James Parton says there is no work
in the world which expends vitality so
fast as writing for the public. 1t is a
work which is never done. Il accom-
panies a man upon his walks, goes with
him to the theatre, gets into bed with
him, and possesses him in his dreams.
If he stOops to kiss the baby, before he

The people of Baltimore are working
up Madi Gras festival for next fall
The success of her seoul centennial has
fired Baltimore's ambition, and she
seems determined TO enter into rivalry
with New Orleans for festival fame. The
project is not yet fully developed, but it
contemplates a celebration, accompanied
by magnificent pageant, some time in
October, preceding the Yorktown cen
tennial. The idea is that an attractive
programme for that time will catch the
crowds of visitors en- route to Yorktown.
If Baltimore makes up her mind to
compete for Mardi Gras honors New
Orleans will have to look to her laurels.
