A © friend, THE MINISTER'S To Our Friends ‘O the many contributors to the Fresh ir Fund, Lire is compelled to ex- press regret that acknowledgments of individual contributions do not appear in Lire until nearly a month has elapsed. The accompanying statement, for exam- all contributions received be- fore August 18, 1920. All contributions, whether in money or in gifts, are imme- diately applied to the fund, and the apparent delay in the printed acknowledg- ments is due entirely to mechanical con- ditions, Our friends may rest assured that we are doing all we can to overcome these conditions,” ple, include URE TO ASK ME IF I ENJOYED THE SERMON— JUST WHEN I'D MADE UP ME MIND TO QUIT TELLIN’ LiEs, Too” Pianistes and Artistes ISS JENNIE IR MIN has re. cently written a novel called 4y Fame's Gateway: The Romance of ¢ Pianiste; and this title will be alluring to all those who are curious to discover what manner of creature a pianiste may be The book itself reveals the strange and startling fact that the fair authoress seems to think that pianiste is the female of the species.

Still, further in- quiry disclosed there are not a American citizens of sound mind who are delusion the under the that feminine Here again a marvelous misap- prehension of the speech of the Gauls Of course, artiste in French carries n0 more suggestion of sex than does artist in English. Ever more extraordinary is the distinction bestowed upon the needlessly imported word artiste by the performers in the London variety shows, the Music Halls, so called—* most Music-Hall, most melancholy,” as one of their own poets has it. In a footnote on the eighteents page of a volume of caricature portraits of the stars of the London vaudeville houses, the astounded American reas this insular definition: “An artist creates; an artiste performs.” Can you beat it? artiste is of a we find BLM. comicbooks
