display.
With this thought In mind. Miss Tabor
undertook a short course In tho School
of Applied Design In New York city, and
there learned tho commercial application
of tho principles which she had already
flicked up during her artist's training
This was followed by work In the olllce
of nn architect and, finally, by a year
in tho Arnold Arborvitum the New
Kngland chooI for those who wish to
learn tho finer points connected with the
(ffective display of living plants and
inwers 'men, returning to .- w York.
Miss Tubor opened a modest olllce and
pet out to capitalize her studies. Her
first reward was a commission which
called for more than two weeks' work
Getting Back at Bacchus
TN TIIIj center of a little garden out West stands n huge bronze statue of
- Bncchus.
It Is n very peculiar statue.
Botli the arms arc outstretched, and the fingers of each hand clutch ono end
of a wnshllne.
The lines extend In opposite directions, nnd (hey nro prnctlcally always
loaded down with wash.
Sometimes, apparently, the lines do not suffices for some of the wash is
placed on the statue itself simply spread over Bncchus's face nnd body, wound
nbout his legs and head stuck wherever space can be found.
Instinctively you feel the stntuc hides a silent, eloquent tragedy.
For weeks I had tiled to get the story, but nobody In the neighborhood
knew it.
The owner of the bronze, n quiet little widow, with many children, would
sny: "I'd rnther not talk about it." Somehow you could not press the matter.
One day, Just us I had about given up all hope, she told me.
"I'm getting buck nt Bacchus," she said to me. "I'm squaring nccounts
with him in the only way I run.
"We Ubod to own n beautiful home in n large city. My husband wns u
wonderful sweetheart nnd daddy. He wns in love with his business, with music,
with nrt; he ndored his family.
"Then the devil's poison not into his blood. He drank little at first, then
more. I pleaded with him not to. lie used to say it was nothing, that he
could stop any time lie wanted to. I begged him day nnd night trjing to teur
him from It. Finnlly he said he would show me nnd stop.
"But it was too Inte. It had gotten too much of n hold on him. Ono night
when he wnsn't quite himself lie slipped nnd fell und moitully hurt himself.
The house hud been mortgaged, but 1 sold what little things we hnd thnt would
bring somo mono nnd mine out here. I kept only that bronze statue.
"I onco heard somehodj sny it was a shame to spoil such a benutlful work
of art with wash. To me that stutuc is ugly, the ugliest thing on (lod's earth
I'm getting back at Bacchus,"
