Electricity and the
Dawn Of a New Era
in Christmas Presents

The common daily use Of electricity for
lighting, cooking and heating has led to
the formation Of a gigantic neY~ indus
try-the making Of things electrical suit
able for Christmas presents.
At no other season Of the year is the
progress, ingenuity and usefulness Of
these electrical devices more evident than
now, When the leading department. stores
and supply houses are full OF interesting
articles suitable for gifts to either lady
or gentleman.
Among the most popular things for
women are the electric chatting dish, a
truly serviceablc article in'a house using
electricity.
With good chatting dish one may pre-
pare the most appetizing and dainty
dishes while actually at meals.
Atoasting stove is as useful and charm
ing q gift as its name implies, Then a
sewing machine motor will save much
labor and eliminate the fatigue Of pedal
ing.
An electric iron is equally useful and
time and labor saving,
A general utility motor will be found
immensely useful in the kitchen, for att
taching to a machine TO clean knives and
polish silver.
To an autombilc owner the utility
motor IS almost indispensab for keeping
the machine clean and the bright PARTS
looking like silver
An electric radiator is becoming a 1,e,-
lccssity in the better class homes, and no
wonder, for it is cheerful, clean and gives
hcnaNimum Of heat for the minimum al
cost
Men DESTROYS Of giving their wives,
mothers ar sisters something absolutely
unique, amazingly useful and very att
tractive cannot possibly do better than
give something electrical for Christmas,
II in any diflictllts as ia what tn select,

will be happy to make good, practical
suggestions free Of al charge.

Studio Drama in Real Life Duplicates
story 'SThe Common Law"

Chicago, Nov. 26.-A canvas. slash
ed and torn until it scarcely can be
recognized as a painting; a Canadian
girl hurrying home, away from the
glamour of Chicago's bohemia, and an
artist who made a great sacrifice
when moved by a girls tears-these
things are all that is left of one of the
little tragedies of the local artists
world.
The studio drama is a duplicate of
Robert W. Chambers THE Common
Law" The people in the real story
are duplicates of those woven from
the brain of the writer and the incl
dents are uniquely similar.
Briefly, the romance centers about a
young and pretty girl, Miss Marion
Mckenzie, who, tired of the humdrum
existence in a country town near
Windsor, Canada, came to Chicago in
the hope that life here would be more
enjoyable. Her air castles soon tum-
bled after arriving, and within three
weeks she was alone, friendless and
without money. Pride prevented her
from writing her parents of her mis-
fortune and she resolved to struggle on
alone.
While looking through the want ads
in a newspaper, an advertisement for
an artists model caught her eye and
she answered it. The reply that came
back brought Joy to her heart and she
went to the address given, the studio
of Wellington Reynolds in the Tree
Studio building at State and Ontario
streets.
Her pretty face, beautiful figure and
type of beauty appealed to the artist
and she was Immediately engaged as
the model for his new painting, THE
Asphodel Gatherer." When informe
that she would have to pose in the
nude she refused and left the studio
Later she came back and reluctantly
consented.
Three days ago the painting was
completed Reynolds fellow artists
gathered in his studio and enthusi-
astically told the artist the picture
would be the sensation at the coming
art exhibition. The girl came to see
the painting for which she was g
model. Shame-faced, she gazed at it
then burst into tears and begged thai
IT be destroyed. Overcome by hel
emotion, Reynolds took his palette
scraper and slashed it into strips, ruin
ing his chance for a prize.
