riously as he professed to hold it
"No man with any reverence for
women could possibly compare them
to cats," contended Dr. Mary Green
Korsted, prominent in the Women's
Century club.
"Tanaka's unjustified fancy sug
gests derision," added Mrs. Frank
Houghton, another well known club
woman. The Japanese painter, however,
vigorously refutes such imputation.
"The fact that alluring women
seem to me to have cattish qualities,"
he explained, "does not detract from
my reverence for them. I do not
mean to say they are scratchy 'spit
fires.' I am, on the contrary, paying
them a high tribute by comparing
them to cats."
F. Tadama, under whom Tanaka
studied, refused to take the "Blue
Cat" controversy seriously.
"Tanaka," he laughed, "likes a
sensation. Why, he once painted
what he was pleased to call 'The
Smell of a Norwegian Cheese!' He
called this picture 'The Blue Cat' be
cause he knew it would make the
women kick!"

ARE NIPPED IN THE BUD

novel one. The boys drove into Har

ing his name as Stuckel walked in
with drawn revolver and held up the
cashier. Meanwhile August Wald
schmidt, an assistant, ran out the
back door, down to the City Hall and
called Policeman George Swanson.
Swanson hurried ba.ck, captured i
Stuckel, chased his two companions
do,wn the street, caught one, lost the
other when he hopped on an auto
truck and took possession of the 'ma
chine which the alleged robbers
used.
