Thomas Edison, the inventor, and
Henry Phipps, New York million
aire, have arranged to erect two en-.
tire cities OF concrete houses, one
near New York and the other near
Philadelphia, announces Rural Life.
The intention Is to rent them to work
ing people at a rental not to exceed
$3.50 per month. The houses will
be two-family structures, twenty-five
and three stories high. They will be
fireproof, and equipped with the latest
sanitary plumbing fixtures. Mr.. Edi
son says the cost will be kept within
$1,000. This will permit OF a very
low rent at fair profit. Further
more, Mr.. Edison thinks it will dc
away with the objection of landlords
to children in their houses.

THE FABLEoF THE MUDDY FEET

THE FABLE OF THE MUDDY FEET
Occasionally there is woman who
is entirely too neat and particular to
be the right kind of a mother for
boys. There once lived a woman of
this kind in South Atchison. When
her boys came home from school she
would scream at them, How about
your feet?" "Is there mud on your
shoes?" GO right around to the
back door," What do you mean by
tracking dirt in here?" etc., etc. The
boys grew up, and found out on the
way that there were places down
town where no one found fault If the
feet of those who entered were muddy
or tracked in dust. Now that the
boys have gone to the bad, their
mother sobs and laments and won
ders why "the Lord ever sent her
sons like that" There lives near her,
in South Atchison, a mother who let's
her sons enjoy their home; she was
glad to see them and didn't remind
them that they might bring in mud
when they came home. These boys
grew up to love their home, and have
never found out that there are places
down town where boy is welcome,
and never will. The neat woman
really shouldn't blame the difference
on the Lord; it isn't "toting fair."-

BALLET DANCERS OF SOCIETY.
Expense is no object in amusing
society, and one woman who does it
well says she is going over to London
to take lessons in fancy dancing to
perform at little parties. Lady Con-
stance wart-Richardson, whose
fame as a sportswoman, and especial
ly as swimmer, is well known in
England, has recently added fancy
dancing to her list of accomplish
ments. Lady Constance attended
classes of a famous ballet dancer
in Covent Garden, and, donning the
usual costume of the ballot, was in
itiated into the mysteries of the pro-
fession. Although she has not taken
many lessons she gives promise of
becoming as expert a dancer as she
is a swimmer. She is said to have a
genius for the art, and If she cared
to devote the time to it she might
become one of the best exponents of
ballet dancing ever seen in England.
Ballet dancing is no longer confined
to the small class of professionals.
An English peers daughter recently
went through course of training and
performed with great success at
private party. A young Scottish wo-
man of social position is now study
ing the art in London @for pure love
of the thing. New York Press.
