PAUL, PAULE, & ADELE / To present suchacover as this month's was possible for us only thru the creation of Assorted Service's mimicrayon ['mimicrayon' is underlined] process.  We wish to acknowledge the 15 hrs ['15 hrs' is underlined] expended by our repro-artist Adele in transposing the original color original to the litho-plate. '' Sold! ['Sold!' is underlined] to the fan with the green back was the Vomaidenon-aluminum advertised last issue; purchase price, $2.50. This we are establishing as a standard for future on-the-plate art-work. This month's PAUL, therefore, is for sale at the same sum. '' About Pauline Hirst (Paule): A lot of U faneds after seeing her gatefold have been riting in & wanting her adres andor an illustration. We now must sadly tell U why her Vomaiden was the one piece of fantasy ever to emanate from her airbrush. To begin with, U shoud understand the original ['original' is underlined] stands 19" x 26" & is in full color, the Vomaiden being a California poppy copper with redish hair, yellow-green gossamer wings & beautiful blue background. She was painted for 4e, from his specifications, over a period of about 10 wks. But there's no accounting for temperaments & upon completion of the picture Paule was so dissatisfyd she woud not release it, woud not, in fact, even show it to 4e. She drew a 2d. Even it made her unhappy. But [illegible symbol here] raved so when he saw it she reluctantly let him keep it--but returned his $10. She said she was thru with fantasy art for the medium upset her. That's how it comes Vom probly'll be uniq in ever ever having presented a Paule pic... There's a slyt sequel: 4e coud not let Paule's work go unrewarded so, noeing her to be a child of the soil, one of nature's little girls who likes the good earth & growing things, he sent her an xpensive plant. Now [same illegible symbol here, symbol for a person?] says he does not recall ever xchanging a serious word with Paule. A typical conversation would be something like the following: 9am--Paule coemes tripping thru the office: "Good evening, Trees." Trees['Trees' is underlined]: "Hello, Paulette. Evening? I thot this was Tuesday. or is it February? Anyway's how'd U get so wet?" Paule['Paule' is underlined]:  "O, didn't you know? All the trees are falling off the leaves. Anyway, I swam over from Catalina. Mermaid, you know." Trees['Trees' is underlined]: "No! U don't say! I had no idea your folks were Finns." The Li'l One['The Li'l One' is underlined]: "O, come now, Forrest dear; do be serious; you are joking with me!" I think the kid's got a great gift of whimsy &ve tryd to persuade her to rite ['rite' is underlined] fantasy but the only xample I have of her typsy talent along that line is this note, which I quote: "dear trees-- this is a plant that would gladden the life of the blase-cst, that would grace the sill of the finest window, that would (and does) cheer the heart of yours truly. '' thank you for this prettie plante, this pretty plant with lurid leaves. did you find it in your trips down the amazon, in a dark jungle, almost hid by spongy strange growths ? ''whatever its ancestry and source, it will be treated as by an elderly spinster, as a warm and homey plant in a little red flower pot, reminiscent of the home we left behind us. '' thank you for the pretty plant. y.t." & that's a picture of Paule !
