'Andy Mellon, on his vacation
trip abroad, ia spending more
time at the National Gallery of
Art in London ihun ho is at the
Bank of Englund.
And over in Paris, ho will dc
voto more hours to admlrutton of
tho works of art In tho Pouvru
than to consideration of tho
hYench budget und tho repara
tions problem.
For wlille ho is by vocation a
capitalist, Mellon Is by avocation
a connoisseur of art. As the
former, naturally, he is an ex
pert on those masterpieces of the
engraver's art turned out down
ut tho bureuu of engraving1, where
Uncle Sam's currency and bonds
are produced.
Ho doesn't permit his love foi
tho higher art to: diminish in the
slightest his admiration for u
handsomely designed banknote,
B'Jt, like tho senior J. 1. Mo.-'
gun, who will bo remembered no
less as an art 'collector and crit
ic than as a financier. Mellon
finds his real .enjoyment in h'
advancing years In lh contempla
tion of masterpieces of painting
and sculpture.
