Considering the pictorial advertisements, A. B. Walkley finds that that
triumphant figure of the active, bustling world, the business man,
divides his day somewhat as follows: He begins with his toilet, which
seems to center in or near his chin, which is prominent, square, firm,
and smooth; even the rich, velvety lather cannot disguise it. The
business man collects safety razors; he collects collars, too. He seems
to be in the habit of calling in his friends to see how perfectly his
shirt fits at the neck. Once dressed, he goes to his office and is to be
found at an enormous desk bristling with patent devices, pleasantly
gossiping with another business man. You next find him in evening dress
at the dinner table, beaming at the waiter who has brought him his
favorite sauce. Lastly you have a glimpse of him in pajamas, discoursing
with several other business men in pajamas, all sitting cross-legged and
smoking enormous cigars. This is the end of a perfect business day.

Mr. Kipling has obtained an injunction and damages because a medicine
company used a stanza of his "If" to boost its pills. While we do not
think much of the verses, we are glad the public is reminded that the
little things which a poet dashes off are as much private property as a
bottle of pills or a washing machine.

Animals in a new Noah's Ark are made correctly to the scale designed by
a London artist who studies the beasts in the Zoo. Would you buy such an
ark for a child? Neither would we.

Social nuances are indicated by a farmer not far from Chicago in his use
of table coverings, as follows: For the family, oil cloth; for the
school teacher, turkey red; for the piano tuner, white damask.
