WORK FOR BOTH OF THEM.
A certain well-known artist had among 1 his acquaintances many young persons of that artistic temperament which dreams a lot more than it performs. Among these was a girl who thought she could write, and a yoting fellow who imagined he could paint. One day the artist, who maintains that genius is half labour, mentioned the girl as being another dreamer, who was going along the same primrose path of dalliance as the youth to whom he was speaking. "Oh ! I should so like to meet her," said the young man, unabashed. "Won't you introduce me? I want that sort of artisr tic temperament in. the woman. I marry." "Of course, I will," was the sarcastic reply. "It would be a. great combination, and you could be everlastingly busy illustrating the stories she doesn't write with tho pictures you don't paint."
