R.A. Boycotts His Own Works
MR. A. J. MUNNINGS, R.A., the painter of horses, boycotted
an exhibition of his own work at Bury St. Edmunds re- cently because of his anger at the pictures chosen.
He was to have been the guest of honour.
The Mayor of Bury St. Edmunds, Mr. H. J. Jarman (who in a photographer), opened the exhibition. He considers it "n splendid show."
Mr. Munnings describes it as "outrageous.”
"I have never been so Indignant in from Norwich, where Mr. Munnings| my life before," sald_Mr. Munnings, spent his boyhood.

"It costs at least $15 a year to keep a well-bred setter like a 'Pat,'" a relative of Mrs. Hider said.
