Unlike the snobbish New England T.&T.; Co., Bell of Illinois has assumed a more enlightened attitude ... It graciously accepts our pennies, and then charges the house 4¢ for every one found.

Bellyaches & Doodles?

Sir:

I was delighted to read of the refusal of 28 abstract painters to submit their work to the jury of the December Metropolitan Museum exhibition [TIME, June 5].

May we hope that other snob artists may follow suit, thus removing from public view these annoying enlargements of a slight case of bellyache which the artist too often mistakes for an important esthetic experience.
