Ingenious Laundry Advertisements

Insenious Laundry Advertisement.
While this is not exactly the cas-
tie-ln-the-air age, yet there are thou
sands OF persons who spend very small
portion OF their time on terra firma.
This is due to the "sky-scrapers," where
the upper floors are honeycombed with
offices Enterprisfng merchants have
taken advantage of the fact, and are
trying everything in their power to at
tract the attention of this elevated
army, whose fleeting glimpse of the
world is obtained from lofty windows.
The latest scheme is one projected by
laundry, which employs dozens of COW
cred wagons. On the top of the wagon
cover is painted in glazing letters the
name of the firm, and those who look
down from above can read as the We
hlcles pass by.

for a delight that is not theirs. And
this poor little girl seems destined to
her share for one Of the most notable
and lasting infatuatiOns i'm the annals
of the stage.
1t was only three years ago that
Marion ManOla. from the prolonged use
Of narcotic drugs and financial en-
barrassment, went temporarily insane.
Her creditors had her arrested and
took her costumes for debt. She got
up out of sick bed to go to the court
room. She was acquitted, but her cot
tage at Winthrop was taken to satisfy
the claim. The strain and worry of
the court room were too much for
the little woman who had helped the
world smile for so long. Her malady
developed where her talent had-On
the stage. Her illness first manifested
itself by her forgetting her lines and
looking hOpelessly at Mason for her
cue. In little while she forgot the
'MikadO" altogether. She gave up
her home and money, but she never
gave up Jack Mason; she forgot the
parts she had been singing for twelve
years, but she never forgot him. 1t was
very pitiful to hear her plead in her
illness, "Don't let them take the dress
/ wore my first night, Jackr IN time
she rallied again-for him. The
strength Of that infatuation held even
then. Since then disaster has followed
disaster, always finding them together
and caring only for that. Even her
daughter reverences the sincerity OF
it. Alone, Marion Manola might have
had a brilliant career. Jack Mason
spoke truly enough three years ago
when a friend from England remarked
that he had had no luck since he met
and he replied: Don't say
that, it's she, poor girl: who has never
had lucky day since she met me-
She had given up everything under
heaven for him-and now she has given
up her child.

,lusive people. His mother shudders

Although for the benefit Of the Y. VIC.

lege people, and the scarlet and cream
decorations were used. The students
formed most enthusiastic audience and
app!auded every number, and even gave
recall after an encore. That the affair
was more OF a social than Of a musical
nature was shown from the merry talk
over the house, which formed an sccon
paniment to the dashing airs and abated
only for overwhelming applause. All the
songs dear to the students heart were
given and were received with audible
expressions Of delight.

ply could not stop her. She vas fever
ish and her eyes were red with crying.
She had only been out Of the con-
vent a year. There she took vocal
lessons from sister Agatha and sang
in the choir. She spoke wistfully of
it, that safe-sheltered existence with
its routine and calm mOnOtOny, among
those quiet, serene sisters, so far from
the tempestuOus emotions that blast
and kill, and that unrest which men
miscall delight" And from that she
was transplanted at sixteen to the
comic opera stage under the tender
care Of Marion ManOla and Jack Ma
son! Truly the Lord can make de-
lightful stories when he chooses, and
as Heine says, "HOw immeasurably he
exceeds us i'm his humOr and colossal
wit"
'YOu see," said the child, IL had
only known my mother in my vacation
before. She is different when she is
playing and with Mr.. Mason. didn't
know what it would be like when l
went with them"
Mason, it seems, had always born a
grudge against the child because Of
her mothers affection for her, and had
hated her because she recalled a part
of Manola's past in which he had no
share. What love the child got from
her mother she got by stealth. and
imagine it was not very much she ever
got. When they went South business
was bad, Mason grew more dissipated
than ever and his temper did not i'm
prove. Finally, the night before the
disbanded, Mason quarrelled
so violently with his wife about the
girl that she fell i'll and Adelaide had
to sing her part. The girl was really
as i'll as her mother and tainted i'm the
last act of the piece. That night the
child made her decision. She had
