Jloibein studios the other
occupants ithered in the
front windows and jeered
upein \. itaseom, whose bearing was
siiigular’y acute, caught the comments
as far up as the third floor.
The only trouble with Bascout's ef
fects was that they were new--dis
tressingly new. l'rom the oilcloth for
the tiny kitchen, to the l’ersiau rugs
and Turkish hangings, they all came
from first-hand stores. The llolbein
ites were unaccustomed to such extrav
agances. They had bought second
hand th mgs when they had first set up,
and tbe-.->y had acquired merit in the
• yes of ihose already established. It
was mibohemian. as Tolliver expressed
it. to have glaring new furniture and
things in one's studio, It argued the
posses m of unseemly qualities of
money nj small artistic merit, l-'rom

wagon iiacked up to the door Bascom

name, nt it spread rapidly, and no
French communist ever bated the name
more then the llolbeinitos.
As soon as the place liad been seeded

As a result of Tolliver’s activity it had

Bascom had been invited to the even- I

from St. Matthew xxii:21. "Render there- i

Caesar’s: and unto God the things winch j
are God’s.” Dr. Kinsolving said:
Were ever words more palpably just and j
