GREAT MOTHERS
Anna Mathilda McNeill Whistler
F'TYHE mother of James McNeill
Whistler has been variously de-
-L scribed as “one of the saints on
earth” and as a strict Puritan. If she
was a Puritan, it came perhaps from
her Scottish inheritance, for she was
descended from the clan of the
MecNeills of Skye, a number of whom,
with their chief Donald, emigrated in
1746 to North Carolina, where her
father—Dr. Charles Donald McNeill
— practiced medicine in Wilmington.
Art as culture and art as career’
seemed, in Mrs. Whistler’s philosophy
of life, vastly different things. When
her son James was small, she had
encouraged him in his childish at-
tempts at drawing for his own amuse-
ment. She also made her children read
the Bible and recite a verse every
morning before breakfast. But when
