The poet tells us that we should all be 'as happy as kings' and gives, as his reason, that the world is 'so full of a number of things.'

A Play in One Act, by Essex Dane.

The restaurant of a department store in New York at sale time is no haven of rest, for the weary shopper, but at Messrs. Altermaker's this day, a kind waitress allows a tired, nervous woman to use the table behind the screen as the superintendent is absent. While the waitress goes for the woman's order another shopper avails herself of the sanctuary.
