TRUE IMPRESSION!SM

They were lounging on a bench in
Carnegie art gallery and discussing
the work of various artists represented
in the pictures about them. One could
tell at a glance that they were artists
of the true Bohemian type. They wee
unsparing in their criticisms, as they
were extravagant in their praise where
the subject seemed to warrant. and
they talked of "values, pitch, perspec-
tive, tonality, vibration, luminosity"
and other qualities in a jargon known
only to the studios.
"Oh," said one with long hair and
flowing tie Ibis landscapes are well
enough, but interiors is where he
shines Take that Dutch Kitchen Of

as there is in the gallery. And as for
breadth of handling and depth of feel

SOME WAYS OF WRoNeDoERs

There are a few places where the
professional crook operates" said
Seymour Beutler of New York, for
twenty years chief of the Pinker-
ton forces on the New York race
courses, to the Washington Post man.
"Pickpockets generally work in
crowds, or bands, and many clever jobs
are done while helping an old man
or woman on a car. OF course these
crooks frequent crowds, and in the case
of 'prop-getters,' for instance, the thief
will use a handkerchief in front of a
mans scare and with the other hand
deftly lift out his pin. l remember
one incident when two of these prop
getters' were working together. one
of them spied a beautiful stone in the
scarf of a prosperous looking passenger
who was standing in a crowd on
street car. He tipped off his partner
and signaled that he was going after
the stone, when the latter held him

MANS CONQUEST OF THE AIR

The feasibility of aerial travel is now
definitely established and every day
marks an advance towards the
achievement of the practical utility of
the aeroplane. At present, however, it
is a somewhat unwieldy and cumbrous
machine, but when it has left the
ground and scars upwards, it's move
ments are so graceful and withal so
facile that a thrill of pleasure is eX-
perienced by all who witness an as
cent. The great machine is brought
out of it's shed; the machinery is lu-
bricated; the sails and rudder are ad-
justed the brave conqueror of the
air-the wounds on his head caused by
a recent accident to his machine still
bound UP with plaSter-eXamineS the
somewhat complicated mechanism, and
takes his seat preparatory to starting.
The formidable pair of propellers COM

suddenly at terrific speed, with a
stridulous roar an express rail-

Immediately behind. And now the
aerOplane snakes itself free from those
who are holding it in, and starts on its
course along the ground, speedily at
tanning a great velocity. At length
it is seen to have risen into the air,
soaring upwards and still upwards,
and careeiing along, literally on the
wings of the wind, at a speed of about
forty or fifty or more miles an hour,
like an enormous dragon fly or like
some primeVal monster OF the air;
now in graceful curves, now in
straight course, and now partly de-
s,ending, skimming over the trees, and
then more slowly gliding along few
1eet above the surface of the ground,
until at length, amidst the hearty, well
earned cheer of the spectators the gal
liant aviator stops at the exact spot
where he started. Truly man has at
last overcome even the attractions OF
gravitation itself. But for us that
strangest and greatest of all the nat
ural forces will be overcome and an
initiated the moment the spirit bids
it's temporal farewell to the body. And
even when, at the resurrection, body,
soul and spirit are again reunited

For in the spirit world those glorified
beings who have attained an inher1-

of the merits and mediation of the
Savior of the world, who took upon
Himself the pains and penalties due to
them for their lapses from righteous
ness, will have cast off their earth
trammels and will be like the angels
of God. But alas! there are those who.
neglecting or refusing that offer OF
salvation, will find the Gates OF
Heaven closed against them-A

TOOK THE OLD FELLOW ABACk


There is a Thanksgiving story about
Henry E. DiXey, the comedian, that
his friends at the Lambs never tire of
telling.
Mr.. DiXey while visiting Philadelphia
one autumn attended a very aristo-
cratic Thanksgiving ball in Ritten-
house square.
While supper was being served Mr..
DiXey ranged himself behind the sup
per table with the twelve or fifteen
walters busy there. Soon a mild
hammered old gentleman with white
hair approached the actor, glass in
hand.
would you mind filling my glass
with champagne, please?" he said.
Mr. DiXey started, drew himself up
and, with a look of horror, said:
Certainly not, sir; certainly not.
You have already had more than is
good for you"

The dance committee of the two

The committee recently appointed to
investigate the merits of sick benefit

favorably and the members of the

MILLIONAIRE WANTED TO

lnterPretative Style Needed In Settle
ment Work, Girl Says.

John D. Rockefeller, Mrs. Russell
Sage or even a philanthropist of less
means has grand chance just now to
deliver blow to the "hugging idea
of the average youthful dancer, ac-
cording to Miss Edna Neil, the Chicago
fnterpretative dancer Miss Neil wants
some rich person to eliminate the hug
ging dance" by spreading the gospel
of classic rhythm
Mr.. Rockefeller, she declares, would
do the fine arts a service and over
turn the unaesthetic ideas of modern
American youth if he would establish
interpretative classes at the University
Of Chicago and other social settle
ments
Children and young people every
where would be benefited by getting
the interpretative idea," she said. Eat
present they have too much Of the
hugging idea. Interpretative dancing
brings out the spiritual side Of life, and
that is reason enough why rich peo-
pie ought to help.
Children have clumsiness born in
them, so why not teach them some
thing graceful? Good teachers Of IN
terpretative dancing, a knowledge OF
the best music and good thoughts
would change the very minds Of the
children"

WOMAN VALUABLE IN BANK.
Oregon Concern Finds New Method Ia
Profitable.

Profitable.
One Of the new departures in bank
ing methods Is the bid that is made for
women's accounts. City banks have
had a department for women for some
time, but only lately have country
banks and trust companies taken hold
of the plan.
The woman's department Of the
Portland Trust Company of Oregon
was established something over three
years ago. 1t is really a branch of the
advertising or publicity work. proceed
ing upon the lines of populariZing the
bank and making it a subject OF con-
versation among the women of the
city.
A competent business woman is in
charge as superintendent of this de-
partment Every accommodation and
courtesy is extended TO women patrons
in the way of explaining matters OF
business with which they are unfa-
miliar. assisting them in the prepare
ton of checks, drafts and other papers
when they open an account.
In addition to her duties in the bank
the superintendent makes frequent
calls upon women whose business it is
desirable TO obtain and also extends
assistance to those who may need it.
If, for example. one of the banks
clients or a stranger is i'll and desires
advice or assistance in the preparation
of any paper or in the handling of any
business the superintendent waits upon
her at her home and spends as much
time as may be necessary in aiding her
IN this way some very desirable results
have been gained
