CHAPTER 509

CHAPTER 5os Copyright, 1920, King Features Syn dicate, Inc.
 One morning about week after I'd gone to live with Carlotta I was hard at work in my office at Hal danes when the door opened after the. tfniest of knocks, and in walked Max Hoadley.
 There was an air of hustle and stir in his movements. Instead of the heavy pompousness which I've learn ed to associate with him, he was alert and a little sheepish about this eager ness He carried his hat in one hand and in the other roll of copy.
 Morning. your ladyship," he said in his croaking voice. Have you seen the latest proofs of our stuff %
 1T went over it yesterday. The layout looks pretty we'll, doesn't it ?' returned.
 Yes it does. I brought in some of our advertising they're running in one of the star weeklies of this town. for comparison he said gruffly. "Got the time to give 1t the once-over?''
 "Of course" agreed. "I only hope I won't have to eat humble pie over their superiority of arrangement, of color or of type"
 
 Max Hoad1ey spread before me on my desk a double-page of advertis- ing copy in smudgy Sepia with over wide margins and a curious and an moving mixture of typee. Whether the general unattractiveness of the copy was due to the Hoadley adver- Using man Or to the magazines lay out man I couldn't ina zine.
 What do you think of ?" MT Hoadley asked.
 ''I don't want you to think I'm ad- vancing ths Hoadley's interests by decrying other peoples wares," I be- gan stiltedly.
 ''1 asked for your opinion. Can the po1iteness bunk" he burst out tmpatient1y. i've a. lot of respect for you and what you really think. You got under my guard that time you strengthened out the mix-up here was about ready to cancel my ad- vertising contract with the bunch of boobs who didn't know how to do a thing for me until you came along and showed them the way"
 Thank you,' I said gravely. "I'1l be absolutely frank with you. This copy is very poor; not good display stuff, and it employs too many kinds of type. The illustrations are jum- bled in with the text, and the repro duction is blurred. I don't know who's to blame-but it looks as if your advertising man hadn't used the best of judgment. and as if the maga- zine people didn't do much to pull htm out of the hole he got himself into. So-thats that
 'T should say it was!" agreed Hoad1ey, admiringly. And you know your subject. Now I wonder what you are prepared to do for me?"
 What can do?" I replied. '"rhts is out of my department. I can't en- gage to go beyond taking the best possible cares Of you here on Hal danes.
 "Oh, yes you cant" clustered Max Hoadley. "Or at least-I think you can"
 Well, I'd like to know howl" burst from me in utter astonishment.
