cone of us wanted to call our flat
c.onford. but others objected strenu-
ously to the title. They said that
rronfcrd was the abode of lot of old
.ids OF course, no one had meant to
intimate that we were other than the
most np-to-date, approved sort of bach
o,or girls. Only Crawford was place
inbabted solely by women. So is Our
Flat.
On one occasion a man had ben sug-
oosted as a lodger, and you should
hava heard the outcry. A man lodger
in Our Flat. Alas for the delightful
;nformality ef breakfasts in dressing
sacoues and pigtaiIs! However, the
business woman turned up before the
ueel1 was out, and Our Flat is still eX-
cusively feminine and the only bach
e1or girl establishment of its kind.
Not that we gine that ours is The
only flat occupied solely by women.
co-operative flat keeping has been
tried by women scores Of times, and
oh the tales of woe Of these who have
made the attempts! BY this time It
has become a we'll known saying THAI
no matter how good friends a number
of women may be, let them attempt to
live together in fla. and they will be
sworn enemies before month is over.
Friendliness increases.
That saying, however, We have dis
proved. Three of us have been to-
gether over three years. and the other
three joined our circle ever four
months ago. Andl we seem to all
grow better friends every day. Ycu
see now that Our Flat is unique of its
kind. At least, if there is another cen
Quoted like it, none Or US, nor any c1e
we know, has heard of it.
The real secret OF our success is
that while We live together We each
live separately There is nc' attempt
at cooperative Housekeeping in Our
Flat-nc parlor or dining room and no
maid In fact, it isn't "our' flat at all,
though we call it so. 1t beleags to the
artist. She says that when she took 1t
her only idea was to get a good sized
studio without paying rent. She pr.
cured corner apartment, with a front
room facing north for herself. and
rooms facing east all along the side.
which she purposed to let. But un-
furnished rooms were not SC easily dis
passed. of as she had imagined, and
when two whole weeks had passed
without bringing her a single ledger
she sat down and did some hard think
ing.
The artist had had a long expert
ence of living in New York boarding
houses and furnished rooms as stu
dent, and the flat was to bring her all
those little comforts and conveniences
she had longed for in vain ever since
She left nome. 1t was to bring the
independence of a studio, and in addi-
ton there was the comfort of a bath
and plenty of hot water, which few but
high priced studios possess. But the
little kitchen at the end of the hall
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1904-03-13

meant more than this. 1t represent
ed a touch Of hcne life, place in
which to get breakfast = bite Of
luncheon; the convenience CT being
able to press out neckWeac or hand
kerchiefs, or do little washing if one
should wish.
From the first she had planned to
ask references of her dodgers, and
then to let them enjoy the independ-
ence she herself wished. But the
kitchen she had thought of as her own.
She decided that they should share
it also, with all the comfort a kitchen
must mean to any woman.
