key West, and to the Key West Artists Group, after an extended visit to the North. He is a man well-qualified to paint the Clippers, since he went to sea on them at the age of 14 years. His youth and young map were spent on these square-rigged iron and steel sailing vessels, and his last trip was made in 1928 on the “‘Tusitala,” the last Clipper to run commercially under the U. Ss. Flag. It ran from N. Y. C.. via the Panama Canal to Honolulu car- rying sulphate of ammonia to the islands, and returning with sugar. ‘The round trip took eight months. The “Tusitala,” which means “Teller of Tales’ and was the name given to Robert Louis Stevenson by the King of the Samoan Islands, as retired in 1932. ate direct contrast to the photo-| graphie technique of the Clipper ships, are the ever ~ popular pri- mitive paintings of Effie Fernan- dez. This artist, who started re- cording the scenes of-her Georgian childhood, has advanced to the lo- cal scene with no lessening of the charm of her work. Of special merit in this showing are her paintings of a “Cigar Fac- tory,” done in grays and blues with a startling touch of green for emphasis, and her “House on the Corner” with its flambuoyant or- ange Poinciana tree. pe a favorite be Lephe Bal, den, painting the local scenes. w! a oaah of humor and a definite: feeling for the hot sun and deep shadows of. Key West. To emphasize “her love of the town, she plays no. favorites in her choice of scenes. Of equal impor- tance to her are the crowded and picturesque sections of colored- town, the water front districts, and the many churches and buildings of interest to be found here. And, of course, no show by the Key West Artists can be complete without the paintings | of Larry ‘Karns. His latest painting — com- pleted in time for this show, is a most most timely pice called “‘Hur- ricane Warning.” The somber colors and sense of frantic movement, combined with the austere furnishings of old Cu- ban chairs’ and lantern light have an erie quality of impending ca- tastrophe. Notable of this show is the fact that it is strictly oil paintings.
