In tho Wrona Church.

A Cleveland man recently told this
story of the Rev. Stephen Fl. Tying, fa-
nous New York divine of a generation
ago:
A wealthy man came TO him and
said he wanted to rent one of the most
expensive pews in the church. But"
he added. I'm only take it on one con-
dition--you mustn't expect me to do
any church work"
The eminent rector smiled. ''My
friend" he replied, you have come to
the wrong church. You belong four
blocks down the street, in the Church
of the Heavenly Rest" Cleveland

WHISTLER nj A RAGE.
Lady Meux Made Him Fairly spIutter,
With Anger.


Whistler painted three portraits of
Lady Meux, one of which, the sable
Picture of Lady Meux," is missing.
That one was the third for which
Lady Meux sat to the eccentric artist.
| The other two are described In the
Pennelrs life of the artist as among
bis most distinguished portraits. Lady
| Meux "was handsome, of more luxu-
RANT type than the women who usual
y sat to him." and he found for her
larmonies appropriate to her beauty
! The first was an Arrangement In.
White and Black which few people
nave seen. There is sumptuousness
IN the black of the shadowy back
ground and the velvet gown. In the
white of the fur of the long cloak,
hat Whistler never surpassed. Whis-
tler was pleased with it and spoke Of
L as his beautiful Black Lady, Lady
Meux was so well satisfied that she at
,nce sat for a second portrait, This
time the harmony was in Flesh Col
,r and Pink afterward changed to
Pink and Gray"
The missing portrait was smaller.
So far as the artists biographers
could find out. it was never finished
The explanation is probably to be
found in this story, quoted in the
Life" from Mr.. Harper Pennington:
"The only time saw Jimmy stump
ed for reply was at sitting Of
Lady Meux (for the portrait in sables).
For some reason Jimmy became nerv.
1us - exasperated = and impertinent.
Touched by something he had said, her
ladyship turned softly toward him and
remarked quite softly, See here, Jimmy
Whistler, you keep civil tongue In
that head of yours or / will have in
some one to finish those portraits you
have made of me! with the faintest
emphasis on finish. Jimmy fairly
danced with rage. He came up to
Lady Meux, his long brush tightly
grasped and actually quivering in hjs
hand, held tight against his side He
stammered. spluttered and finally
gasped out: How dare you? How
dare your But that after all, was
not an answer, was It? Lady Meux
did not sit again. Jimmy never spoke
Of the incident afterward, and was
sorry to have witnessed it."

UNDUE FEAR
OF GERMS

Some one has been alarming us be-
cause he found a few bacteria on
gummed postage stamps, though he
should have been astonished if he had
not found them. Some years ago an
investigator reported that he had
found many cigar-makers, with mu-
cOus patches in their mouths, who
were moistening the cigar end with
saliva. He, too, spread alarm, but as
no cases of syphilis from cigars were
known, smokers went calmly on re-
CARELESS. We now know that the in
fecting organism of syphilis perishes
very quickly. Postage stamps seem
to be just as harmless, though, of
course, no one wants to put them in
his mouth Immediately after they have
been handled by the dirty fingers of
some one else, even if the germs so
deposited are dead as door-nails. In
the same way common sense tells us
not to put dirty money in the mouth,
for it may have recently been tucked
away in a very dirty place, yet its
germs, too, are mostly dead, and we
can lay very little disease to its
agency. Its evils are of another sort.
Our clothing is boiled in the laundry,
and even if pus-soaked, it does not
spread infection. Irdning also kills
some organisms, though not nearly so
many as we once thought, as the tenn
perature of the fabric is not suf-
| ficiently raised in the process.
Bacteriophobia seems to be at the
root of the present dread of things we
must handle daily. These sufferers
/ should be informed that for thousands
of years we have been constantly
| bombarded with living germs, and by
| ordinary laws of adaptation we have
evolved defenses. Moreover, we can
not possibly avoid all these enemies,
i even in the air we breathe This is
not a plea for filth. Common sense,

animals learned by playing and romp-
ing with one another how to stalk
and capture the prey on which they
fed and how to defend themselves
from attacks. In a word, they learned
the serious business of their adult
lives by means Of play. And while
it has been long recognised that hui
man youngsters acquire by means Of
play much of the mental and physi-
cal training that achieves success in
life, yet the importance of providing
play for cooped-up city children was
long overlooked Their vital need oil
play was so obvious that of course
no one noticed it for a long time. But
DR.. Luther H. Gulick, sane dreamer
and conservative idealist, aroused the
Board of Education of New York city
decade ago to the crying need CT
play if the millions of children in
their charge we're to grow up into
normal men and women.
It was at this juncture that Miss
Elizabeth Burchenal suggested to DR..
| Gulick that the foIk-dances of various
European peoples afforded a means
of giving exercise and fun to whole
classes of girls at one time.
Instruction in dancing was begun
merely as an experiment in one OF
the lower East Side schools. Mrs
Clarence Mackay, Mrs. James Speyer
Miss Grace Dodge, Miss Catherine
Leverich and other women of position
and wealth, gave their support to the
new enterprise. Like all new things
it needed enthusiasm and hard worl
| to get the work under way; but thC
children took to it eagerly. Glasses
were taught only after school, bu
the great difficulty was to choose
from among the hosts of girls who
begged for a chance to learn. Miss
| Burchenal worked hard, but the eagel
children were full of enthusiasm ant
therefore so much easier to teach
From the very beginning the expert
ment was a success, The girls whC
danced looked stronger and happier
prepared their lessons better, were
actually ever so much sturdier am
more efficient than those who did no
dance.-William Inglis, in Harper
Weekly.
