JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
Copyright 1929 by Edgar A. Guest.
THE FOOL.

THE FOOL.
This is the tale of foolish man, one
of the countless throng.
His home was happy and filled with
peace, till a stranger came
along.
And the fool invited him in to tea, and
the stranger sat him down
And looked at the joys which tho fool
possessed and viewed them with
a frown.
There ought to be windows over
there" said the stranger unto
him.
THE dining room 10 much too small
and the light IL much too dim
You should change the style of the
furniture and build the house
anew. /.
You and your wife would be happier
here If you'd do what tell you
to-"
Now under that roof the fool had
lived, and gladly the years were
spent,
i'ul hnuti the Sleit pl tHe Stranger
words he brooded in discomfort,
And the love of his home was turned
to hate and his smile became a
frown
And cursing the roof which had shell
tered him, in anger he burned
It down,
The fool could have altered the house
he owned, but the stranger
said: destroy"
So his foolish hand applied the torch
to all that had brought him Joy
And though you smile at this mao
mans deed. take heed as you gS
your way,
| That you let no stranger in youl
house who shall lead your min,
astray.

GROWTH OF A NEW ART

The Borgbese reproductions owe
their appeal probably less % their de-
signs than 20 their rich coioriug and
finish. The colors ore subdued and
blended perfectly By tho eye Of an
artist The secret Of the art of maxi
ing faithful reproduction lies in. ths
finishing after the coiorg are laid on.
1t takes dozen or more processes os
painting. rubbing, sheliacking and
polishing before the pieces attain that
subtle CLEAN or patina which charao-
terizes the genuine antique. There
processes are the result Of long ex-
perimentation In tho Niepold shop.

copies OF such familiar old italian
masters as the Mona Lisa. Apparent

worked over by brushing and rubbing
until they too seem ~ show the effects
of long time and wear. The final
touch is to leave them showing tho
strokes OF the painters brush.
Although the business Is now a iu-
crativs one and the plant employs a
score or more Of workmen, the pro-
prietors do not do as they might and
sit around in an Office directing tho
work. Every day the father and thre.
sons don their long painters aprons
