HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
HEARTY PRAISE FOR THIS COUNTRY
FROM A CANADIAN.
John j. PadIer. of Toronto, Canada,
Says Americans Are the Salt
of the Earth.

1.-The United States is the best place on
earth; its people are the most progressive,
the most liberal and the most aggressive in
a business way"
Such a statement coming from an Amer
lean, might be considered mere patriotic
enthusiasm, but, coming from a Canadian,
subject of King Edward. it is an unmis-
taxable compliment. and the man who said
it meant every word. The man was John
]. Padler of Toronto, who is stopping at
the Denison. He followed up his tribute to
the United States and its people with the
statement that if it were not for the facts
that all his property and business interests
were in Toronto and that his family had
lived there so long, he would become an
American citizen within the shortest posi-
BILE time.
Mr.. Padler is manufacturer of coffee
mills and mills to seed dried fruits. His
factory is in Toronto, but he markets the
greater part of his product in the United
States and maintains headquarters at Chi
cago and San Francisco. He has been COM
ing into the United States for the past
twenty-five years. he said. He likes the
Western States especially.
Il have spent the last four winters In
California" he said, land l expect to be in
Los Angeles by the 1St of next month to
spend my fifth winter there. If L could do
exactly as l pleased l would never spend a
winter anywhere else than in California.
The climate is delightful and the people are
the cream of the earth. They are pleasant
to meet in both a social and business way.
They are the most liberal men to deal with,
but the people of the Western States have
that characteristic. The farther East you
come the closer you find the business men
and the harder the bargains they will drive.
In the West they do not deal In fractional
currency and they pay cash. AS you come
East business men begin figuring on the
cents, and when you finally veer up into
Canada they skin you alive. The Canadians
will drive the hardest bargain, and then
they will insist from three to nine
months credit without interest.
Mr. Padler was asked why he did not
move his factory to this country, and he
replied that ne had contemplated such a
step, but did not believe that he could af-
ford to do so. However. he said he stayed
in Toronto purely for business and family
reasons.

For the College Room.


New Orleans Times-Democrat
The college boys make their own posters
in a novel and very pretty fashion. For
instance, one college boy has in his den
several dashing golf girls pasted on a dado
of black that runs midway about the walls.
The golf girls are carelessly framed in golf
sticks, tennis racquets, riding whips, guns,
etc.
The ballet posters are chic. Dainty pic
lures of ballet girls are pasted on a like
dado of black, which is relieved at artistic
intervals by scattered cards, white satin
masks crossed rapiers, odd sheet of
music, tiny satin slipper, etc.-all fastened
by means of glue or tacks to the black
border.
An odd way to arrange ones collection
of kodaks and photographs would be TO
tack them with brass-headed tacks on such
rroup of pictures whatever is suggestive of
the time or friend. These trophies which
now fill so many odd corners in desk and
dresser might be used TO advantage In the
little scheme of drolleries and decoration.
a sense of humor as well as OF artistic dec
oration might be evidenced, and the effect
would certainly be odd and interesting.
Originality in decoration is growing
fad among college girls and men in the
North. One young Harvard man, the son
of a millionaire, has his room In Cambridge
papered in solid black, relieved slightly at
cornices with gold. Only dull brown etch-
ings framed in gold ornament the walls
and the iron he'd is painted black, its elab-
crate trimmings of brilliant brass showing
TO a wonderful advantage. An old gold
carpet covers the floor, and thick, black
ruos lie about. regular sleepy hollow
lounge of dull yellow brocade fills one cor
ner. and this is piled with black and gold
pillows. ..,,,,
