What Is Realism?
Probably the, simplest1 definition ex
plains realism as the attempt to see
and depict 'the world as it Is. Un
fortunately, this is meaningleBS. Every
asaa sees his own world, and if he
depicts it as it is there is little like
lihood of its being the same as the
world of anybody else. We shall be
on safer ground if we say that realism
ia tke attempt to depict tke world
as 'the. ordinary man sees it tke av
erage, commonplace man. Although
not a novelist says Gamaliel Brad

realist of Utereture is Pepys. ' The

INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid
One of the most curious contests
ever before the public waa conducted
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Postum Cereal Co, Ltd
of Battle Creek, Mick, for prizes of
31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the lettere Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts.
The contest waa started in Febru

the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906.

Young ladies, generally those who

were employed to examiae these lists

THE OLD
New York. Tke saddest place to
tkedty.
'Da yoa know where it ia?
Do you tnink that some time, per
haps, ta your life you have found it?
Can yoa abut your eyes to the pres
ent New York man or woman, and
took back to that day when you found
some one yon loved down ta the silent
morgue, and aay, yea, yoa know .the
place well the saddest place in New
York? Or remember one" corner ta
some green cemetery where aU your
love Uea buried, sad say, no, the place
la here? Or look at some deserted
aome, where ghosts of a lost faith
walk always, and say, no, tkia la tke
saddest place of all, for here there is
no hope?
But it is not so. The saddest place
ta all New York ia not a spot deter
mined by the personal, individual loss
of mere life or love or faith. ,If it
were, every grave would claim the ti
tle and every broken heart dispute
It ...
It is one little room in n large build
ing up on Sixty-eighth street Two
sweeping rows of broad stoner steps
lead from the street to the wide doors
of the main entrance. These doors
are always locked. But under the
atone staircase, right in the center,
opening directly on the street is a lit
tle low door.that ia always open, and
It. Is the entrance to the saddest place
ta New York.
It Is framed in clinging ivy vines,
the Uttle low door. Above It on each
side of, the stone steps, droop weeping
willow trees. Higher still there
stands In a niche the statue of a wo -an
holding a child close to her breast
And every woman who seeks the lit
tle low door under the ivy vines holds
a. child close to her breast but when
she comes away her arms are empty.
For this is the New York Foundling
Asylum.
Anyone may enter through the door
way. . There la no one to stop you of
question you as to why you .have
come. You stand in-a small, square
room. There is no carpet on the
floor, no pictures on the walls. Two
settees stand, one on each side of the
room. And between them is a Uttle
white cradle. It Is very dainty and
inviting, that cradle. The tiny blan
ket and coverlet are soft and spot
less, the Uttle baby pillow has a lace
edged case, and there is a pretty mus
lin canopy draped above It in bas
sinet fashion.
But the room Is not empty. Pacing
ap aad down the floor is a woman,
hardly past girlhood. She does not
look very strong. Her long brown
chiffon veil Is- thrown back from her
face. It is a sweet face the features
wen cut and refined, but white and
wet with tears. Close ia her arms,
so close that the Uttle face is pressed
next her cheek, she holds a baby,
hushing it to sleep.
Last Leek at Her Child.
After awhile she lays It down gently
ta the Uttle white cradle and stops to
listen, but there Is no sound, aad the

death1 had given her no choice ia the
matter. .She has absolute choice.
Either she may take tke baby agala
to her breast and face the world with
It or else she may go tkroagk the
Uttle tow door and leave it forever
behind her.
Steading ta the corridor beyond the
little room, 1 watched this mother.
She stood rocking .the. cradle for about
five minutes. Her sobbing ceased.
Once she stooped and kissed the Uttle
face on the pillow. . Then; suddenly,
she let the brown chiffon veil fall
over her. face' and, turning from the
cradle, went quietly out of the door
aad down the street And she did not
come back.
After she went out of sight the Sis
ter of Charity who sits in the little
office next to the room with the cradle
went In and took the baby in her
arms. It waa well-dressed and about
four weeks old. The sister, touched
a bell, and presently a nurse came
and took the baby away to the recep
tion, ward. That was all. It was a
common case. Only one more mother
who had deserted her child; only one
more baby foundling in Greater New
York.
The sister smoothed the coverlet
on the cradle, shook up the pillow,
and left it ready for the next one.
Now and then a strange figure
comes to the Uttle room, a lone,
troubled figure. Out of placeand In
congruous, the figure will not bother
over the appeal of the cndle, but will
go straight to the sister In the office
and hand over the burden it carries
to her. These are the fathers. And
the most helpless object in the world
is a man wjth a week-old baby 'In his
arms, trying to find out what it wants.

Is for some one to take the weak,
fumbling, crying blind kitten bundle
out of their arms and care for it so
they can go to work.
But most of the mothers are of that
other great class, the "unwedded," as
the sisters call them.
When a woman walks Into the lit
tle room and lays a child in the
cradle without a tear or the least hes
itancy and goes hurriedly away the
sister smiles and shakes her head.
"That was not the mother. A

The great trouble to an unmarried
girl with a child is that she cannot
