AN INEXPENSIVE DEN.
How a Clever Woman Planned
Comfortable Apartment.

In this day Of feminine independence
every woman. according to the New York
Herald, has a right to have den of her
own. Happily tor US the time when the
luxury of repose and retirement was held
exclusively by men is past and gone.
Women to-day have learned the value of a
few hours absolute repoSe and quiet, and
rightly enough they claim sanctums into
which no outsider may come without per-
mission or invitation. Even in flats such
rooms are often set apart. and the wisdom
Of so doing is daily attested by all who
have seen the comfort that grows out Of
the fact. One woman who is more clever
than wealthy has real "love of a room" :"
which contains all the essentials of leisure,
yet is not more than 9 feet square. Its
one original recommendation was the
bright light that entered its single window.

but econ omical as well, Ii serves as an
excellent model of what can be done in a
simple way.

paper, showing an indistinct pattern in
gold, which relieves its sameness without
being pronounced. Above the gilt picture

SHE LOVES DOLLS.
An Old Beggar's Peculiar
Hobby.
ALL DRESSED IN SILK.
Strange History of a Woman Who
Now Asks Aims From People
in the Street.
DRESSED IN SILK.

Poor old Hester. That is what an old
beggar woman. who almost daily makes
an alms-seeking tour up and down Bush
street, is called by the people who know
and are in the habit of assisting her.
Hester is the only name she has. at least
that is wha! she says. but people who
know her history tell different story.
Few have ever heard the sad tale. and
more romantic narrative is seldom heard.
The poor creature W ho walks up and down
the streets asking aims was once looked
upon as one of the handsomest women In
Paris.
Her whole appearance and actions do
not indicate that sne has ever felt any re-
flung influence. If her requests are not
granted she will very likely hurl volley
Of profanity, worthy of a fish woman. at
the one who aroused her anger. She will
answer no questions about hersel!. even
though given large coin. A pleasant
smile is all she gives in return tor aims.
Ask her where she lives and she Will q OF
tell, but follow her and her place OF resi-
dence can be discovered In a tumble-down
roOkery on Harrison street. near First
Hester is a strange woman on the streets,
but at home she is stranger. Even her
home is strange, although most poverty
stricken place.
The room is a large one and in the last
stages of decay, with plaster falling from
