NV YORK, Feb. 2L-Bachelors have

I,ris and ianitors are conspiring 10 make

.,rfortable spots on EARTH Things are so
s--snged now that a man can have allah

bal or a speech down the tube.
Let him, for example, take suite in any

lily speaking, what does he not get? For
q ia easier to mention the things omitted,

Tvs him TO his door, a touch upon a but
tc5 limits his rooms. His parlor is busted
INTO state OF apple pie order fit to delight
tbe soul of any woman and to lull to repose
the blase breast of the most fastidious man.
Chairs are all arranged as they should be-
NOT as they were when dear Jack left them
after the little game last night-cigar ashes
are swept up and cigarette debris gone. All
IA spick span and lovely.
In the sleeping room where Jack lays his
tired form to rest peaceful neatness reigns.
Brushes are put away, toilet articles nicely
arranged. combs hidden, night shirt secreted
and no trousers visible. All is as peaceful
and orderly as if the Puritan maiden Pris-
ella had her abode there. A peculiar
hush and lull and quietude reigns over
this abode, for are not ali things planned

not ask for rest here's The bed is made
into state of rounded springy softness,
minus pillow shams to perplex the weary
and ruf1ed sheets to tickle ones chin at I'M
expected hours of thu night. The comfort

nicely tucked in at the foot and thrown
backward over the footboard ready to be
invited at a jerks notice to come

A table stands near with a lamp
upon it and the poor boy can Guilt

WEAKNESS of sitting up to read. On a hook
near the head of the bel hangs an elder
down bath robe, all striped in blue. pink
and scarleU-just the thing to jump into for
a trip to the porcelain tub which is await
ing the morning eblutions in the adjoining
bath room. Here there is an abundance of
great towels aud plenty of good soap and
every accessory that petted bachelorhood
can demand
"How do you manage to wake up when
your room is SO absolutely comfortable?n
was asked gay young bachelor. do you
not frequently oversleep the limits of bust

mo, never" responded he gaily, ''for this
is the way manage. The janitress wakes
me with that electric bell you see near the
head of my bed. And [ have given her the
straight tip to ring until l answer. And
now comes in the funny part of it. She
rings the electric bell from her own
apartments and she keeps on ringing till
answer ON the other bell. That you see, is
at the foot of the bed, so that | have to get
out of bed and walk over there to ring it.
That gets me up, and don't go back again."
Quite a scheme, is it notl
When the stormy winds do blow a man
appears from some unknown region and
kindles glowing fire upon the hearth in
the parlor.
1t is pity that great artists in any pro-
fesslon should permit themselves to become
the victim of every day passions such as
rule the breasts of ordinary mortals. One
little expects to find that the fair, talented
creature, whom all the town fiocks to see
nightly, is consumed by the same common
place emotions that hold sway in ones own
heart
Yet there is Carmencita! The press lauds
her to the skies aud by the column as a
wonderful da lseuse and contortioniSt Men
sit nightly through lot of bad jokes for the
pleasure of being brought under the maei-
cal spell Of a fling of her lace petticoats.
She is advertised Gd 1tdusean1. Flowers
fall at her feet--a bloom for each pirouette-
and yet-and yet-and yet she is not happy.
She does not feel restfully sure of her
plaudlts. And SO jealous is she and SO fear-
full that her popularity will wane that she
becomes frantic if one encore is not deafen-
ng in its din.
few nights ago she came almost angrily
back to the first encore and spunkily
refused a second with flash of her black
eyes ana nasty sentence or TWO in Spanish.
And 1t wes all because the audience per-
mltoed few seconds to elapse ere they
began their wearisome hand clapping,
showing 1t was promised that the beautiful
Carmencita should resppear.
