Lazy-Ho oe

There !. land called Lazy-ho,
Where girls and boys are Tree, you know;
With never a cross old aunty there,
To scold or comb out tousfed halr,
There, all the clothes are soilled and rent,
And no boy is on errand sent
When he is busy having fun;
But every lass and 1addie may
Play tag or shoot a really gun,
And have molasses every day,
In this far-distant Lazy-ho
There's no such thing as stubbed toe
But bonbons grow on apple trees,
And sugar plums are thick as beesi
The water is as sweet as milk,
And every doll is dressed in silk.
There is no school In Lazy-ho,
Nor any chores that must be done
No sums to do, no corn to hoe,
But toys galore for every one

In the advertising world we are con
stantly hearing the word 'originality'
banded about as though it were q
vocabulary in itself, or as though there
existed only one species of the article,
observes Profitable Advertising The
utter lack of originality on the part
of this or that advertisement writer
or designer is the one string on which
those who can strike no chord are
twanging. Every man seems to have
appointed himself critic of all other
men, and the right of the individual to
be original in his own way, or accord
ing to his own IDEAS of originality. is
practically denied. But however
loudly the uniformed may sernaonize.
the addle-pated babble, or the incompe-
tent prate on the subject of originality
in advertising, it must be remembered
that they are not the real judges. The
only court that is empowered to rem
der verdict is the Public, and in the
presence Of this supreme judiciary it
would be more becoming for the cheap
theorists to keep silent.

r r was in little cafe in Drya0es
street that Paul Morcet saw her
first, demure, beautiful child
Z just blossoming into womanhood.
Being painter of fine fancy, Paul had
a hard time keeping his eyes off her
fower-like face. but being serious
minded, reverent young fellow and
having a sister of his own, he reined
his worshiping glances and contented
himself with making furtive sketches
Of her on the tissue napkins of the
little French cafe. Besides, there was
a little mirror in the angle of the wall,
and out of it he stole many a lirger-
ing impression of the lovely crea ture
who awed and fascinated him.
Her hair was like hanks Of spun cop
per, her skin like the texture of lily.
her eyes two smolderins brown lights.
So Paul began to paint her for himself.
wondering if chance would ever throw
her and him together. You see he was
a very diffident fellow, not at all like
most modern young men of twenty
one. True he noticed her entering
Fournier's glove store one day. and on
another saw her emerge from the same
place. But it was mere accident on
DOC1 OccaSlOnS-Or SO he told himself.
So in six months he only knew that
she was his divinity, that she worked
in Fournier's, and-that she was very
fond of tapioca. Not much of a foun-
dation for q romance, but Paul builded
one that was anchored in the granite
of his heart and lowered where the
clouds of fancy swan gold and white.
Always she sat at the small table
facing the light. and always he sat at
another table from which he could
feel, if he could not always see. her
radiant presence. If he had been a
chair, pillar or any part of the cheap
furniture of the cafe she could not
have paid him less attention. Some
times he came first sometimes she.
Often she left before him and SO was
obliged to pass bis table. but she never
let him catch her looking in his direc-
ton. AS for him, the rustic of her
skirts-they were getting longer as the
months flew by-were TO him as the
rustic of an angels wing. Matters
We're that bad with him. He loved

one vision that filed his mind. In
fancy he was again in the old cafe in
Dryades street. Then the car stopped,
the familiar swish of skirts fell upon

up into the face of her of the cafe.
