THE ARTIST AS CITY-BUILDER, Mr, John M.

He is) Reems to go out of his way to make his productions) ugly.

He ate Broiled Lopster and Drank Cham- Pagne because his ¥hysician told him that it was Bad for his Digestion, He rolled home with the rolls in the morning, because he learned that was the way to burn the Candle at Both Ends. He played the vomies oecause ms carerut Guardian painted out to him that that was the Hurry Road to the Slag Pile, and, in short, the Things that he did to the Rules for Cinching a Long and Useful Life were a-plenty. In the same Community there also dwelt an Uid Man, whose Modest and Unassuming Demeanor made nim a |Gredt Favorite with all who knew him, and whose Ex- emplary Character caused him to pe Held up as a Model for Youth to follow. Now it chanced that one night as the Merry Une zig-zagged through Society that ‘ne met up with the Elderly Party, and, finding him a Congenial » |Spirit, fell into conversation with him. “After all,” said the Willy Boy, addressing the Aged Gazabo, “is there anything else in Life half so mugh Fun as doing the ‘’hings you are ‘old Not to 0?” “TI do not know,” replied the Old Man sadly, “for when Iwas a Child it was the Custom to Obey your Parents, and now that 1 am a Parent it 1s the tasnion to Ubey your Children, so 1 have never had the Fieasure of ‘Tasting the Sweets of Disopedtence.* MOKAL: ‘ibis Fable teaches that Chiliren should be Kind to their Poor Helpless Mathers and Mothers.

Trifling with the highest court of the State in this fashion may be a good joke, but to an unsympathetic judicial mind it might look a good deal like contempt.

Ie there a woman who has not at some time in ‘her Ufo heard sung with heart4 al felt meaning by a mixed congregation Tenis the hymn about wanting to be an and gel and with the angels stand? Yet will she ever want to sing it again? What's the use? It would certainly not be proper for the secular mind to question the finality of Mr. Kaylor's dictum in regard to the non-existence of female angels. But at Jeast it permitted one to debate whether he is right in the state- ment. that to the average mind an angel is = white-robedq female with a wing on either shoulder. Certainly, there 4s a popular prejudice in favor of tha female angel. Satisfied as the average man is with his own sex, it does not strike him ds possessing the latent qualiq ties of heart and mind necessary to an angello make-up, And he is content to regard women as more nearly api proaching the angelic standard, or perhaps more frequentiw some woman. * i In order to convince a man that she not only will be but actually Is an angel, however, a woman does not need thé white robe, the sprouting wings or any of the other celestial props mentioned by the Long Island clergyman. She can and does play the role without scenery; one may say, thered fore, “in the EHzabethan manner.” as Miss Wynne-Matthes son does her charming rendering of Viola in’ ‘Twelfth, Night.” g Many a comfortable little woman in a print dress and with hair in very unangelic disorder has realized a man‘e {deal of what an angel should be far better than any, painted seraph that disports its flowing draperies and palms sheaf in an art gallery. He has thought of her as an angel! jn rare‘'moments of expansion he has perhaps mentioned the hallucination to her—and now a heartless clergyman comes along and declares that she not only {s no’ buch thing, bu that she never will be. : Literature, however, 1s on the side of the lovers—Mteraa ture usually {s—and with the exception of John Milton, wha was an unsympathetio old person and couldn't get even hiq third wife to stay with him, the poets are practically unanty mous in placing angels in the female gender. ‘Witness: the much-quoted apostrophs of Walter Bco' | “Who wae that letter from, Mr. Nage? you come out like'a man and say what “Olu 5 ranged to beat the Court of Appeals In the matter of} wny did you tear It up and throw ares CHARA aot aa Mena ng Dnopetin, soy and hard to. pleas forcing marricd teachers out of the department.

He wrote: “Oh, swoman, lovely woman! Nature made thee ‘To temper man: had been brutes without you, ‘Angels are painted fair to look like you! ‘There's in you all that we beleve of heaven.” A thousand other poems’ might be quoted, all favort the female angel idea, But then, after all, poets are ni clergymen, so how do they know A Celestial Trousseau.
