During a 1923 tour of Europe, she switched Dale's hobby from chasing fire engines (he was an honorary New York City fire chief) to buying paintings. In the next 15 years the Dales spent more than $6,000,000 picking up some 700 paintings (e.g., Renoir's Girl With a Watering Can, Degas' Four Dancers, Picasso's Family of Saltimbanques), housed their collection in a five-story mansion off Fifth Avenue, later lent exhibits to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Chicago's Art Institute and Washington's National Gallery, where some 170 Dale paintings now fill nine rooms, hang in twelve others.
