Warble was almost in hysterics over the funny antics of Goldwin
Leathersham down whose loose and ample collar she had herself poured a
glass of water on two seidlitz powders.

"Next," she cried, clapping her hands, "we'll have an artistic game. Here
it comes."

Lackeys and minions brought in pails of kalsomine, of various tints, some
of pale pastel shades, others of deep rich hues. One was given to each
guest, and each was provided with a beautiful new whitewash brush.

"Now," Warble explained, her blue eyes dimpling with delight, "you each
make a splash on the wall--a big, hit-or-miss splash. Then we each try to
evolve a lovely picture by few bold strokes."

This was great fun.

Manley Knight, with a mighty splash of color that landed on a Fragonard
panel, had quite a good start for a "Storm at Sea." He worked it up with
fine technique and you would have been surprised at the result.

Iva Payne took a splash from several different pails thereby achieving a
Cubist landscape. It was entitled "High Tide off the Three-mile Limit,"
and was a startling success.

Daisy Snow, timid little dear, made but a tiny daub and worked it up
carefully.

"That," she said, "is a miniature of Big Bill."
