A Splendid Studio
-All but the View
Wearily the irl climbed the long
dirty flight of stairs It made the
twenty third flight that she had
mounted that day and her hack ached
and her brain was dizzy and her heart
was sick
Verily she sighed they charge
more for a holo in the ceiling than for
n whole house
For the girl was looking for a sky
light and any person who has ever
searched New York for a skylight
studio knows that the Pilgrims Prog
ress or the hunt for the Golden Fleece
was a mere summers pastime beside
such a task
The janltress flung open the door of
the back room and the girls eyes
danced with joy Here it was at last
just what she had been looking for
A big bright room long enough to
swing a Mexican hammock across
with a large old fashioned fireplace on
one side and a beautiful skylight In
its ceiling through which the north
ern light showed clear and white
O joy O happiness exclaimed
the girl running to the huge old
fashioned windows and flinging them
up and then she stopped short for
the sight that met her gaze fell like
a blow upon the artistic temperament
to say nothing of the human eye
Line after line of common everyday
washing stretched in an unending
vista before her horrified gaze and
above and behind the snow of drip
ping garments loomed the hideous
rear wall of an ugly tenement The
girl stood still and reflected for a mo
ment
I knew she murmured there
must be something the matter with it
at that price Then her eye -wandered
back to the skylight and the
fireplace and she fell
O well they only wash on Mon
days she decided as she signed the
lease
But to her consternation she discov
ered a week later that people who live
in tenements wash every day judg
ing by the fresh productions daily
Each morning the girl arose to face a
line of vermillion blankets or a row
of baby frocks
Her soul shrank at the thought of
Inviting a friend to view this hideous
background and gradually her inspira
tion became dulled The pictures in
her brain resolved themselves into
overalls and cotton sheets Then a
great Idea came to her and she hied
herself o a shop where they sell a
wonderful transparent paper which
you paste on your window giving it
the effect of stained glass Gayly she
hurried home with a St Cecilia win
dow in one hand and a Rembrandt in
the other The result was glorious
She worked all that evening and
the next morning when she opened
her eyes the sun was sifting through
in pink and yellow rays and instead
of the horrible tenement wash St
Cecilia and the Rembrandt figure
smiled upon her encouragingly Then
she bought some pale yellow silk and
hung -it in simple folds across the
upper panes of her windows Over
this and falling to the floor at either
side she draped soft rich curtains
8nd on Jtop of the whole she had thick
green shades adjusted
Now she declared defiantly not
even Peeping Tom could see through
that And then she invited her en
tire coterie of friends to her house
warming
They came to see and remained to
envy Never they declared had there-
been such a gem of a studio such an
Ideal place in which to dream and
work ind make merry How had the
lrl found it And how could she af
ford It
The girl chuckled to herself and
shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly
It was a great hour of triumph A
wealthy connoisseur was present also
a rich woman who might possibly or
der a portrait The tea kettle bubbled
merrily and the pink and yellow lights
filled the place with mystic beauty
The girl lifted the old silver teapot
to pour the wealthy connoisseur a sec
ond cup Suddenly the harsh jangle
of a fire engine rang out on the air
Everybody sat up and listened Nearer
and nearer came the clanging bell
The studio babble stopped It seemed
that the engine stopped almost under
the girls window There was a ma-
raent of excited hubbub The wealthy
connoisseur rushed over and flung
open a window and craned his neck
The girl sank weak and helpless on a
divan
What is it Where is it cried
the excited guests crowding toward
the open pane
Its a snowstorm not a fire re
marked tne wealthy connoisseur
drawing his head in Its been snow
ing pajamas I think
And the fire half a block away was
forgotten as the disillusioned guests
gazed blankly upon the unending
rows of McGrady flannels and Blum-
filein nightgowns
Next morning as the girl awoke it
seemed as though St Cecilia grinned
at her maliciously and the Rembrandt
person actually leered
Once more the big studio is for
rent and the girl is ensconced in a
tinjr box of a room with one window
that opens on Washington square Her
knees and sides are bruised from
bumping against her furniture in this
two-by-four compartment and her
hammock sits diconsolately in a cor
ner but her artistic temperament Is
recovering and has begun to sit up
and take notice

Secret of Japans Success

luctance that I prepare to lose my grip
of the exciting consciousness that I
have to day seen the most stupendous
spectacle that it is possible for mortal
brain to conceive Asia advancing
Europe falling back the wall of mist

meaning of this retreat of Europe be
fore advancing Asia The more I
think the more certain I am that it
was not strategy or tactics or arma

battle of Liaoyang for Oyama but that
It was rather the souls of the Japanese
troops which triumphed over the less
developed less awakened less stimu

A large proportion of the operations
performed in our hospitals ire upon
women and girls for some organic
trouble
Why should this be the case
Because they have neglected them
selves as every one of tliee patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations
pains at left or right of abdomen
backaches nervous exhaustion in
flammation ulceration displace
ments and other organic weaknesses
All of these symptoms are indica
tions of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not heeded the
penalty has to be paid by a dangerous
operation When these symptoms
manifest themselves do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera
tion but remember that Lydia E
