Girls Use Roof for
Beauty Laboratory
Art Saleswomen Put On a Delsarte
Performance Down Town at
Lunch Hour.

offices in the Paxton block and near by
buildings are going up in price and desir-
ability. The reason for this Is the pleasant
performance of a daily beauty show for
the benefit OF offices on the north side.
The doctors. lawyers and brokers whose
windows face the north are not only
clinging to their offices as places Of bust
ness, but are neglecting their business and
their lunch during every noon hour. -Four
damsels. who work in the HosPe music
and art store, have begun n series of un-
conscious exhibitions of delsarte training
and feminine gymnastics which the office
men have been enjoying in greedy silence
On the roof OF the back part of the
Hospe building where no one can see from
the street, Is an open space, and here the
noon recreation takes place.
1t usually begins with a thrilling game
of bean bag" The red headed sirl whom
the others call Casey" starts the fun by
FASTING the slippery bag of Boston unbaked
at the big girl in brown who is captain and
professor OF Delsarte. The office men have
decided that she Is "suffragette'' because
she throws like man and insists upon
roughing the game Mccain" third
member, who usually wears blue and whose
daily occupation is selling Beautiful Gar
dens of Roses and Susanna, Love Me
Truly" from behind the sheet music
counter. could never be trusted with vote
because she throws with her eyes shut
and then screams when the bag goes down
into the alley OF into chimney, as it usu-
ally does. The fourth member is the real
athlete OF the class and being somewhat
smaller than the others leaps around over
the roof tops and rain troughs like very
agile sparrow.
After the excitement OF the bean bag
the three girls line up before the big one
and are put through the PAGES. This is
the part that brings every doctors and dem
lists head craning from the wineIws
above. They square their shoulders. throw
out their chests and have one peculiar ex-
ercise which consists in standing in a re-
ligious attitude and kicking out and down
with one foot at time.
