DGE” eres ee i fe | H the Judge doffs his ermine and asks the court to decide what is April 6, 1918 Prose and Cons By P.M. Humor, we give it up, and would like to know what we been laughing at any- ray—Pensacola (Fla.) Journal. Laughing at yourself, my boy—yourself as seen in the other fellow when he describes a parabola over the eternal banana-peel or when his wife or mother-in-law bests him in averbal wrangle. All said and done, humor is merely the pitiless X-ray which shows up all of us as we are—shows us stripped of the garb of dignity, shows us prancing around in our shirt-tail, as it were. * . * “Loafing has become an obsolete calling,” says the Nashville Banner. The attention of the Banner is respectfully called to Palm Beach.— Birmingham A ge-Herald. And with less respect it may be pointed out that some considerable loafing is ob- servable in Washington. . . . Every sucker is somebody's visible means of sapport.—Toledo Blade. To succor is but human; to support di- vine—idiocy. Mrs. William R. Coe has had the excellent judgment to delegate Mr. Chanler to treat the sun parlor of her house at Oyster Bay... Against the background of pearl-like irides- cence, Chanler has built his picture of enchant- ment. Great trees burdened with strange blos- soms shelter birds of all species—the most prig- gish of toucans, the most amorous of paroquet the most exclusive of peacocks, the most eli of ospreys. To all the radiance of their tropical plumage are added the splendor of action, the treasure of liveliness. The feathered galaxy stalks amid beds of lilies and drinks from pools fringed with orchids. The birds philander from moss-covered rocks and points of vantage, shaded by tropical vegetables, and the entire scene is so wrought with poetry, romance and humor that one must feel that Chanler is veritably the true artist of the war.—The (Society) Chronicle. The carnal horrors of Verdun and the bloody wastes of the Marne are but a young girl’s dream of Paradise compared with the quivering nightmare evoked by this writer's epic on interior decoration. One hopes that the philandering fowls amid their riot of of “tropical vegetables” do not blot out the radiance of Mrs. Coe’s sun-parlor. Truly this Bolsheviki bird-house has won for the decorator his place in the sun as “the true artist of the war,” if what this opulent ing Tt mot Keeping the house supplied with water from a nearby well was one of the numerous tasks W.L.
