Washington, Jan. 29.-The STATE de-

failure of negotiations looking to the
release of Miss Stone to the newspa-

her release have completely miscar-

ed, it is stated, by the finger of the
press, have appeared near the scene

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-(Special)-
Fasting Is the new fad III California. the
land of plenty" Those who have tried
it claim that total abstinence from food
is the cure all of disease.
Thomas Morrin, chief engineer in the
big Mills Building, has just completed a
fast of forty days for dyspepsia.
Other authentic cases are: Ambrose
Taylor, of Rialto. tasted twenty-three
days for rheumatism; Mrs. Judith Samp-
son, of Penrym, seventeen days for dys-
pepsia; James d. Wren. of Martinez,
tweHty-three days for stomach trouble
and Cora Brown, of Redwood, twenty
seven days for acute nervousness.
How many more people have taken up
this fasting fad is past finding out, for
oddly enough in nearly every instance,
the fasters are loath TO speak of their ex-
periences.
Mr. Morrin, who tasted forty days. is
a large framed man of middle life. In
perfect health he would weigh about 1870
pounds, but stomach troubles reduced him
about fifteen pounds. He tried all sorts
of medicines and the advice of all kinds
Of physicians without relief.

type distinctive to Washington-an
yet, indeed, it is both true and appro-
pirate that our American girl should be
at home in our Capital City.
When doctors disagree who shall de-
eide? Our friends and our artists are
at variance. Perhaps, in the end, we
shall each have to say for himself just
what our typical Washington girl is like.
And none of US will go far wrong in our
final decisions, no matter how diverse
they may be. For the typical Washington
girl cannot be inattractive as long as she
is chosen from the modern American girls
who make our society here. So let our
friend from the North, in his broad
shouldered jacket and with his switch of
a cane, tell us Of the fair and naughty
lily-and let him stand firm in his ad-
miration for her.
Let our friend from the South, in frock-
coat and slouch hat, still be loyal to his
soft-voiced queen. Let our painters look
with different eyes on the beauties of
those fair Washngtonians who mount the
odel-throne. We all will still be sure
that we c. and possibly we alone (2
have really found her-our typical WASH
ington girl.

At last he was reduced to 4 condition
where he couldn't take medicine. and
only the lightest of food fluids would re-
main on his stomach. In this extremity
he went to DR.. Hitler and got mis- pre-

ut was case of must he said in
narrating his experience. THE first day
got very hungry, but all 1 allowed myself
was a little water. Come to think of it. l
drank great deal of water during the
forty days. The second day my hunger in
creased. On the third day it was strong
est. After that it began TO decrease. At
the end of five days fasting l didn't feel
violent hunger any longer. l seemed to
get out of the eating habit.
"On the morning of the eleventh day l
attempted the only break 1 made in the
forty days fast. l tried to eat some
breakfast, but 1 couldn't relish it. All
could manage to swallow was part of one
small baked potato and a bit of toast
not four ounces In all.
THAT was the only solid food that
passed my lips in the whole forty days

water. Once l tried to use sauterne wine.

work will show US how che appears from
the women artists point of view.
One sketch is pen and ink copy of one
of those exquisitely delicate red pencil
drawings by Miss Mathilde Mueden, which
have always attracted so much favorable
attention when shown at the various eX-
hibitions here. Miss Mueden stands in
the front rank of our portrait artists, and
her work is always prominent in the eX-
hibtions. her latest success being her
large portrait study called "Juanita,"
which was shown at the sixth annual Of
the Water Color Club.
Miss Mueden works in all OF the usual
mediums; in fact, just at present is en-
gagged in drawing on stone for reproduc-
tion, but her best work is done in pastel
or red pencil. The Washington girl, as
shown in her sketch, is a delicate and
aristocratic young lady we would gladly
consider typical.
Miss Burdette's Idea.
Those of us who count Washington our
home would feel fattered If Miss Hattie
Burdette, another of the well-known
by copy of one OF her charcoal studies,
lad sketched herself as a typical Wash
ington girl. Miss Burdette is at her best
in the designing of decorative heads, al
though her studies of child life, recently
exhibited, show remarkable sympathy
and ability as painter of children. Her
charming personality, however, makes it
hnr or ha vic at nd IN civ
her work the attention and admiration it
unquestionably deserves. The sketch
which we reproduce is the portrait of a
friend and is another very attractive type
of our Washington girl.
Miss ThOmpsOn's Jolly Girl.
Miss Juliet Thompson, whose name is,
of course, well known to all who have been
interested in art matters here and who
has just returned from study abroad, has
given us still another typical Washington
girl-onc we all know and admire A
girl who can, on occasion, be the blase
society miss, but more often is the sensi-
BILE Jolly girl we like to meet at tea or
to dance with-the girl with sense of
humor and an automobile.
Miss BancrOft's American.
The fourth sketch is by Miss Jessica
Bancroft, young artist of considerable
ability, who has but recently come to
Washington after study IN New York.
Her sketch Of q typical Washington girl

ular conception Of our American girl than
