doctors orders for these delicacies Instead of
waiting for doctors orders many inmates re-
ceived daily allowance of brandy, while guardians
both male and female attended regularly 'The Horn
of Plenty" for the purpose of absorbing certain
amount of moist goods paid for by the public
According to official figures, the money spent on
beer for paupers in London each year is $eoo,ooo
while the tobacco and snuff bill into almost
equal amount.
Not only Poplar and West Ham, but many other
sections of London, show remarkable examples of
pauper Injuries. Last year there was erected at
Hammersmith pauper palace, costing $I,2oo,ooo
This building which is of the most modern design,
would compare favorably with many frst-class hotels
on both sides of the Atlantic. The sum expended
each man averaged for shelter alone $780, which,
according to official figures, is just ten times the
capital per head which is spent by builders in
sheltering the class from which these paupers come
All these vast expenditures have to come from
the pockets of the very poor in the form of Poor
Rate Taxation'-a certain sum levied each year
on every householder in London In poor sections
of the metropolis, such as West Ham and Poplar,
where only the lowest orders OF the working classes
dwell poor rates fall most heavily What has
aroused the Indignation of all sections of the COM
the people inhahiting the workhouses have been
better housed and more sumptuously fed than the
people who have been supporting them.
In the Poplar workhouse inmates supplied
with the best butter, costing 81 cents per pound
Very good butter is bought anywhere in London
for "a cents per pound When it is considered that
327o4 pounds of the best butter, costing $Io,36 528
per year, were used in the Poplar workhouse, the
item is significant
On a line with the butter was the tea supplied
this particular workhouse. 1t of far better
quality than that furnished the House of Commons
and used by Members of Parliament. The House
of Commons has been said to be the finest club in
Europe and yet it surpassed in many respects
by the Poplar wor1house House of Commons tea
only to 36 cents per pound, while that
tracted for in large quantities to be supplied to the
Poplar poorhouse was So cents per pound.
Another of the strange items consisted of, gilt
edged note books for Poplar guardians. These
diaries were bought the of $40 for eighty
books or so cents apiece. 1t came out in evidence
that tender for ninety of these books at SIo had
been deliberately rejected; though the books
offered the lower. figure of just good

ONDON, Aug 4-"Spendd paupers" is a
term that has acquired new significance in
Il this country of late. Heretofore it has been
used to describe certain hnanciers, who, though
nominally bankrupt still manage to reside in sunip
tuous mansions, maintain country seats and keep
motor cars. At present, however, the designation
Of Splendid paupers" applies most directly TO the
inmates OF various London poorhouses, which, as
an official investigation has just proved, run on
scale OF magnihcence which would not disgrace
the new Ritz Hotel, the Carlton any other of
the swsgger hostelries of the metropolis.
AS matter OF fact, the genuine hotels
conducted on the scale of expenditure and waste
that has characterized many London warehouses"
they would have gone into bankruptcy long ago, for
instead Of accepting the lowest tenders for supplies
the managers of the Poplar, West Ham and other
homes Of the destitute have paid the highest
prices possible and supplied only the best of every
thing 10 the stramps who patronized these poor
mans paradises
Americans familiar with the works of Charles
Dickens generally imagine the English "poorhouse"
Hs Of those grinding institutions, rather than
enter which the poor would almost prefer to
In reality, there is keen competition for admission
TO some Of the poorhouses of London and the
alleged unemployed" have been known to refuse
well-paying jobs rather than lose their opportunity
Of experiencing the rest and good cheer afforded
them by certain of the London castles of Incidence
One of the poorest quarters of the metropolis is
West Ham, and here the cry of the unemployed
has been loudest Yet it in the West Ham
poorhouse that during last year 4638 fine fowls, >"
costing over a dollar each were supplied to the
inmates who in their own homes would
taste chicken from years end another
It was to this poorhouse, also, that gilt-edged
note paper OF the finest quality supplied, and
even the oiled sheets employed for copying cor
resPondence which cost S. per dozen.
In the Wandsworth workhouse, bridge" has for
some time been popular among the inmates, though

money to play at all, and how it happens that gam

by the way, is the Right Hon. John Burns.
It found that in the Poplar 'workhouse,
beer and other stimulants such expensive brandy,
have been supplied to inmates who were not on
the sick list. The wine cellar OF this workhouse
has been dubbed by the inmates themselves, The
Horn of Plenty" 1t was here that members of the
board Of guardians-the directors of the poor
house-were wont to assemble and regae them

Letters Lay Bare aRomance in the Life
ofHenric lbsen the Late Dramatist

Il have received your dear letter with thousand
thanks, and read it again and again Here I sit

A letter written some months later might be
entitled "Ibsen's Remuneration 1t seems to have
occurred to him that Emilie's nfatuation for an
old man was not altogether good thing for the
girl In this letter he writes:
"A long. very long while have allowed your

obtained by moistening the crumbs of bread more
plastic than clay, more transparent than porcelain
and yet without the brittlenesS of either practically
unbreakable and capable of assuming alike the
richest, intensest and most delicate of hues. Sueh
is the discovery of Mile Suzanne Meyer, young
Alsatian lady living in Paris
1t in 1902 that Mile Meyer began her life
work Most Of US have at one time or another
aken piece of crumb and worked it between our
angers abstractedly making pellets OF it even
little figures, but suspccting the possibilities
lurking within the humble paste. Mile Meyer did
20. too But one day she was led to attempt TO
initiate flower that lay on the table, using her
bread as modelling clay, and noistenng it in order
to make it more plastic. This sounds very simple
and yet in this almost childish pastime lay the
germ OF her astonishing creations, which have ex-
cited such widespread admiration at the Salon this
year. The artistic craving must have been very
strong within her, for she had studied draw
ing painting or modelling It is, indeed, to this
fact that she in all probability owes her success
today
The artist grew more and more interested as she
gradually grew more skillful The long slender
fingers became more sensitive and could create the
various parts of the hower-seeds, stamina pistils
petals and stalk-wth comparative ease
Nor IS it to be supposed that it was an easy
matter to prepare this novel substitute for clay
Only constant watchfulness and practice could teach
the exact proportion necessary to obtain the re-
quired consistency and hexibity of the panilire'
as 1t is called Finally however, all these prelimi-
nary obstacles and difficulties were overcome and
within two years after her first essay Mile Suzanne
Meyer was able to exhibit some of her wonderful
work at the Salon des Artstes Francais
The late painter, Henner. who was himself an
Alsatian was enthusiastic in his praise and Mile
Meyer treasures lovingly the letter which the aged
artist addressed to her on this occasion
The artist resumed her labors with redoubled
ardor Many tempting offers made her, es-
pecally by American visitors if she would consent
to sell her exhibits. Mile. Meyer wisely refused be-
cause her paniline not sufficiently perfected It
IS true, she had by ceaseesss experiments at last
discovered means of treating it so that it was
proof against heat, cold and moisture. This was
already an immense step forward, for her earlier
work was apt to crack, warp and shrink But this
relative perfection was not such could satisfy an
artist who took her art seriously.
Her mind was set on discovering two processes
how to intensity the color and solidity of her clay
Henner was of opinion that she would never sue
ceed III giving her panses, for instance the depth
OF color and velvey surface natural to these flowers,
and he laughingy promised her the pick of his
studio if she proved him to be mistaken Within
year, to his surprise and delight, Mile Meyer
was able to claim her prize.

~ OPENHAGEN, Aug 4-Ibsene at 6I, dour
4 and gray, in love with girl of 20.
- Thatis the conclusion which most people
will draw from the series of letters written. by the
poet to beautiful Austrian girl, which Professor
Brandes has just published in a Copenhagen journal
Of the girl herself, Emile Bardach, unfortunately,
we know very little. Her letters are not included
in the CORE spondence. Ibsen met her with her
mother in the Tyrol in the summer OF 1850. They
spent only few weeks together and they never
met again. That she must have been. altogether
charming creature to have inspired the elderly dis
illusionized Ibsen with such strong feeling for
her can we'll be imagined.
With all my heart, he says in his FIRST letter, Il
thank you, most esteemed Fraulein, for the ex-
tremey kind and friendly letter which received
the day before leaving Gossensass, and which l
have read again and again That summer resort
has worn quite a mournful look for the past week
