London Curio Dealer.

dealer in London. In the outer room

sets Of pieces valued at anything from
so TO 800 guineas. Inside is the pro-
prietors private apartment. To reach
him you gingerly pick your way
through the thousands of pounds
worth of valuable china.
"One day not long ago" Robey says,
II had been chatting within. and
friend was waiting for me in the outer
room. AS / bade the dealer Good
morning and was about to pass into
the outer room there came dreadful
crashing Of broken china. My friend
turned upon me an eye CLASSY with an
guish. Never shall ] forget the pro-
prietor's expression of supreme horror
as he rushed from his sanctum and
saw my friend and myself standing
amid the debris of broken chinaware
which lay strewn around our feet. He
was peechless-choking.
Legal proceedings? Five thousand
pounds? In word, what was the
damage, you inquire Well. am sorry
to have to confess it, for the proprietor
was in bed for a week as the result Of
the shock, but it was gag prear-
ranged. For my friend, who had
brought with him couple of dozen
cheap soup plates. had, at given sig
nal from me. dropped them in a heap

emotion at the prospect Of parting
from all his friends.

of the home teacher, bringing each

widening possibilities, can make in
the life of one who has believed
himself forever shut from normal ac-
tivities, is almost incredible. 1t works
it's miracle-for it is often little less
not only upon the blind student,
but also upon his family; for, as they
feel the gloom of his dependency,
they share, too, the glow of his new
achievements.
There are at present. on the East
ern Shore of Maryland, more than
one hundred men and women known
to be in need of such assistance, but
the work has been greatly retarded
by lack of funds. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that, by means of local coop
Grafton, this difficulty can be over
come and home teaching carried
wherever needed. There are,in Cam
bridge and its vicinity, number of
persons who are now waiting for
the citizens of their own town to
make it possible for the Workshop
to send them teachers. With a view
to showing what can be done with
out sight and of arousing public in
terest along this line, it is expected
that an exhibit of articles made at
the Baltimore Workshop will be sent
to Cambridge within a short time.
This appeal comes to your very door,
and it comes from the neighbor in
your town and county. Watch for a
notice of the exhibit; go to see it,
and listen to what the representa-
tive of the Workshop has to say;
then, give to the cause your deep
est interest and heartiest support.

precedent-set a new mark for future
judges to steer by. 1t is so much cas-
Ter to be governed by precedents al

Here is about the way the average
man would answer an appeal to take
The Day Book the first time he saw
a copy if he were to voice what was
going on without being conscious
of it:
cit doesn't look like a newspaper.
1t isn't unwieldy. It isn't difficult to
read with comfort in car. 1t has
no advertising. 1t has no enormous
headlines. AS it is convenient in size,
is easily handled and easily read, has
large type that is easily read. boils
the news down so can read it quick
ly, isn't afraid to tell the truth about
any matter of public cOncern-why, if
it is all this, surely it can't be news

Another thing prospective subscrib-
ers were looking for when l had can
vassers out trying to build up circula-
ton was bride. They were so accus-
toned to having canvassers offer
them a pair of lace curtains, rock

other premium, that they couldn't be-
Heve The Day Book was a newspaper
when asked to take it for their own
benefit and information.
When a canvasser got through with
his argument with one woman she re-
piled with a question: ANY pres
ents?"
And when she was told there were
no presents she couldn't see The Day
Book as a newspaper.
There were no guessing contests,
no premiums or other brides, no cOu-
pons to clip-hOw could it possibly be
a newspaper?
Yet all the time the circulation is
growing. There was slump for a
few days when the taking of Vera

that long for them to find there was
little or no war outside of the news
papers. Then they came back to the
real newspaper and the circulation
since then has grown every day. Now
it is at high water mark.
Those who stuck to The Day Book
got all the real war news there was
every day.
Bear in mind the only way The
Day Book could grow during the past
few months-since took all canvass
ers off-was by those who liked it
telling others about it. In other words,
the readers of The Day Book them
selves are building up its circulation.
And that means the very best kind
of circulation.
The people will do that for any
newspaper they believe in-and espe-
ciaIly for a new one. People like to

enjoy it. l think there are many Chi

Do YOU wonder that nobody is

DEAR CRITICS: Naturally the artist
does not care to be taken seriously. IN
fact ne does not care to be taken" at all ;
and It Is this modern mania TO 0s taken
at any cost which Is the canker In our art
life of to-day.
Professional artisans and dne.,antes
are taken, but the amateur artist takes,
and artists OF course are always ANA
tours.
The vital difference between amateur
and professional is that the professional
turns outside In, while the amateur turns
inside out. The professional converts play
into work. The amateur converts work
into play.
