LIVING IN CITIES.
The Apartment House Is Breaking Up
American Homes.

The Apartment House Is Breaking Up
American Homes.
nave no mind, to harrow up the
minds of my readers with any explica-
ton of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance Of simple but COM
Portable existence for her family. AS for
herself, an existence at all seems a
struggle which at times she would glad
ly give over. One might define hero
inc as the average American woman
who does her own housekeeping. But
some hint of the unnatural and unhappy
state of affairs existing at present may
be deduced from the consideration of
two economic facts.
First, woman is by nature a home
founder and a homemaker. This is not
intended as an assertion of personal be-
lief, but as statement of scientific fact.
1t was woman-nOt man-whO opened
the industrial world. It was woman
who made the first rude dwellings and
dressed skins and wove textiles for
clothing. It was woman and not man
who made the first fire and the first
utensils for cooking and the first rude
tools for industrial ends. All her activi-
ties clustered about the hearth and min
istered to the home If the woman and
the work had not reacted upon each 9th
er SO that today women should be by
nature homemakers and home lovers,
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in the working of heredity and
Of natural selection.
And yet-here is my second fact-the
enormous piles of stone and brick rapid
ly filling the choice plots Of ground in
our large cities and shutting out the
light of heaven with their gabled tops
are mute if not magnificent witnesses to
the fact that the investment of capital
is all against the perpetuation Of the
separate home. The shrewd modern in
weston is willing to put hundreds of
thousands against hundreds Of dollars
that (for his lifetime at least) women
are going to prefer the ease of the apart
ment hotel to the separate house with
its privacy, it's own table, and-alas-
it's own service. - Helen Watterson
Moody in Scribner's.

NUNS NIMBLE FINGERS,
Bridal Clothing and Baby Linen Are Fash
Toned by These Recluses.

Brtdal Clothtng and Baby Linen Are Fash
Toned by These Recluses.
Women who calculate and economize
and who know q we'll sewed garment
when they see it are in the habit of
hunting out the nuns of large cities and
getting their underclothing made. The
odd hours at the cloister are fittingly
and we'll filed turning out the fine and
dainty lingerie that nuns alone seem to
know how to produce.
The long hours, the quiet life there
, and the pains required all help to bring
about the class of work that is of so
much better grade than can be found
in stores, even in New York, that it has
become quite an industry for the low
voiced, sweet faced sisters to be the
manufacturers of vast quantities of
bridal clothing and baby linen, to say
nothing Of handkerchiefs ard much
close and wonderful embroidery on
white goods.
Table linen, sheets and pillowcases,
with the monograms of the owners, are
a speciality of the sisterhood, and they
make up their own designs as we'll as
their own system of application. That
is one reason they have been growing in
favor among good housewives who ap-
preciate the necessity for fine linen and
difficulty of getting person to make it
to suit them.
The ready made stuff that is turned
out by large houses is not to be men
toned in the same breath with the nun
merry underclothing. for there you are
fitted if you care to be, the sewing is
irreproachable and the finish all that
the most critical could require. The cut
is also something that makes the SIS
ters' work desirable.
1t is not generally known outside of
swelidom that the nuns make these
things, for if it were they would be too
crowded with orders maybe to keep up
to the demand made by the fashionable
and wealthy connoisseur. Nightgowns,
petticoats and skirts are to be found in
the convent ready to be put on at once
if one is tourist or has but little time
to spare, but if measures can be taken
satisfactory and perfect results can be
obtained by these dark robed creatures,
who never step outside of their four
walls and who give their earnings to

THE SIAMESE GIRL.

Her Garments Are Scanty, and She Is an
Inveterate Smoker.
From the moment of her birth ST.
amese girl is treated with less consider
alton than boy, For several years aft
er quitting the realms of "babyl land"
she dresses very slightly indeed q refer
more particularly to the lower classes,
though the rule applies more or less
generality. Next she adopts the sarong,
or waist cloth, and on top of this is
placed bright colored scarf of consid-
cradle length and breadth, which is Gus
tomarily crossed and recrossed over the
breast and under the arms. These two
garments constitute the whole of a ST.
amese girls wearing apparel unless she
chance to wear scanty vest of linen
Rings and bracelets are inevitable, pro-
vided she be of class enough to afford
them, and in a few cases the costume is
finished off with fimsy pair of slip
pers, into which the stockingless feet
are thrust.
The average Siamese girl is an invet-
crate smoker of cigarettes from very
tender age. When quite baby, too
she, in common with the rest of the
population, Is taught to chew the leaf
and nut of the betel palm-at least
she does not require to be "taught" this
unlovely but (if we may believe what
we see) fascinating pastime. Since,
however, she knows full we'll that she
will be esteemed passee, not to say an
cient, at the age of 80 she concentrates
the whole of her intellect upon the seri-
GUS business of either entering the pal
ace or getting married. But if it be the
latter, the marriage in Siamese middle
and upper class life is the most elabo-
rate function that an English girl could
imagine. The negotiation-what we
should term the "courting"- gener-
ally conducted in the first instance
through an old beldame. It is this old
woman's business to discover among
other things whether the stars in their
courses" are propitious toward the hap
py event and whether the respective
birthdays of the bride and bridegroom
fall suitably to the date fixed for their
union, for in all such matters the ST.
amese would appear to be even more SUI
perstitious than their Buddhist belief
might reasonably be expected to make

Most Precious Wounds.

Two hands have haunted me today
Two hands Of slender shape
All crushed and torn, as in the press
Is bruised the purple grape.
At work, at meals, at prayer or play
Those mangled palms see,
And plaintive voice keeps whispering.
Those hands are pierced for thee!
For me, sweet Lord, for me?

These hands were pierced for theel"
Through toll and danger pressing on,
As through fiery flood,
Two slender feet beside my own
Mark every step with blood:
The swollen veins, SO rent with nails,
1t breaks my heart to see,
While the same sad voice cries out afresh,
"These feet were pierced for theel"
For me, dear Christ, for met
"Yes, even so, rebellious flesh,
These feet were pierced for thee!"
As on they journey to the close,
These wounded feet and mine,
Distincter still the vision grows
And more and more divine,
For in my guides wide open side
The riven heart see,
And the tender voice sobs like balm:
"This heart was pierced for theei"
For me. great God, for mef
Yes, enter in, my love, my lamb.

IN CATHOLIC SPAIN.

How Priests Garry the Blessed Sacrament
to the Sick.
It was rainy evening in the streets
of Madrid, and it was already dark.
We had taken refuge, like others, in a
street car. All at once there was COM
motion among the passengers. They
rose, turned and looked in one direc.
ton. The car stopped-such an occur
renee as would suggest to an American
mind the idea of an accident. But the
men had taken off their hats; a bell
was ringing, a little, tinkling bell ;
lights were passing by, the lights of
torchbearers. 1t was the blessed sacra-
ment, carried to the sick by priest
He himself was conveyed through the
rain in carriage.
If royalty met the priest with the
blessed sacrament, the king or queen
would descend and, resigning the car
riage to him, would bear him company
on foot to the bedside of the sick per-
son. If he passed by soldiers quarters,
the trumpet would sound, the guard
salute and two soldiers file out under
arms as an escort, and after the minis
tration return with him to his parish
church. On the feast of Corpus Christi
it is the general army regulation that
the Regiments line the streets, and as
the celebrating priest reaches the colors
of each detachment the standard bearer
throws the flag upon the ground before
the celebrant, who then, standing upon
the colors, turns and blesses the regi-
ment with the sacred host and passes
on to do the same to the next regiment
in the same form. American Catholic
