An Ideal Match.

As might be expected, William M.
Chase, the artist, knows a great many
young persons of that artistic tenn
permanent which dreams lot more
than it does. Among these is young
woman who can write stories and
young man who can paint pictures.
One day Mr.. Chase, who exemplifies
the fact that Genius is half Labor,
was talking to the young man about
his dreaming abilities, and mentioned
the young woman as another one go
ing along the same primrose path OF
dalliance.
I'D like to meet her." said the
young man, unabashed. Wont you
introduce me? want that sort of
artistic temperament in the woman /
