THE PSYCHOCHROMES OF LEON KENNEDY.

Wat Williams tells us that he is to have an exhibition for the coming month of the psychochromes of Leon Kennedy [Leon Engers Kennedy]. Rallying the remnants of our education, which did not include Greek, we should infer that the gentleman indicates with color what he thinks of your soul. We do not hazard a guess as to the meaning of an excessively blue portrait of Alestair [sic] Crowley, but we remember that dark red indicates a lust for murder, and would hesitate to have ourselves committed to canvas. When one stands in front of the portrait of la belle Madame X in the Metropolitan, one understands that she may have suspected Mr. Sargent of treating her a bit roughly, but with Mr. Kennedy, if only you have the color key, “it makes no doubts,” as a charming French friend’s English has it. You know just what he thinks of you.
