course no artist can hope to reproduce the

of the Syrian atmosphere, but It would be

Down in a rear basement ROOM which is
little better than a cellar, at 92S E street
northwest, is a venerable woman suffering
for the bare necessities of life. She could
hear the gay laughter of the happy holiday
crowds as they scurried along on the street
overhead last night, while she was in need
of the necessaries of life. From an old stove
in the of the single apartment she oc-
cupies as a bed room, dining room and
kitchen came a mere suggestion of heat.
She had gathered a few fragments of wood
from the alley in the rear, and perhaps
few cnders. The furniture in the place, II
it could be called furniture, consisted OF
three-legged, bottomless chair, a sort of
table readily made from dry goods box
and a shelf made from boxes that had been
given her.
