HE DESIRE to start every day pleasantly has brought about a demand, among dis- cerning men, for better shav- ing preparations. To meet this demand Houbigant created Fougere Royale, com- bining a superior excellence of quality with the clean refreshing fragrance of the Royal Fern. HOUBIGANT, INC. 16 W. 49tb Street New York + LIFE - Laurels Wuew I am honored, then shall I be dead; Then I may have the wreath, al- lowed to Death, But grudged to all whose blood leaps warmly red, Who yearn and hunger still, whose every breath So eagerly is drawn. A poor renown Is this, of having died! A sad reward Is Fame, for being dead! So, while they crown Some acquiescent corpse, I bare my sword To give and take, to parry, thrust and smite, Blunting shrewd blows upon the silver shield Of Mirth that never failed me in the fight The victory whereof is not-to-yicld. Their cold, funereal laurel let them give To him who strives no more!—I choose to live! A, Concerning Conventions Tur Convention is the most char- acteristic of all American activities, It is the Joiner’s Joy, the Booster’s Boon, the Plugger’s Paradise. Conven- tions are sometimes held for a definite object, such as the nomination of a presidential candidate, and sometimes just to prove that the world is a small place after all. They comple smother the towns in which they are held, but the towns themselves are d lighted with the compliment and always come back for more. A large part of every Convention is taken up with discussions of where the next one is to be held. The most important activities of a Convention are always carried on in the hotel lob- bies. There is also an auditorium for those who like to make speeches. All real work is accomplished in commit- tee meetings, behind closed doors. A Convention Delegate is likely to come home with the following para- phernalia, for none of which he has any use whatever: 1 badge, to identify him; 1 arm-band, telling where he is from; 1 hat-band, giving the same information, in case the other marks of identification are over- looked; 1 cane, marked “Lean on In- dianapolis for next year”; 1 coin, in- scribed “St. Paul will spend its last dollar to entertain you"; 1 miniature cotton-bale, marked “Memphis calls you to Dixie Land”; 1 imitation fly, to swing on a string and buzz, in- scribed “Texas is buzzing for the next Convention”; 1 small brown jug, la- beled “Montreal expects you in 1926.” Montreal promises to be the great Convention City of the future.
