THE IDEAL “NEW YORK GIRL,” AS LOCAL ARTISTS SEE HER MORGAN AND HIS MUSEUM. SEP J. Pierpont Morgan is going to give an art museum to the city,” remarked The Cigar-Store Man. “Well,” sald The Man Higher Up, “he won't be the first come-on that ever passed a gold brick over to the city after he found out that it wouldn't stand the acid test. Thore is about a cord of gold bricks up at Police Headquarters that have been handed over to the police by the wise Guys that bought them. “I fall to these stories that come from Paris and London to the effect that J. Pierpont has been stung on some of the paintings worked off on him ‘by the dealers. It don’t possibly dope out that one man can know every- ghing. “They can't fool you on tobacco or cigar boxes end you wouldn’t buy @ny counterfeit revenue tax stamps or cigarettes stuffed with hay. If you go to buy a hat they won't try to sell you a dip of the style of Oscar Ham- feeistein’s, and in buying a suit of ‘@tand to get e run for your money. clothes or other wearing apparel you Maybe you could get the best of a horse trade, but if a man came in here and showed you a landscape, with the etall tiat it was painted by an old master, you wouldn't be able to tell whether UM Was the goods or was turned out by a chromo factory in East Houston @treet. Tho chances are that if he wanted a large amount of real money for it you would tell him to take his pioture and etick it on @ billboard, “Every rich man has a fad. Some run to horses, some to yachts, eome to @utomobiles, some to soubrettes, and some to art. For Mr. Morgan the are thing. He was raised in Connecticut and a bank and could spot a phoney $10,000 stock certificate with his eyes fn a Turkish towel. shut and his hands securely wrapped But he'd have to show me before he could prove that Be knows whether a picture was painted by Michael Angelo in Rome a few hundred years ago or by George Washington Perkins in an attic in the Latin Quarter of Paris in 1899. “Personally I know thet J, Pierpont has been the softest mark for a gang @f youths who live by their wits in this town that ever happened. They have ¢umped wofks of art on him that would be refused by Bartholomew O'Connor, the eminent connoisseur who selected the paintings that adorned the walls of McGurk's dance hall on the Bowery. “At the time of the last yacht race one of these wise youths butter into J. ‘Pierpont’s private office with what he said was a painting of the Columbia. He.had turned it out in three hours in his studio in the Aulic Hotel and he ‘wanted $200 for it. The great financier looked. t over and sald he wouldn't take it because {t wasn't a good Nkeness of the yacht. . “This wise youth immediately began to spout a line of hot air that ‘would heighten the temperature in Arizona, and finally the great financier @uys that if his naval architect will say that the painting is a good likeness gt the Columbia he will stand for the $200. Now, the wise guy knew that the painting didn’t look any more like the Columbia than it did like a Staten wind ferry-boat, Lut he needed the money, “He goes and gets a big photograph of the Columbia. He takes this to ‘architect and gots a certificate that it ss a good Hkeness of the Columbia. fhe .goes and doctors the photograph by some process that I don't denow anything abo, rushes it around to the corner of Wall and Broad and fiends the remuneration.” Mr. Morgan can stand it,” eald The Cigar-Store Man. “Sure, Mike,” replied the Man Higher Up, “but I’d hate to be tn fis {m- Mediate vicinity if he ever gets wise that he's been entered in-the Art Budker’ class.” WHERE WOMEN AND GIRLS DO THE WORK OF MEN. ———+ +> —____.
