The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

GeD ROTHER WILFRED got the
first real piece Of change yes
terday that he ever got from
his writings" said the Manicure Lady.
He used to come home with five
dollar check once in a while that he
got from the editor Of the Flour and
Feed Gazette OF the Monitor, but yes
terdav he came home and flashed a
hundred dollar note that he had Just
got for song Of which he wrote the
words Of. Even father warmed up to
the poor boy when he seen the yellow
c in Wilfred's trembling mitt,5 and you
can bet the old gent wasn't in no mood
to warm up until the money got in
front of his eagle glance"
Was it a ragtime song?" asked the
Head Barber. 1T must be, though
That's the only kind Of songs that are
getting the dough now"
No II amt a ragtime song" replied
the Manicure Lady. TITS sad ballad.
George. I was sure that it was going
to be liked the minute wilfred showed
It to me. before he showed it to any
body else. I wish he hadn't made it
quite so sad, though. Goodness knows
there is enough weeping in this world
without making up new songs with
sobs in them. Still, / suppose what the
public wants nowadays is extremes in
songs. either something so comic that
it would make q snail smoker or some
thing sad and pensive like dreary rain
falling on sweeping willows. That's the
kind Of a song Wilfred has wrote.
George, and I'll bet you that when it
is sang with slides the folks viii take
on something terrible. This is the way
it goes. / wish I could remember the
tune, but 1t sounds something like this:
GONE REYOND RECALL.
"A handsome married couple IN a
citH far dIoag,
Was setting in their pdrIor at the
close Of one sad dan.
The couple had been scrdppiHg for
the FIRST time in their life.
And each hard tCOrd they uttered
cut the other like knife
At last the tCife could stand no
more, and Just at sir o'clock,
She broke a china platter on her
husbands noble block.
Her husband sdtC the shattered dish
and feIt his battered head.
Then facing his impetuOHs tCife,
these sad i0Ords he then said
CHORUS:
THE dish is gone beyond recall; zee
meier SHAH see it more.
We cannot get one, like IL at the
ire and ten cent store
little dreamed Of such coarse
tCork lcheR U0toiHg I'd be true,
The dish is gone beyond recall-sO
is my toUe for your
Amt there a second verse?" asked
the Head Barber after brief pause "A
ballad ought TO have two verses and
tell some kind Of story. That's what
Charley Harris always said anyhow.
There is a second verse, all right
said the Manicure Lady. Il don't know
just how It goes, but it tells how the
husband went crazy from the blow on
| his head and was all the time wanting
| to play Spin the Platter with the keep
ers at the insane asylum The wife
died If a broken heart, just like she
broke the china platter, and just be-
fore she died she heard her husband. in
a dream, saying them sad words, that
told you in the chorus"
1T ought to be a good seller if they
want sad songs now" said the Head
Barber, It's certainly sad enough"
TT seems kind of improbable, though,
declared the Manicure Lady. mo LADY
ought TO bean a gent with a platter
when dishes is so high"

THE DECLINE OF
AN OLD ART

At this time Of the year the coun-
try bred housewife feels an uneasy
sense of duty left undone even
though she is now living in city,
if she is not conducting extensive
and fragrant enterprises of can
ming and preserving fruit.
In her girlhood failure to provide
this luscious store was regarded
as indicating shiftlessness. Aunts
and cousins dropped in unexpected
ly for long visits. A housekeeper
without a stock of appetizing jams
and jolls was much like factory
owner today who should have no
advance provisions ready in case Of
a break down of machinery The
store of canned goods in the cellar
was a reserve against emergencies
and future needs that gave the
housekeeper feeling of confidence.
Modern enterprise has almost
made uneconomic this former en-
teprise. The factory buys fruit
wholesale, il makes free use of child
labor and other low priced help,
and sells as low as the fruit costs
at the market
The disappearance of this art is
a loss. Canning day was a home
festival that differed from the sea
sonal tasks. The rich fragrance of
the fruit steamed through every
room in the house, giving a prelim-
mary taste of future epicurean
joys. The translucent glasses with
their amber and crimson fruit
Toasted the eye.
Perhaps when the express COM
panies begin to deliver fruit d.
rect from the farm to the kitchen
door, as has recently been suggest
ed, the housewife can get her raw
material at a price making poss-
IDLE the revival Of this ancient art.
Whatever may be said for the
machine product of the factory
there are few families that would
not prefer the product of the home
kitchen, concocted after traditional
recipes handed down from former
generations or given by friends,
and done under the intelligent eye
of the housewife.
