Whistler as I knew him . inedgeways. The first Press man, a very insignificant-lookingperson, arrived at about half-past ten or eleven.Whistler was standing in the middle of the room sur-rounded by his marvellous exhibition of flesh colourand grey. The little man drifted into the gallery, and, taking Whistler for one of the attendants, asked himif he would kindly show him the way to Mr. Whistlersexhibition of pictures. He evidently imagined him-self to be in the entrance to the gallery. Coming uphastily at that moment, Mr. Dowdeswell drew thelittle man on one side, and explained to him that thiswas the Master with whom he had been talking.Whistler was furious, and screamed. The criticlooked as though he wished the earth might swallowhim. Whistler mercilessly shouted to the attendant, Who is this man? with emphasis on the last word. Mr. , representative of Funny Folks, sir, answered the commissionaire. 0, its Funny Folks, A STUDY IN ROSE AND BROWN From an oil-painting in the possession of Messrs.Laurie and Co.. THE ONE-MAN SHOW 123 — is it? Whistler began; but I fled from the battle-field in dismay, Whistlers eldritch laughter ringingin my ears.

When the criticisms appeared in the papers nextday, Whistler read them with relish, never miss-ing one. It was the attacks that interested him.The praise, as Whistler himself said, was obvious: heknew it all beforehand. The reading of notices in-volved a series of long letters to be written, and a rushon my part to the various newspaper offices. On his Private-view Day, Whistler was in his ele-ment. It was always more like a reception
