himself one of the component members of the house
hold.
The young man had been devoting himself to the
study flaw at various universities and in various
countries, and now, while preparing to take his de-
gree, had sought the seclusion of home and his own
little attic chamber. His corpus juris civil was fas-
cinating beyond doubt; but each time the student
raised his head, he could not avoid seeing at the
opposite window, half hidden behind herfower pots,
a charming girl scarce budded into womanhood.
Her fingers " ere busy with needle and thread, but
that did not prevent her eyes from casting swift, coy
glances across the way.
The owner of that pair of eyes was Marks young
est daughter, Jessica.
The month was August: the air was hot and the
sitting. breath Of summer invaded the 'sStreet of
Roses Windows could not be closed, and
through the silent, lustrous air Jessica could note
the clear.cut face, perhaps a shade too pale, bent
gravely over the ponderous tones; while Barach was
made glad by the sight OF the pure white throat be-
hind the flower pots, the blonde braids, and little re
trousse nose, as the girl stopped over the silks and
velvets on her lap.
Jessica was rarely alone in her little chamber; she
had, for companion and intimate friend, her white
cat Mimi, who purred by her side or slept on the
window seat while she sewed.
One evening, during a promenade on the roof, by
the light of the moon, Minis attention was attracted
by two spouts, or rather two g~argoyles in the shape
OF dragons heads, projecting from her roof to the
one on the opposite side of the way. These dragons
appeared to be staring ~intently in each others eyes.
Mimi, very wisely concluding that this aerial bridge
was placed there for the sole dedication of night
ramblers and other adventurous spirits like herself,
resolved upon taking immediate advantage of the
and thus adding a zest to her tour of
Investigation. A graceful feline bound, and Mimi
had crossed the Rubicon! So far, so good. She now
proceeded boldly to a certain window where a GER
tain young student was star-gazing. And this same
young student without claiming to be a great as
tronomer, was silently seeing his way clear toward
the discovery of a star which, one Of these days, he
hoped to know more intimately.

sidewalks of the Avenue.
The work of dismantling the Court Of

continued until the many columns and en-
blem standards have been removed. The
gorgeous floats which appeared in the pa
rade Thursday are being taken apart by

nent parts to Philadelphia.

MR.. MosER APPOINTED.

Chosen Instructor of Water Color in
the COrcornn Art school.
Mr.. James Henry Moser has been ap-
pointed instructo, OF water color in the
Corcoran Art School and will take charge
of the water color class- next winter.
Under the dictatorship OF Prof. Andrews
the Corcoran Art School has made re-
markable progress and is today one of the
most successful schools in America. The
water color class was originated and sue
cessfully carried on by Miss Minnegerode
until her marriage to Prof. Andrews, since
which time the class has made steady
progress under the direction OF Miss Cook
and Miss Henson, former pupils of the
school.
The water color class has grown so large
and important that it became desirable to
place its management in abler professional
hands. No better selection could have
been made. Mr.. Moser is widely known
for his skill and versatility in this me-
dunn. His work is as we'll and favorabIy
known in New York as it is here. He is a
member of the American Water Color So
ciety, president Of the Washington Water
Color Club, and secretary of the Society
of Washington Artists. an enthusiastic
worker and an optimist. Mr.. Moser will
popularize this class and do much toward
increasing local interest in this delightful
art.

kcrnnn',;-"Monte Carlo Girls"

While the end OF the season draws near
er every day, there are still few burlesque
attractions which have not visited Wash
ington this season. THE Monte Carlo
Girls is one of these. and from long
list of press concentrations 1t is learned
that the young ladies have been quite sue
cessful in pleasing their numerous mascu-
line admirers. The clientele of Kernan's
is desirous OF this sensation, and the an
nouncement that Manager Taylor carries
veritable Queen Of Burlesque' will call
into play the critical discernment of the
Lyceum clientele. The show" opens with
satire ON the navy and closes with an
old fashioned burlesque, for lack Of a bet
ter name called "Ki-Ki." An olio of some
merit intervenes.
