REAL BOHEMIA

The real Bohemian cafe, when at last
l found it on a dirty tenement street.
far out in the southwest part OF the
city, was a large, square room thal
seemed double its size, so low was the
ceiling. L came in to supper at
o'clock, when the evening had just pc
gun. A few spruce youngsters, PROD
ably clerks, were playing billiards In
shirt sleeves at two tables In the rear.
Around the walls, at small tables, sat
men of all ages, from young Czechs IN
their teens to three white-headed OLD
chums who sat together peacefully
smoking their pipes, with looks on
their faces that were disgrace to
tense, hard-headed, rushing Chicago.
All degrees of prosperity were here.
Men with good clothes and assured de-
meanor sat close to men who, from the
looks of their clothes and hands, might
have come from the neighborlng stock
yards, where thousands of Czechs are
employed. The general air was OF
prosperity: for the Czechs, working
hard in factories, shops and big stores,
and even in office buildings, get ahead
faster than all the more recent imml-
grant races--only excepting Jews.
The talk turning to music. l asked
my companion how they got along mere
without it. He smiled.
1--WE DON'T" he said. lie pointed TO
a piano in one corner. "There are TWO
men who come here, one nearly every
night. One is q music teacher, the
other runs a small music shop in the
Quarter. Neither makes much money,
but how happy they are! Both are
pianists. No doubt there are men IN
this ciry who have more brilliant tech
niuue. But the phrasing, the feeling
that these men put into it! Wait and
you Will hear"
It wes here that Kubelik came one
night, fresh from his downtown trl-
umphs. Downtown he won thousands
of dollars and much hearty applause.
But it was here, in the little Czech
theater close overhead, the. Chicago
home cf Bohemian music and drama,
that Kubelik played his best. And
late at night, when at last the audi
ence, even standing and kneeling IN
the aisles, would consent that he put
up his fiddle, he came down here. And
then this place was packed tight with
men and boys standing and sitting
on tables and chairs-until O'Clock,
when they carried him on their shout
ders out to his automobile.
The Czechs are to be our kindred

KEEP ON PLAYING

Play is just as necessary to keep a
grown man young and middle-aged
man from growing old, as it is to make
a child grow into a man. Wordsworth's
lines are as sound physiology as good
poetry:
MY heart leaps UP when behold
The rainbow in the sky;
So was it when my life began,
SO be it when am man,
Or let me die.
In childhood we play because we are
Young; in middle life we are young be-
cause we play, and If we keep 1t up
we shall never know that we are Ola
until we are one day suddenly dead.
Yet the absurd idea has grown up ana
Mrs Grundy has adopted it with her
usual fatuousness, that play is some-
thing undignified in a grown man ana
unbecoming in a lady. And this, un-
fortunately, is one of the rare instances
where thinking makes it So" After
a man has practiced this belief in the
uselessness of exercise for half a dec
ade or SO and become fat and pompous
and red-faced, or pale and slack
muscled and short -winded, then the
contortions that he INDUCES in when
he decides to unbend and try to play
furnish considerably more entertain
ment to spectators than to himself

This was why Mss Wilson was fr0vn-

she knew she would feel especially SO be-

only that morning that he was q prig
