in Budapest. She showed remarkable talents for
both music and painting while she was still u child.
and almost her first work in the latter line wa

many copies of paintings by the old masters. From
there she went TO Vienna. where she studied under
the best teachers In the city. and practically began
her original work. Although still young a WON

from there TO Florence, to become acquainted with
the Italian school: thence to Holland. where she
worked in Amsterdam and in The Hague. and finally
to the Mecca Of all art students Paris. After re

Many women will wonder at the account Of the

fact. however, Is established beyond doubt that AT
least six ladies Of this exalted rank are invetcrate
smokers The Empress OF Austria accounts for
from thirty 10 forty cigarettes day: the DOwaCer
Czarina, too, smokes good deal. but only In her
private apartments; Carmen sylvia. the gifted
Queen poetess OF Rumania, the Queen Regent OF
Spain, Queen AmeIie Of Portugal and Queen Marg-

One may be tempted 10 ask whether 1t is worth

matIcally when you step on a mat before II. and

yond. But whatever opinions may be entertained
on this point the fact that electrical! apparatus for
thus operating door has been invented is at least
worth recording. A noted lunchroom in Chicago
and the city market in Springfield Mass, each
have double doors equipped in this manner.
over the doorway is placed a suitable box incos-
!ng magnets and machinery. From this box
tends downward a rod. from which a horizontal
arm reaches along the door. Forces work with
In the box twist the rod and swing the door TO and

springs already coed up and trying 20 pull IL OPEN

which is wound up a drum has been released
The immediate effect OF stepping on the mat Is to

Then the springs swing the door open.N When you
step on the other mat. another electric circuit is
closed, which sets current flowing through a
small electric motor. This puts drum or spool in
motion. winds up the belt and draws the door shut
