 GET MACKENZIE PAINTINGS.
 The Allied Arts club has been most fortunate so far in having appropriate and charming surroundings for its as- sembling. First the attractive studio of Carrie Hill, and then the artistic home of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Hartley Ander- son on last Monday evening.
 In the environment of this lovely home, with all of the beauty and originality of design that the clever architect has displayed in the planning of his own dwelling, this gathering of devotes of lhe arts radiated like a gem in per tect setting.
 When the club affairs and features of the program were over, guests found their way up stairs to the studio, and Sut onto the open terrace that extends from the third floor Here they enjoyed the far view of the irregular skyline of dark mountains on one side, the ycintilating stars in the blue Armament above, and the glowing street lights of the city below on the other side. If one has a sense of beauty, such view can but enthrall. The club has begun a definite movement to secure the Mack snize pastel drawings of the Ensley steel plant, now famous all over the Hountry. When this is accomplished, and . suitable place to hang them has been provided, then, in this act alone, the Allied Arts club will have justified its existence.
 Paul Pim's talk on Cartoons and Cortoonists" was very clever and en- tafssinfng. It proved conclusively that R Baby Mine" ever grows up, and fir. Pim has to turn to other things, he can win fame and fortune on the lecture platform. He said that Baby Mine'' was now appearing in sixty of the leading dailies in large cities. He stated that Baby Mine' was very easy bo draw, and that it was easy to think hp the funny things the baby said, but, In the language of the movie man, the expressive faces of his. audience register ed about that time. MT. Pim closed his remarks with the following clever parody on Hamlet's soliloquy:
 Pmi's SOlilogOy. To draw, or not to draw,-that IS the
 question
 Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to The slings and arrows of outrageous
 fortune,
 Or to take up pen against sea of :. editors,
 And by drawing to say we end the heart-ache
 And the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,-'tis consuma- Devoutly to be wished. To joke, to
 draw,
 To darw! perchance win fame, ay,
 there's the rub;
 For in that comic page what jokes may When we have sketched off this comic Must give us pause: there's the re-
 spect
 That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and
 scorns of time,
 The editors's rejection, the reformers
 contumely,
 The bangs of disprized art, the en-
 graver's delay,
 The insolence of office boys, and the
 spurns,
 That patient merit of the cartoonist
 takes,
 When he, himself, might his quietus
 make
 To grunt and sweat under an artists
 life.
 But that the dread of something after
 death,
 The undiscovered country from whose
 bourne
 Z No cartoonist returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we
 have
 Than fly to others that we know not. Thus editors do make towards of us
 all:
 And thus the native hue of jest Is sicklied or over with the plae cast
 of thought,
 And drawings of great wit and humor With this regard their pen lines turn
 awry,
 And lose the name of Baby Mine.''
