joy Il life. New Workers have
.ysrything ,,-, but they are getting to
very SERIOUS people and the old ac-
,u.ation that they are inspired by
American humor is losing its force. At
East this 5, apparently what Rose
Cyell THINKS.
Arriving 'U, other day in New York |
rom her Missouri ranch after an alb
.,nce OF fifteen months she took a walk
With her young sister, and this Is what
,appened ell, she described 1t to a Sun
rporter:
What de- YOU think I saw? Kewpies
4 trimming a. me from. oh, a dozen shop
y rindows Wen. Of course the least l
could do was to- laugh back and then
people looked and the first I knew they
| cSere all laughing"
Having started the merry ball rolling,
.he JOY giycr pursued her way and lit
lie removed from the promenade of
ashonab.,s she saw what at first view
she believed To- be a Kewpie house with
nice. clean sandbank in front of 1t for
the Kewp,cs 20 play in. Her sister,
yersed in metropolitan lore, explained
that while the municipality just adored
the Kewp.,s there had not been made a
definite appropriation for housing them
4 Fcpery
Disappointed but not dismayed and
fred by the belief that all the authori-
tes needed was a suggestion. Miss
| ONeill-she is the possessor of other
n4mes. but she prefers this one for
Erking purposes-took a nice, chubby
| Kewp from her vanity bag, stuck him
Ret down in the soft sand at the side OF
he little log cabin-which was built to
house the tools OF the subway workers
and went on her way rejoicing.
Pissersby, tired by the days work
ambitious plodders with their feet on
| the ground and their heads in the
xlUuds, rich, poor, men, women and chill
ren saw the Kewple holding little
TED fag In his dimpled hand and smil-
ing at them with that mixture of humor
tend sympathetic understanding which
4 marks tn, Kewpie face, and all at once
hey laughed. Some waved return
greeting every one was gladder and
better for the foolish little persons APP
Parance In the sandbank at the side of
The tiny log cabin.
The Kewpe is to the human world
Nhat the Teddy bear is to the four
footed II is the embodiment Of fun and
vitality and good natured benevolence.
L inspires respect even in cynical
gTownups, II is the logical descendant
Of the brownie Of Palmer Cox fame,
having a great many of the tempera-
uSntal qualities but possessing
slaughter logs
1t stands, says Miss. O'Neill. for
AT' order and simple dressing"
In the latest book which describes the
oo1ngs Of k,Wpies and published by the
Frederick stokes Company Miss ONeill
