When the American Press humorlsts
scatter back TO Ashtabula. st. Mary's,
Youngstown. Waukesha and remoter
points which scattering starts this
morning they will carry with them
fond memories Of Coney Island, the
carnival city by the sea.
Through their convention week New
York had turned toward tho humorists
a face as solemn as any OF their own.
But Coney Island, horored by single
visit Of only few hours duration,
made the un-dealers welcome ycster-
day in a way that went straight TO
their hearts.
Whereas New York had turned out
not a single band to make the delegates
less dolorous a sad reflection on the
hospitality OF Gotham when one con-
siders what Waukesha did for the an
nual gathering Of the mineral water
bottlers in 1910, Coney Island turned
out hundred.
There were bands in all sorts of un-
expected places along Surf Avenue, and
they exploded with the effect of a
string of firecrackers as the dstin-
guished visitors dragged their wives
and children and lunch baskets along
from wonder TO wonder The bands
were only part of the welcome. A com
mittee OF decorations had been at work
apparently for weeks in advance, and
the humorists could not lift their eyes
or turn their heads, except to behold
one Of thousand faces grinning an
preciatively upon them.
Mrs. Robinson's Journey
SO prodigious was one of the laugh
ing faces encountered at certain stage
of their wanderngs that the pleased
humorists could, and did walk right
through the generous mouth. The
mouth was an entrance TO Wonderland
an invitation to Adventure. Immediate
ly beyond II was revolving wooded

"Shucks, It's nothing" she e1-

She walked fairly steadily for about
ten feet and then seated herself with
character and decision. A chair would
have been only in the way. The barrel
and the sympathetic Press Iumorists

dealings with them.

unable to state whore he got the notion
that Cocchi was an honest man.
