BRING YOUR FAVORITE STEIN!
Let's taunt Picasso's ghost!
The ONE WOMAN he couldn't bully!

      History is this.
      Human nature is the same that is not history.
      A dog is dissatisfied and restless that is not a history.
      He is unpleasant in all his little ways and we do not care about him
although we forgive him that also is not history.
      The son of Mrs. Roux has failed in his examinations that is to say
he has been discouraged from attempting them that is not history.
      What is history they make history.
      In times of attention they are not certain that they will obtain what
they wish this might be history but it is not history.
      Intention is not history nor finality finality is not history. Think what
is history.
      Mildred made and knew history.
      Pierre does not make but fears history.
      Bernard leaves and leans on history.
      Once upon a time a couple had a dog who aroused universal ad-
miration.
      They were by nature interested in antithesis. They followed when
they came they were much in use and equally they were amused.
