Trode.
NEW TORK. Nov. 77. - "There' my
Who Who.' " said Carolyn Welti. Jingler
maxima, "and there's my "Thesaurus of
English Word and Phrases,' and there'!
my Vocanu:ary of English, Rhyme.' He
hold my mock In trade! All the essentials
for ceaseless verse production." and she
smilingly waved her hand at the valuable
trio.
"Of couise." milled beck the vUltor,
"there' no need for such a mere trifle
a. talent and brains."
"He; pardon, I'm deaf,' laid the
rhymster he purn more aerioui Bound
ing appellatlone but her- eyei twinkled.
It 1 noticeable that her vaunted deafness
make Kit f evident only at convenient
time.
"yes," she continued rapidly, "herein
all ate ccntalned. And If you chooee you'
can omit the 'Who'i Who.' Herein are
odes and rondeaux and ballade and dlxaln
unit hymn and epigrams and chansons
ond past ou relies and"
"Help!" pleaded the visitor.
"It's really o," went on the versifier
It Ik rather , difficult to find a varied as
sortment ot names that will meet with the
approval of her who will not be a poet.
"It's really so that these hooks contain
all the requisite for versifying save a
little sense."
"I have a lit tie sense," said the visitor
hopefully. "Perhaps I can become a
Jingler. What do I do first? What do
ivou do?"
T "What do I do? Why, I don't do any
thing. It doe Itself when it doesn't do
me."
"Ves, but how do you begin? Do you
think out what you arc going to say?"
i "Oh, no. I sit down and take my pen
tn hand, and then I guide It. That's all
I do. Jut physical guidance. We have
a laundress who Iron splendidly. She
deserve no particular credit because her
hand has the knack of guiding the flat.
(lron. Now I guide th pen," and she
smiled as If the whole process must be
perfectly clear.
"I used to dictate to a typewriter lady,"
she continued, "who could writ as fast
as I could talk" certainly a tribute to
the typewriter lady's speed "but she be
came 111 and now I write with a pen. And
I can write as fast as she typed."
But the visitor did not yet, despite Its al
leged simplicity, feel quite qualified to
versify,
"What Inspire you? Surely there must
be an inspiration."
"Oh, yes. My pen Inspires me. That's all.
I JiiBt take tip my pen and then I begin. It
Is all simple, you see."
The visitor nodded in vaguely disturbed
agreement.
'Terhaps," admitted Carolyn Wells, "my
desk does inspire me some. It's an old
Uerman desk over S50 years old. It wa
2j0 years old when I bought It."
"But"
"Old furniture age very rapidly, you
know. Oh, I forgot to how you my note
book. That really I very Important al-
nnmt mm m.ll. mn mm TKa Y'a,.-K..I -n
Rhyme.' Just see this page of titles.
Aren't they good? and Just waiting to be
used. No, you mustn't ' take any of them
down. They are too good to. give away.
And look at this page of phrases. 'Poem
every child ought not to know' Isn't that
lovely? Oh, J don't know how I got It or
when or how I'll use It, but Its time will
ccme. And here this 'violent essence'
doesn't mean a thing resting there but
its time will come, too."
The visitor's eye was peering over to the
next page. "Those look like skeleton out
lines. Do you make out skeleton outlines?"
,1 "Yes, skeleton outlines come in handy
Vt times, too. The notebook and the 'Who'
Who,' etc., ind the pen principally the
pen and there you are, equipped for versi
fying." "And some sense," prompted the visitor,
who then asked Mis Wells If she wouldn't
take her pen in hand and show how the
Inspiration works by writing a sonnet.
"A sonnet! Nonsense! Why not a ses
tlnar replied the Jlngler. "I'll write you
a limerick, the true classical form as has
beep proved over and over. Sonnet! Non
aetJe!" and she seised her pen and more
quickly than can be told the limerick stood
forth nonsense, delightful nonsense.
"It looks very easy," aald the visitor. "I
surely ought to be able to do It."
. "Try It. It does itself In time. Oelett
TOurgesa once told me that no woman could
writs the sort of nonsense he would pub
I llsh." and she smiled In a way that might
Indicate a later change of mind on the part
of the purple cow' creator.
In the fourteen year Carolyn Well ha
been filling the columns of weeklies and
monthlies with hor Jingles and Jest he
has come to be accepted as an authority
1 on nonsense, together with her fellow
workers and good friend, Oelett Burgess
and Oliver Herford. Her "tutor who tooted
the flute" I world famous. She take an
honest pride In the nature of her muse.
She sings:
I'm nue poet, in a sense.
Hut Just a rhymer, like, by chance.
An hae to learning nae pretence.
Vet, what the matter?
Whene'er my muse does on m glance,
I Jingle at her I
But the Jingle are not able to keep
Mis Wells busy. Sketches, defective
stories and books for girts are always on
hand. She ha no lees than three series
of book running now and an Installment
of a 'Tatty'4 book that creation so dear
to -r.fol;lils from coast to coast lay In a
five-pound candy box In which Is was to
Journey to the publisher.
"Why a five-pound candy box?" was
asked. ,
"It's my standard of measure," was the
response. "When I use up a pint bottle
of Ink and consume five pounds of candy
I know the box Is ready to be sent to the
publisher otherwise filled. An infallible
mechanism almost."
It Is hard to tell whether Miss Wells Is
fonder of her rapidly aging desk or her
waste paper chute her own Invention. The
chut it a hole cut In the floor, giving
vent to a broker' ticket basket which con
tinues down bottomless to a Janitor below.
In the book lined study of her Rahway
home Miss Wells spends the morning
hours from o'clock to 1 furnishing guid
ance to her pen. She looks out of win
dows on Jersey trees and Jersey grass.
"How lovely!" sentlmentallxt s the
visitor, "not to have to put on one's hat
and gloves and take a special trip to s e
the grass and trees In the park."
"But I," mourned the rhymster, "have
to put on my hat and gloves and take a
special trip to see the asphalt and sky
scraper; so we are even."
Such Is the woman of whom a Boston
paper once said, "The radiation of happi
ness Is less an art than an exact science."
She plays at her work and avows that she
works for money and not for srt for art's
sake. Itut she docs not want her pub
lishers to know her work Is play.
LITTLE WARDS OF THE CITY
RandalTa Island Colony of Afflicted
Children la (iloomy Place
tn fee.
Of the 1,300 Inmates of the New York
City Children's hospital and schools on
Randall's Island, one-half are feeble
mil ded while the other half have normal
minds tn feeble bodies. Most of them
are under II, and all are under IS. The
colony la In charge of Mrs. Mary C.
Dunphy, the superintendent, and It pre
sents sights both curious and pathetic to
the visitor.
In showing Charities Commissioner Heb
berd and a. party about the other day, Mr.
Drnphy led the way into a .classroom
where fifty feeble minded children squat
tel on the floor around ths teacher, be
ing trained in singing a humming song.
One of them named Jessie was asked
to sing a song, which she did after hearing
a few Introductory chords. From the
throat of this child a voice of unusal
beauty Issued. As soon as the song was
ended Jessie returned to her former state
ot apparent unconsciousness of her sur
roundings. That la a characteristic of these feeble
minded children. Their actions resemble
those of machines. Birds, daisies and
other objects. Including a Warship, were
being drawn on a blackboard by two
dozen feeble minded children in another
room. Many of them could not pronounce
properly the name of the drawn objects
but showed skill with the crayons. When
the visitors left the classroom they heard
the aound of music on the lawn, where
the Island's brass band of twenty-eight
pieces, under the Instruction of Leader
Schmolk, was at attention. It was re
markable how the feeble minded boys fol
lowed so accurately the leadership of the
bandmaster. There Is a base ball team made
up of feeble minded youths, as well as a
basket ball team. ' M t--.-, ..
Another large room contained about two
score boys and girls who were making
garments for the Inmates. Here last year
over 1,609 piece of girls' clothing, 1,800
piece of boys' clothing, 200 garment for
men and alxty-two for women were made.
Beside thin 41,000 miscellaneous artloles
and 6,000 piece of bedding wera repaired.
Th shoe repair shop report show
that almost 13,000 pair of shoes were half
oled and heeled.
The inmate also made repairs to fur
niture. Thousand of plants wera cut and
propagated during the year and In addi
tion the member! of the colony raised
vegetable! for use In the Institution and
several ton of hay and fodder for the
horse on the Island.
One hundred thousand yards of material
1 used here every year, and a an ex
ample of the way the feeble minded chil
dren work it may be aald that a pencil
or chalk line is drawn where a seam Is
wanted In a garment and the children
follow it accurately. Two overseers are
the only one In the aewlng rooid who
possess normal minds.
The crippled children used to haveto
walk to school. Commissioner Hebberd
ha earned their gratitude by supplying
them with a donkey and cart. They ride
In the cart to sqhool and make a pet of
th donkey.
.Other changes brought about by the com
missioner concern the flower garden and
fiult patches, where the children spend
a good deal of time In the summer.
A False Alarm.
The boy was busy down cellar fixing his
sled when his mother called:
"Reggie."
"l'm-ni."
"Regglt!"
"What?"
"Regglt!"
"Well!"
"Reginald!"
"T-es.'
"Reg-l-nald!"
"Yea. ma."
"Why couldn't you answer me properly
the first time?" -'
"What do you wan?"
"Nothing now; but the minister Is com
ing to supper, and I was testing your
manners."
Reggie gave a snort: "I've no use for
these fire-drills, anyhow." Judge.

LUCINDA'S HAT TROUBLES
Had a Flying Machine Specimen that
jCaused Worry.
HIRED . AN UMBRELLA ESCORT
Got Many a Thrill Like Novelists Fut
In Their Stories "Willie Being
Convoyed Home In th
Rain.
"I had read these stories In the papers,"
said Lucinda, "about the boys with um
brellas who wait around subway and
elevated station on rainy day to make
what they can escorting people home,
but It had never occurred to me that I
should ever have any such experience. It
only goes to show that anything is liable
to happen to anybody.
"Do you know that big hat of mine,
the one I have to tip my head sideways
In to get through the narrow doors of the
pay as you enter cars? I've Just had to
buy another smaller hat to wear to run
about In; but the big hat is a nice hat and
I didn't want to get it wet If I could help
it, and the other day I got caught in It
In the rain.
"Do you remember that day when It was
so lovely all day and .hen came on to
rain about half past S? I was out that
day in my big hat and I went home on the
elevated; It began to rain while I was on
the train, and then I thought of those um
brella boys and I hoped I'd meet one.
"I didn't stop where I usually do, at a
station where many people get off and
where there Is likely to be a number of
umbrella boys, but I went . one elation
farther, so as to be nearer home. I thought
I would take a chance of meeting a boy
there. I could telephone for an umbrella
if there wasn't any, but there was just
one boy there. He told me later that he
had come there himself to this station be
cause so many boys went to the other
station; he thought that here, where I
found him, there would be less competition
and he would be more likely to get custo
mers. Not bad for the small boy, do you
think?
Captured the Boy.
"Well, I saw that boy atandlng with
bis umbrella at th foot ot the stair
when I started down from the top, and
Just ahead of me were two other women
and I wa in mortal terror for fear they

would hire htm, but they didn't, and when
I came along:
" Take you home under th umbrella?'
he said to me, and I said:
" 'Certainly,' and then he lifted th um
brella and we started off.
"He wa about 12 and I am older, you
know, and I was a good deal taller than
he, his head came about up to my shoul
der, but he didn't try to hold th um
brella over me, . he opened It and Just
handed It to me and I carried It and he
walked alongside, and he didn't try to
get tn under th umbrella he Just walked
along beside me In the rain.
"W had quite some dlstancs to go
three long blocks across town and one
short block dowiv Rnd I thought I had
better talk to htm a little to sort of oc
cupy the time o that the dlatance
wouldn't seem o long to him. I was hi
very flrt customer. Thl was th first
time he had ever tried the umbrella busi
ness, and he hadn't been waiting there
more than a minute when I cam along;
so he had made a grand start and natur
ally he was very much pleased.
"I had asked him when I hired him how
much It would cost to take me home, and
he didn't know. We talked about that as
we went along. I told him he ought to
have a regular schedule of charges, ac
cording to the distance, and I asketf him
what he would think of charging, say, a
cent a block, charging long blocks aa two;
but he thought that would be too little;
he was Inclined to think that 10 cents
would be about right.
Mother Knew He Waa Oat.
"I asked him If his mother knew he was
out on this work, and he said oh, yes, she
had given him the umbrella; and I might
say here that It was a very good umbcella,
and big; It protected my big hat perfectly.
And Incidentally I learned that my escort
had a sister, older than himself, and that.
he went to school P. S. So-and-so he told
me, and he told me where It was and how
he got to It.
"And then I asked him what he was
going to do with the money he earned
this way, and he said he was going to
keep It In a bank, but he didn't know
yet what he was going to do with It. And
then I asked him if he knew what he was
going to do when he grew up.
" 'Yep,' he said, and I said 'What?' 2nd
my escort's answer to that was:
" 'I don't know yet.' So I Imagined that
he had not yet got his mind very firmly
fixed. -
"By this time we had gone some dla
tance and we were still keeping steadily
on; presently the boy said to me:
" 'Is it much further?" and I told him
not much; and then he explained to me
that he wanted to get back If he could
and get another customer In this rain.
But he was Just as nice about it as cuuld
be he was a nice boy and in a mlnuie
by the architects; every detail was con
sidered from tle acoustic point of view.
What seemed to be th Instinctive pecu
liarities of the Brooklyn Academy and that
of Philadelphia were adopted, and yet
there was no more than partial success.
Bo, too, especial emphasis characterised
th exactions mad by the directors of
th New theater upon th architects that
they might spar no expense or time In
constructing a perfect acoustic interior.
Tluy thought they had met these require
ments, but that mystic something, which
la so elusive and apparently so dependent
upon chance wa not tn their favor.
The builder of railway locomotive
sometimes meet a like experience, al
though In a different direction, for they
have found that of two locomotives built
exactly alike, without apparent deviation
of a fraction of an Inch In any part of the
apparatus or a measurable difference In
th weight of the steel and iron, one will
always behave perfectly, , whereas, " " the
other Is constantly refractory. And th
builders of locomotives have never been
able to explain what occasions this dif
ference any more than th architect of
public buildings can tell why on Is per
fect acoustically and th other faulty.

DRESSED IN AIRY HARNESS
With Her Body Stained Golden
Bronae She Performs Davrlna;
Dane.
Miss St. Denis appears tn mor than a
program in New York. In her most daring
dance, though, she wears only a sort of
harness of Jewels over her lithe body.
Stained a golden brons with the Juice of
the betal nut, she Is so completely, clothed
In the spirit and beauty of India that any
one who goes to see her for any other
reason than that of appreciation of a won
derful art is going to be disappointed.
"Undoubtedly my dances are the most
daring on the stage, If you consider merely
the question of drapery," she said. "I
mean that I wear fewer clothe than Isa
dora Duncan. Maud Allen or any of the
Interpreters of Greek dancing. For In my
last dance that called 'The Temple.' where
I appear as the enshrined Idol Radha, the
wife of Vishnu I wear, with the exception
of trunks, absolutely nothing but jewels
and flowers. That Is all that the Idol really
wears, and, to put other things on her
would seem to me to be prudish, if not
prurient.
"I try to give an Interpretation as well
as a representation of India. But unless
you have seen the dance I doubt If you will
ui derstand what I mean.
"Everything in dancing depends on the
spirit In which It Is done. I'ndertaken In
the right spirit and before an audience
that took It In the same spirit. It would be
possible to give a performance In the nude

10 cents, but I gave him 6 cems extra lo";
put In his bank, and then he took the um
brella and scurried back to see if he could
get another customer.
"Wasn't that all very Interesting? I
had never dreamed of anything like this
happening to me, but here I was now
hiring an umbrella buy myself, just like
I'd retd about In the stories in the papers.
But we never can tell what's going to
happen to us."
MYSTIC QUALITY OF ACOUSTICS
Most Kleslve of Pnesles with Which
Architects Have lu
Deal.
Thst mystic quality which architects
constantly designed for an auditorium, or
any public service, namely good acous
tics, Is reported to have eludid the archi
tects who designed the New theater in
New York. Recent tests suget that Ihu
acoustic quality is not as good as Is thai
of th Metropolitan Opera house. The
Philadelphia Academy ot Music and the
old Brooklyn Academy of Music, burned
some years ago, were distinguished for
their almost perfect acoustic qualities. And
yet the architects were no more than for
tunate whan they planned these buildings.
They did the pest they could and left th
rest to chance.
Wlien th Metropolitan Opera house waa
constructed th greatest pain wer taken
So I saw Miss St. Denis's performance.
her coin a dance. In which with wonderful
writhing anna and legs she stimulates the
motions of the cobra In a small bazar near
the Gunges; her Nautch dance, the num
ber called "The forest." In which she im
personates a Hindoo Yogi, and the final
Mystic dance of the five senses, in which
the idol Radha descends from th shrine
and gives to her priests the message that
the gratification of the 1 senses leads to
despair, and that only In renunciation does
the soul find peace.
It is in the last dance that Miss St. Denis
wears the Jewel harness, and there It no
doubt that the audience at the Hudson, of
whom four-fifths wer women, found noth

shrine of Radha, who sits cross-legged and
with joined hands pointing heavenward,

on the floor of the temple her priests ring
bells and wave lights in their efforts to

The priests are real Hindoos. The temple

Throughout the performance a subtle odor

"Few persons realise th psychological
effect of Incense," Miss St. Denis remarked
afterward. "Yet It la because of its peculiar
lnfluense that It Is used In churches. It ex

my entire performance and Indeed for some
time after I leave th theater. It seems to
be necessary to the understanding of my

NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Hopeful Results of Vaccine Tests at
Tnfts Medloal Col
lege. Of Immense Interest to medical science
are results recently obtained In laboratories
and hospitals by the department of path
ology and bacteriology of the Tuft Medi
cal school of Boston, In th treatment of
pneumonia by Injection of vaccine derived
from germs which cause the disease Itself.
These germs are rendered entirely non
harmful before being used In treating th
disease.
Without here entering upon the techni
cal aspects of the treatment, which Is en
tirely new. The Times will present Its most
significant features, aa related tn an arti
cle In the - current Issue of the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal.
Dr. Timothy I.eory of Tufts Medical
school desiring to test the new vaccine on
the most unpromising subjects appealed to
his professional friends to use the treat
ment In alcohoMc and other extreme cases
The vaccine Is called pneumoclccus vac
cine, the pneumococcus being the name of
the special germ which causes pneumonia.
The vaccine was tried on thirty-four of
these unpromising patients, of whom six
died, a percentage of 17.7. Then It was'
tried tn forty-nine cases of ordinary pneu
monia, with only two death. In the
series of forty-nine ordinary cases 16 per
cent came to a crisis In three days. The
crisis Is reached usually In nine days.
The total death for the aeries of eighty,
three case treated with the vaccine In
jection numbered eight, or 9.7 per cent.
Every physician at once will realise that
these results are extraordinary. Further
experimentation, therefore, will be fol
lowed with deep and watchful interest.
Acute pneumonia often defies the best
services of modern medical science, and
if a vaccine has been produced which re
duces its virility so marvelously aa these
reported cases from Boston would indi
cate, the great art of medicine has taken
another tremendously long stride. St.
