The Artists Compensation.

Save in a few business concerns,
great concerns. Harrod's, the army
and navy stores and the like, what
a strange weller is in our whole sys-
tenn of payment for work-more espe-
cially in the higher branches of work!
Art and literary work are terrible ex-
amples of this confusion and want of
science, writes a pessimist in the Lon
don Saturday Review. The payments
to many of the best workers in those
barren fields are so bad that a man
is quite sanguine IL he sees not at the
end of his career the madhouse or the
pauper's grave.
If he paint without genius, paint
er may, by attracting an ignorant pub
lie, make himself secure. If he write
without individuality or real force, the
writer may likewise make himself Sc
cure by driving hard bargains with
those who buy and sell his wares.
But for the most part good work in
these branches is the work of sensi-
tive men, who are still children in
money matters and who shrink from
bargaining. Politics and public life
and business makes a much better
game than art or letters.

A New EVENING Cloak.

OF the many Chantecler garments
one of the most useful and least
startling is an evening cloak that falls
almost to hem of frock, with capelike
revers and raglan sleeves.
The chief feature of the cloak is
that il is reversible; 1t is made Of two
shades of fine faced cloth. 1t can be
utilized with darker side out for mo-
toring.
The circular deep revers are OF the
light tone when the dark side Of coat
is worn, and Is turned, dark side out,
for the light cloak. There is no trim
ming of any kind on most OF these
models. though some have an irregular
border made of inch-wide detached
strips of light cloth on dark. and vice
versa.
These are cut about six inches long,
with slanting ends, and are arranged
In two rows, strip on second row op-
posite space between strips on outer
row

Appropriate Hymn.

The worshipers in a certain church
had some trouble to keep their faces
straight a short time ago. During the
service some commotion was caused
by gentleman who accidentally ig-
nited a box of wax matches In his
pocket, and was trying to put them
out, while his alarmed neighbors
struggled equally hard to help him.
The minister, being short-sighted,
could not make out the reason of the
disturbance, and thinking to diplomat
ically cover the incident, he innocently
said:

going on. Until 1t Is over let us sing

"Oh. it's a sweet little ROOM" said
Miss Stiles ironically.
Her gaze roamed pensively over the
little hall room she dwelt In. from the
plump divan cushions to the book
shelf above her cretonne-concealed
washstand. A trunk bumped on the
landing outside her door and then pro-
ceeded with series of smaller bumps
up the stairs and landed with a final
crash overhead.

Bitter distaste of her surroundings, OF
her daily grind, of her colorless days

mentarily out of the rut of logged

From the woods came the ting

While she put straight her hat and
tucked in stray hairpins he picked up
the scattered crimson leaf clusters
and presented them to her.
