Are you keeping clean inside with

important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;

a story of Whistler's ingenuity in
getting rid Of troublesome neighbor
is told by A. ]. Eddy in his "Recollec-
tions and Impressions" of the famous
artist. While residing in Venice an
elderly countess moved into an apart
lnent Immediately below that occupied
by Whistler. Her noise, fussiness and
goings to and fro annoyed the artist
very considerably, SO much so, in fact,
that he made up his mind to drive her
away. An opportunity presented itself
one very hot day. The countess put
jar of goldfish on the balcony immedi-
ately beneath his window. During her
absence Whistler tied bent pin to a
thread, caught the fish, broiled them
to a turn and then dropped them back
into the jar again. When the countess
returned and found her goldfish dead
there was a great commotion, and the
next day she packed up and left, say.
ing that Venice was altogether too hot.
She declared with tears in her eyes
that the sun had cooked her goldfish in
their jar.
