NOTES ON THE BIRTH OF THE LARK Bssto* Herald. "The pictures and rhymes in The Lark rank with the most remarkable things done for children since the days of Mother Goose." Boston. Budget." Tfte Lark is a reaction against the decadent spirit. It is blithe, happy, full of the joy of life and the Greek within us a herald of the dawn of the new century." Btslon Commonwealth. "Everything in The Lark is clever some, we may be permitted to add, cbverer than the rest." New York Critic. " The faddists have produced some extraordinary things in the way of literature, but nothing more freakish has made its appearance in the last half-century than The Lark. " New York Tribune. *'It is prehaps one-fourth a monthly periodical and three-fourths an escapade. The Lark ought really to be called 'The Goose.' " New York Herald. "The current number of Tkt Lark is, if possible, more curious, more quaint, more preposterously humorous, and more original than its predecessors. It is entirely unlike any other publication." Richmond Times.' 1 We do not understand upon what the editor of The Lark bases anticipation of interest and consequent demand." Philadelphia Times. "The young men who publish The Lark have ideas of their own. The Lark is smart and funny in a way quite its own, and it is also capable of serious flights and of musical notes clear enough to be heard across the continent. " Cincinnati Commercial Gat*//*. "The worst thing about it being that it is all too brief." Jersey City Chronicle. " Every line in it is well worth perusal." St. Paul Globe. "The Lark partakes of the prevalent temper of life on the Pacific Coast, where the don't-care mood of the West takes an especially sunny and cheerful turn, and life looks a bigger joke than elsewhere in the Union." St. Lovis Mirror. " The Lark continues to be odd and ridiculous. Its humor is quite unlike any other humor ever seen in this country. There are good men with good pens working on The Lark." Kansas City Star. "The Lark seems to have attained a distinction hitherto considered impossible in the unconventional. It seems really original. It succeeds in holding in captivity the unexpected. " Lfs Angeles: The Land of Sunshine. " It is unlike anything nearer to hand than 'Alice in Wonder land.'" The full set of Eight Posters for THE LARK will be sent post-paid for $2.00.

We see it go with a real regret and a NOTES ON THE PASSING OF THE LARK pej feeling that we could have better spared a better paper." CAROLYN WELLS. New York Times. ' Regret moderately deep and thoroughly sincere will be felt all over the country at the announcement that The Lark has ceased publication. A considerable number of people could see no humor and less meaning in its songs, but. thousands of others had keener eyes and ears, and looked and listened with delight." Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. " The Lark is dead, and the Epilark has come and gone, leaving behind them only a haunting echo of joyous song and a love of living delicious to contemplate." St. Paul Daily Globe. " But the mood in which we turn the Japanese pages of the last Lark is anything but flippant. It is something to have known youth and gayety, enthusiasm and a bravery which flies in th face of day, and now something to have lost them. The Lark has lived and now dies well, and, to some at least, the time of its irregular appearance will no longer be a red- lettsr day." The Philosopher. "And now The Lark announces its end. It was the freshest, purest breath of air that ever blew across the atmosphere of letters." Boston Times. " So unique in literature and illustration, we are sorry to note that its publication is to be suspended. The bound volumes for the two years it has been running deserve a place in the libraries of all lovers of the odd and advanced in literature." Paragraphs. " No more shall its cool notes delight the trer-tops, and no longer may we follow in the footsteps of Vivette It is a pity, of course; but what can you expect? Larks must be fed, and no one thinks of feeding them. " Scranton Tribune. " Its clever foolery shows how big a void was created when The Lark decided to sing no more. The Lark was the one new thing in junior magazinedom that did not outlive its welcome." St. Louis Mirror. " It smacked of Robert Louis Stevenson. It was ' Alice in Wonderland ' in picture. It was art through a crazy looking-glass. It was the realism of nonsense. The whole country laughed at the strange pictures with the brilliantly unintelligible verses. But much of it was not understood of the people who need diagrams. The Lark was always too high in the blue for the many; but for those who might mount with him or to him for those the magazinelet was published. Those enjoyed it; and now they regret it for The Lark is no more. It was so original that its death is its only unoriginality." " 'The Purple Cow* and 'The Chewing-Gum Man* will last forever." The Bill-Poster. " The Lark has for its distinction that it introduced 'The Purple Cow ' into art." yew York Critic. THE PURPLE COW: A collection of vagaries from The Lark, by Gelett Burgess, including the impossible idylls of The Chewing-Gum Man, The Runaway Train, and The Flying House. Price, 50 cents.
