Mr. Markel!, who during the day is cashier at the Graybar Electric company in Chicago, relaxes with his stamp hobby in his odd moments. Especially proud is he of the vendâ€" ingâ€"machine stamps which bear maâ€" chineâ€"made perforations in contrast to the modern uniform markings of United States engravers, the former naturally being older stamps and never sold at postoffices.

Mourning stamps for the Belgian Queen Astrid are unusual too in that their use was* obligatory and the revenue from their sale was partly used for the erection of a memorial to the late queen‘s memory. Because he buys and sells stamps also, Mr. Markell is really an exâ€" pert at collecting. He deals in stamps at Larson‘s Sationery store. From observations of other collecâ€" tors‘ work, he points out that there are numerous ways of collecting, the center blocks of sheets, the line which divides stamp issues into four panes as they come from the mint, coil stamps in pairs, miniature stamps with peculiarities.

Green Bay road, for the Jeu de Paume Museum, the unit of the French Naâ€" tional Museums which is devoted to Contemporary Foreign Art. The painting i sto be hung in the muâ€" seum‘s permanent colection, acâ€" cording to M. Andre‘ Dezarrois, the curator. This large canvas is one of the few acquired from an Amerâ€" ican artist by the French Governâ€" ment in recent years, and is an event in the rise of recognition abroad of American art. Mr. Florsheim feels very strongâ€" ly that art "cannot be taught, but must be learned by the individual." He says that the technique of paintâ€" ing is so unalterably a part of its expressiveness that to have a techâ€" nique imposed from without is to falsify the values of art. "The muâ€" seums are the true schools," he says, "for there, without the diluâ€" tion of a ‘teacher‘s interpretation‘ is the real message of the great of art; they are the living teachers, not the weak interpreters who quote without imagination." _ He feels that art is a complete way of life, and that the artist must maintain his dignity in the community and world in which he lives. In defying those who yearn for the contemporâ€" ary to paint as though he were livâ€" ing 300 years ago, he hopes to make them see that we are "the descenâ€" dants of the Old Masters, not their contemporaries." Mr. Florsheim was born in Chiâ€" cago, and has been painting for six years. He has studied independentâ€" ly both in America and abroad; has refused ‘to submit himself to formal academic training. "Don Quixote‘ was painted in September of 1938, the artist then being 21 years of age, thereby one of the youngest foreign artists to be so honored by France in the entire history of such purchases.
