RaIzac and Music.

The De Goncourts tell US, on the au-
thority of Theophile Gautier, that Bal
zac abhorred music" Theo did, we
know. To him is generally attributed
the saying that music was the most ex-
pensive noise of which he had cog
nizance. Balzac did not himself thor
oughly understand it, but he was deep
ly interested in it. He treated it al
most sympathetically. He got, so 1t IS
said, a learned German to help him to
deal with it deliberately, and not lit
tie pleased, it may be remembered, was
Re with the result.
Had any writer of fiction before
Balzac ever analysed any musical COM
position with half the thoroughness
with which in one of his shorter stories
Balzac analysed Robert lie Diable'
and all the method of Meyerbeer? And
Meyerbeer, it is worth noting, was in
the Paris of Balzac's day, almost the
Wagner of that place and time. He
was an innovator scarcely less dis
ussed-London Academy.

In New York city in winter, i'll the
summer in pretty country home
which her own earnings paid for, lives
Rosa Marston, a popular model among
metropolitan artists. She is well paid
for posing, but not better than are
dozens of other women models who are
poor as poverty and always will be.
Miss Marston has pony and small
carriage at her country place. Her
bank account is large and growing
one; her wardrobe some society women
would envy. She expects to buy an
island somewhere before long and have
her summer home upon it.
Rosa Marston says she was born
with the financial instinct, which shows
itself in saving money and investing it.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-08-16

She began posing when she was a
small child. When she was eight her
mother earned a living for the girl and
herself as bookkeeper. Rosa had
been posing one day fer statue of the
child st. John After the sitting was
over she went home and told her
mother not to work any more, that she,
eight year-old Rosa, would support
them both. Not so long after that the
child really was doing what she said,
her mother remaining at home and
keeping house and making beautiful
fancy garments for Rosa to wear in
her poses Miss Marston learned early
the value of a nice wardrobe. Still
she never spent all her earnings on
clothes. She declares that is the trou-
Bile with most working girls-that they
fool away their money on eXtravagant
apparel If they. would resolve to be-
gin and save a certain amount weekly
or monthly the interest on even a
small sum would soon count up. Then,
too. Miss Marston is sure working
women do not eat enough nourishing
food. She is greatly in favor of eggs
and fruit as considerable part OF
ones diet

The call
BY ANNA AWARD EAMES
Copyright. 1905. by Mcclure, Phillips & Co.

Koto had been on the wharf since
dawn. When the tug, plethoric and
important for the honor of bringing off
his prince, had scuttled hoarsely across
the channel and under the bows of the
Manchuria, mysterious, enchanting, her
red mouthed tunnels slanting to the
glistening blue, he had followed heI
with .straining eyes. When she bus
tied back with all her might, founce
Of foam at her PROV and her decks
cleaning war bulletins, an emotion
grew big within him and there was a
mist in his glance that swept the port
of Honolulu, stretching along the line
of curling swells and up the sides of
the gay green mountain.
1t had all happened in what seemed
a second of time. He had been tossing
banzais from his perch on a tier Of
sacked sugar as the tug came along
side, and his prince was transferred to
the governors shining carriage, the
music, the flag bearing school children,
the ship and his prince tingling through
his blood in happy, chilly ripples Then
a fireworks bomb had exploded under
the governors horses.
The emperor's cali for troops on the
waving war bulletins, the heartrend-
ing vision of Japan which the occasion
evoked Japan, rainbow hued, flower
scented, wan in the gloom Of desper-
ate conflict. the careworn figure of his
prince, fresh from the thick of the fight
for this embassy, upright and undaunt-
ed in the lurching victoria-fused in bis
consciousness with the smoke of the
exploding bomb.
Through his exaltation there pierced
a lightning flash. Of impelling purpose,
and he shot over the gay kimonos, the
lean Americans, the dusky natives, to
the center Of the widening circle and
dropped at the horses heads.
The national hymn of Japan choked
In jangle of discords as the runaway
horses shook the dark, sinewy body In
the affrighted faces Of the crowd, then
stood, spent with the pain Of the saw
ing weight on their bits.

Tuvaptors of Old.

Mere invention was regarded as
somewhat vulgar in ancient times.
Archimedes made little of his mechan-
ical inventions. They were only the
amusements Of geometry, he said, and
only at the behest of his sovereign did
he consent to give practical expression
to the many wonderful schemes with
which his brain teemed. And when
Eudoxus and Archytas took seriously
to mechanics they were denounced by
Plato as corrupting and debasing the
excellence of geometry, by making her
descend from intellectual to corporal
things. The inventor was long there
after despised by the philosophers,
and mechanics regarded simply as q
branch of military art.

A Woman's shipyard.

Perhaps it can be said with truth for
once that Miss Ella Lawless, who owns
and personally conducts shipyard and
dry dock plant in Jersey City, is the
only woman engaged in that particu-
lar industry Her father founded the
business which still bears his name a
number of years ago. He built dry
dock in which ships might be secured
and their bulls cleaned and repaired
Steam engines and sawmill consti-
tuted part of the plant.
Mr.. Lawless died nearly six years
ago, leaving his daughter heir to the
dock and shipyard. Immediately she
assumed command, showing executive
ability that would have been remark
able even in a person accustomed to
practical shipbuilding and repairing. A
fire destroyed nearly all the property
some time ago, but the young woman
dry dock operator rebuilt it on an ex-
tended scale and it is now more pros
porous than ever. Miss Lawless has
much personal magnetism.

WAR"
his hat and shouting "Banzai" Now
these beating huzzas which shook the
wharf and echoed among the masts
were for him. Women were weeping
over him; men were grasping his hand.
He was bowling before the governors
carriage, and his prince was saying:
MY brave fellow, you are needed at
the front You shall go with the rank
Of captain"
Koto could only bow lower than ever,
but he hung gray before them as he
pictured his helpless, aged parents, IN
cared for and alone
For an ordinary draft he could have
arranged substitute, but for this, no.
Here was at once promotion, honor, re-
ward. No one must know-no one could
know-how unwelcome it was, and his
harassed soul stood wet on his forehead
as he bowed, smiling and serene. Amid
his torture he felt dimly that these
high honors were not for him, but for
that other that came to him so impel-
lingly up there in his joy and held
him, yet was not him.
"He is not on the list of the drafted,
your highness," he heard voice.
"Let him take command at once"
ordered the prince. you will go as
captain" he assured Koto once more.
The noble prince of Japan had been
saved from a tragic fate, his rescuer
publicly rewarded. The wharf rang
again with cheers, the national hymn
of Japan pealed in weird, wild strains
from the threats of the stumpy, stolid
lines Of Japanese school children, the
governors carriage proceeded on its
way, bells rang, ocean liners trumpet
ed, and Koto, awed by the majestic i'm
pulse that had seized him and set him
on his way, struggling with the ideals
which the training of his whole life
had emphasized, his duty to his par
ents and his duty to his country
marched at the head Of the japanese
troops.
He swung on to car late that after
noon, excited and eager. Not since
leaving Japan had he come so close to
the heart of his country. Was it the
American harbor, gay with his coun-
trys flag, that shook his soul? Was
it his princes ship from Tokyo, gallant
