One of the best and best known of the East Side workers among the poor called at our lofty" little apartments yesterday. Is that what I should call our delightful third floor, overlooking a group of little gardens giving that rarest thing in New York-a breathing place for our lungs, a joyance for our eyes? First, she was a charming woman. Scotch-Irish she Is with the curled gold locks of Scotland and the wit of Ireland. and the cosmopolitan culture of a woman of the world. Next she Is going to take me to all of her classes and schools and missions. A thing I have wished to do ever since I came to New York
 Mind you." I said, q am no reform CT. l am no worker for the poor. 1 don't hope to push the wheels of prog ress. I am just plain person with craving to see, to learn, to know"
 'I sympathize. realize. know. I approve your desire. I will take you with pleasure"
 So behold me launched on number less voyages of discovery anon!
 One may as well confess. Honest confession never brings loss. I have learned by often doing the cOnfessing I cannot preach. I never teach, wit tingly. I cannot improve-othcrs l can only picture them. And I don't know when I am to be moved to do that.
 It was natural we should speak of the difference of Southern charity workers and Northern What strikes me most" I said. lis this: With us the worker in any good cause not only makes no money from the cause, but gives all and more than he or she can spare to the cause"
 Very true" said my dear visitor. T know that. We all have known it."
 I'm awfully glad you do know it," said; flor 1t is really a thing worth knowing. And here" said I. Ito my amazement everybody connected with cause seems to make something out of it."
 'Very true" said my visitor They do. That is the difference" It is perfectly surprising to me how the better informed people know us. They really know our traits, characteristics. foibles, virtues. vices better than we know ourselves.
 They love us much. They seem to think we have nothing to do but to make bright bon-mots and gay repartee all day long.
 We are aufully tempted to do 1t.
 But such a waste of time. When all the other folks here arc coining money and we are only coining phrases-that don't pay, We were speaking of work for a Southern girl whom we both knew and loved.
 "'Fhe salary" said the visitor, was so small that I did not bespeak 1t for it."

MAGAZINE NOTES.
The Mnr nsmnrt set."

Gelett Burgess's novelette,, which opens the May number of The Smart Set, will surprise his admirers. for in 'The Visionists" he has entered an en- tirely new field and produced a story which is not only timely but powerful and absorbingly interesting. He has gone to London for the locale of this tale. The heroine Is a young girl who. through force of circumstances, be- comes q member of society of social ists who call themselves "visionists." Her adventures are wonderfully Cxcit- ing and the tragic denouement Is un- foreseen. This novelette, will win new laurels for Mir. Burgess.
 Of the fourteen short stories in this number, it is not too much to say that each ~one stands out as an individual example of fine and clever writing James Huneker contributes "A Mock Sum-" one of his most subtle pieces of

summate simplicity of touch called down upon him the thunderings of the critics and the condemnation of the steady and ox-like conventional paint CTS. The supercilious criticism cast at him in those days furnishes amusing reading providing one can keep bis temper. Hundreds of painters today use the technique which Constable in vented"
 The painters of the Hudson River School were sincere and honest in their work and lovabie in their lives, but the art they produced Is evanescent, Yet they were fortunately men of tall ent and they made admirable pictures, weak often, never of massive dignity, rarely well drawn. revealing utter ig- norance of the use of color for the sake of color combinations and avoiding figures totally, except as slight indica- tions of the presence of humanity in their landscapes It was word paint ing, not art for the sake of being artis- tic. Those who had much talent paint ed charming pictures, but they painted, naturally enough, exactly what the public was willing to purchase, and that was scenery. Americans knew little about art in those days"
 "All Meissonier's landscapes are cata- Iogues of articles which nature pro- vided for the light of heaven to shine on. There is no heaven light in any landscape by this technician. JIst here is the limitation in his art. It had no soul, no large sense of the all- pervading oneness of nature. The triumph of Edouard Manet was the measure of Meissonier's failure. The

 'To Manet the rules of painting were as smoke in the nostrils. There could be no rules for the living expression of the impression which nature made upon him. Any one who reads Emerson's lectures will see how strongly that great writer felt in the same way. Emerson wrote as Manet talked. It is possible that Rossetti felt in the same way; but he could not use his feeling to advantage. Maner was a born painter; Rossetti born poet, liter ary not a painter man. Manet learned his technique at once; Rosetti never learned his at all. Manet's technique was not that taught in the schools, but if was a firm, bold manner of laying his paint. not a weak and bedraggled manner like that of the English Italian. Most of all. Manet saw the values in nature with astonishing &C., curacy. Rosettl never imagined that there were any values as he strug- yIed to represent every unimportant minute detail in the bushes, and paint e5 the cannon on far-off fortress so that the big gun sat on the ear of the unfortunate saint in the immediate Foreground. All Manet's cannon went hack where they belonged and tor rnanted no saints, however closely they happened to be juxtaposed on the can- vas"

 The publication day of the first num- ber of Tales, originally fixed for the 22nd of this month, has been lhanged to the goth of May. The postponement has been unavoidable. owing to the enormous number Of manuscripts that had to he read. The material. coming as 1t did from all parts of the world, accumulated beyond all expectations; and as the publishers are anxious 10 give the magazine as representative character as possible, the change of date will no doubt, prove to the ad- vantage of its readers. The publish CTS announce that the first issue will contain stories from the French, Ger man, Italian, Scandinavian, Russian and Spanish, as well as an American contribution. Four of the stories from the French, Italian, German and Spanish-are written by the sour rep resentative women writers of Europe; while the serial Is from the pen of the ablest of the younger Frenchmen and was crowned" by the French Acad- emy.

Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, since her return from Europe last November, has been living in exclusion at the Tavern of Tamalpais, Mount Tamalpais, Cal, engaged in writing a novellette for The Smart Set Magazine. The story will be entitled The Travelling Thirds" and deals with the adventures of party of Americans and an English captain who travel third-class through Spain so that they may come in closer contact with the people. In order to get personal impressions and the prop CT local color for this story, the au- thor herself recently toured Spain in third-class compartments and says that she enjoyed the experience im- mensely.
 From Mount Tamalpais Mrs. Ather- ton has just arrived in New York, where she will spend a fortnight put ting the finishing touches to her nov elette, and then she will sail for Mu- mich, where she resided for a time, and where she has decided to make Ter permanent home.

The Reader Magazine.

The work of Howard Chandler Chris ty, the artist, so far as the periodical press is concerned, will hereafter fp- pear only in The Reader Magazine, hn arrangement to this effect having late ly been completed. This announces ment will be received with delight by The Readers readers, as will the fur ther announcement that an early num- Der of the magazine will contain sev- eral Christy drawings in colors. In view of MT. Christy's popularity and the demand among publishers for his work, the fact that The Reader Maga- zine has secured the exclusive rights to his services once more illustrates the enterprise of that publica ton, which Is now recognized as the most successful high-grade magazine estab- lished in many years.

These lines were mysteries to me at first, they moved on a system of round and round pulleys, hauled In by lengths to the fire escapes and hung with garments by clothes pins, other lengths hauled up and filled. Before 10 o'clock on Monday the most intimate garments of the family hang in view of forty other families facing, or
 rather backing on the tiny asphalt area.
 The maids appear by times on the fire escapes all up and down the build ings with arms full of clothes, and bag of clothespins hung on one elbow.
