the model of Brook farm. The project
was received with .acclamation. Those
who were willing to share our volun-
tary exile were: Henryk Sienkiewicz,
our married friend Julien Sypniewski,
who was anxious to bring up his two
children under the influence of nature
and the advanced educational system
of America; Lucien Paprocki, an anna
teur caricaturist and my husbands
relative, and Stanislaw Witkiewicz
zone evening when We were dining
at the Kronenberg palace with that
delightful family, our host asked me
if it were true that we intended to
emigrate to America. 1 told him that
such was our desire. What folly!' he
exclaimed. Then looking at me for
while he added, Unless you will
study English and play on the Amer
lean stage!'
These words touched a string that
had been a1leep in my soul for a long
time. 1t awakened again the wild hope

He did rouse himself n an occa-
sion and take pail to milk, but he
didn't have the bearing of a hero
and he didn't look q bit like one when
the cow kicked out and sent him
sprawling.
He had shouldered a maiden and
walked backwards over bridge
while facing the desperate outlaws,
but instead of shouldering the COW
and crying out: "Back, ye hounds of
hell, or l fret" he had made bee
line for the house.
On the stage the gallop of his horse
had been heard behind the scenes as
he came dashing up to the rescue,
and though Sybil couldn't see him,
she imagined what hero figure he
cut. One day on the farm he mount
ed the old gray mare for little ex-
ercise, but the moment she struck

plained of his back for two days.
The second week. board was due,
/ but Mr.. De Quincy didn't allude to
| 1t. Sybil was to have the second $4
| to buy a shirt waist. In one way It
seemed to her tnat 1t was beneath a
| hero's dignity to speak of So in cash,
| but in another she wondered If he
was going to drop from his bedroom
window some night and leave her
| shoeless and waistless.
She had decided not to make her
self known to him. but there was yet
| some of the romance left.
The father had been saving wood
and saying nothing, but when the
time came to act he was on deck. He
felt that one good shock was all that
was needed, and he prepared 1t. AS
he sat resting his aching back after
dinner he remarked to the hero, who
had eaten as heartily as II he had
paid his board In advance:

Who is right? One dresses for the

fed to speak on the subject? Are the
society women who assert that an
hour is the shortest period in which
they can accomplish the donning of
their feminine garments, or the girls
who wear eight or ten different cos
tunes during the course of two hours
and a half, to have the final say in
this much discussed question?

thorities that to those whose morning

Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-09

N HE problem of how long it should
take a woman to dress has puz-
zled the world since the begin
ming of time. No record is made of
it in history and there is, so far as
we have yet learned, no authority as
to whether or not Adam became
''peeved' at the time it required Eve
to don her fig leaf before they went
apple hunting in the Garden of Eden
In modern times, as well as ancient,
it seems to be an idiosyncrasy with the
fair sex to keep masculine escorts
waiting whether it pleased the gentle
men or not Cleopatra really required
but few seconds to array herself to
receive callers, yet she rushed quickly
into the favor of Anthony after hav-
ing kept him waiting while she garbed
herself in few laces and gauze and
jewels for the reception.
It is tie same today. Modern wo-
men-that is, the great majority of
them-take their own time to dress, no
matter what hurry the brother, hus-
band or lover may be in to reach the
opera.

three or four weeks in the country at
a quiet place. Terms were soon ar
ranged and Augustus De Quincy rode
home with him in the farm wagon.
Augustus hadn't state his profess
sion, but was supposed by the farmer
to be a wlre-fence man, seeking rest
from his strenuous labors of convinc
ing farmers that cattle rubbing
against the barbs improved so per
cent over the old way.
True, the stranger used many big
words and INDUCED in many ges-
lures, but perhaps he represented a
new brand of fence, and these char
acteristics were throw in without
extra cost.
Mrs. Taylor locked upon the new
arrival as a windmill man who had
talked himself to a standstill and
wanted to rest his lungs, but Sybil
was not to be deceived. She solved
the mystery in five minutes. One Of
her melodramatic heroes had arrived.
She had seen him on the stage, and
of all the heroes he was the choice
He had killed the most outlaws and
saved the most maidens. On the
three nights she had seen him act
she had felt his greatness SO much
that had they been introduced she
would certainly have tainted away
with embarrassment. Had she been
possessed of $4,000 instead of a
few shillings she would have willing
ly given it for a small lock of his
hair.
Farmer Taylor wa troubled when
he learned who his boarder was, and
the wife shook her head and hoped
that trouble would not come of 1t.
The daughter was delighted, but
did not make the situation known at
once. In fact, she was a bit disap-
pointed. Her hero didn't wear Buff
falo Bill hair nor carry an arsenal OF
guns and knives, nor toy with rife

principal or chorus girl may offer
unique suggestions. Certainly husbands
who wait and suffer will be inter-
ested in chow to dress in six or seven
minutes"
What Chorus Girls Do
In the cast of King Dodo" is Miss
Zoe Barnett, soubrette, who gives her
personal opinion. Several of the
chorus girls, who have even more
changes to make during the per-
formance of the opera, add their as
sertions to the argument that the So
ciety women are wrong. The Illus
trations on this page show the changes
that are made and the length of time
it requires to make them. The dressing
room at the theater in which these
changes are made is typical Of all
similar rooms in theaters in which
rapid changes are made.
Miss Barnett is shown in the first
picture-in simple gown, apparently un-
conscious of time, while lhe jests with
a dramatic critic. Six minutes later
she is singing the first ensemble num-
Der with the chorus. In another pic
ture she is seen in still a different
costume. 1t is to this she makes her
fastest change. The time she is al
lowed is lust five minutes

IN the course of time. Our friends

bush. He looked about the bush in
vain. Not a meadow lark or nest.
He was turning away in puzzled
state of mind when he got lift that
jumped him two feet high and made
him yell out. His yell was not
heroic. Then the meadow larks be-
gan to rise up from lie grass like
the locusts of Egypt. Other farmers
would have called them humble bees,
but farmer Taylor was bit careless
in his choice of names.
Those bees were hopping mad.
They went to business with a vim.
They jumped De Quincy straight up
in the air They jumped him side
ways. They jumped him over the
bush and the nearest fence. They
run him up hill and down hill
and across a creek, and all the time
he was jumping and running ho was
yelling.
When he had jumped second
fence he found himself in a field with
bull, and the bull couldn't let such
an opportunity pass. He Joined in

the woods.
He came not back. The third week
was up within day, and his only
baggage consisted of two old shirts
and a pair of socks. Why should he
return?
"I kinder think ought to go up
to the woods and look for that fel'
ler," observed the farmer at the sup
per table that evening.
You'd better get the constable
after him and make aim pay his
board!" Indignantly ex laimed Sybil.
Then, as she dropped her fork and
bent to pick it up, the father winked
at the mother, the only wink she had
ever known him to indulge In dur
ing the 80 years of their married
life, and holy calm seemed to set.

not been reJuvenated while he wait
ed.
AS her hero Of the stage she had
supposed that he lived on angels
food or something equally dainty. and
she felt bit provoked when he sat
down to fried pork and other things
and ate with the appetite OF a hired
man.
Later on she found that he smoked
pipe, and that holes could be seen
in his socks when he put on his run
down slippers.
Farmer Taylor knew a bit about
human nature. He knew the differ
ence between hero on the stage and
man boarding at farmhouse at
81 week and sewing on his own
buttons. He therefore warned his
wife to say nothing, and he didn't
warn Sybil at all.
When the, first week was up and
the boarder remarked that his remit
, tance hadn't come the father simply
alluded to the fact in a careless way
just as he would haze remarked
that the old spotted COW wasn't CIV
ing quite as much milk as formerly.
But for that careless observation
Sybil must have that day surprised
her hero by informing him that she
had seen him play and was dying to
become great actress. She had her
mind made up to 1t. but hesitated
when she learned that he had not
squared up his board bill.
She had never before thought of
heroes in connection with board by
the week, but she had been promised
that 81 to buy new pair OF shoes
with, and that altered the case.
A real hero would have gone round
the country In search of mad dogs to
kill or highwaymen to arrest. Mr..
