One headline I remember was like this: "Founder of American Revertist School Sued for Half Million." I expect I kidded Mr. Robert more or less about his artist friend. He don't know quite how to take it, Mr. Robert. In one way he feels kind of responsible for Hallam, but of course he ain't worried much about the damage suit.
They're to be used with an article I'm contributing to a Sunday paper. It is to be entitled, 'What is a Revertist? They are paying me $100 for it. Not bad, eh!" "Pretty soft, I'll say," says I. "Soak 'em while the soakin's good." "Still getting on well with your job?" asked Mr. Robert. "Oh, I've chucked that," says Hallam airy. "No more of that degrading grind for me. I've arrived, you know."
"I was once," says he. "Now I'm just Sand-Lot Riggs. Who are you?" "Oh, pardon me," puts in Mr. Robert. "I thought you would know. This is Mr. Hallam Bean, the celebrated founder of the Revertist school of art." "Oh, yes!" said Riggs. "The one who painted the corset picture ad." "Soap picture," I corrects hasty, "featurin' the Countess Zecchi." "That's so, it was soap," admits Riggs.
"Eh?" gasps Mr. Robert. "Where?" "Why," says F. Hallam, "don't you understand what has happened during these last two weeks? Fame has found me out. I am known as the founder of a new school of art the original Revertist. My name has become a household word. And before this absurd libel suit is finished I shall be painting the portraits of all the leading society people.
