R.A. Boycotts His Own Works

MR. A. J. MUNNINGS, RA., 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. IL J. Jarman (who

is a photographer), opened the exhibition. He considers it "a splendid show."

Mr. Munnings describes it as "outrageous.”

"I have never been so indignant it from Norwich, where Mr. Mannings my life before," said Mr. Munnings, spent his boyhood. who lives near 1pswich. "I did not

ALLOWANCE FOR A WELL-BRED DOG

MR. Frederick John Hider,

formerly

of Bexhill, Sussex, whose will was pub- lished recently, left £15 a year to his red setter "Pat" and £6 to his pekinese "Cheeky."

The pekinese died a week before its master, but Pat is now being cared for by Mrs. Hider.

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

"A pekinese would natural- ly cost a lot less--it's so much smaller."
