"A Few years ago apartments were
rather frowned upon by members of the
social colony, but Of late there mas been a
marked change of feeling in this respect
Nearly all the well-to-do East Side resi-
dents own suburban houses, and the ten
dency each year is for them TO remain
longer away from the city. This makes
the maintenance of a town house an ex-
pensive luxury, and as the modern apart
ment offers all the conveniences CT a pri-
vate house, with much less labor and ex-
pense, many of the most conservative
members Of society are giving up their
city houses and spending the winter in
apartments or apartment hotels.

Chicagoan's Unimpaired FacuI-
ties Developed to High Degree.
Harry L. virden, instructor Of Waleott
Combs, Is Working to Educate 9th
ers Like Himself-Teils How
Youth Enjoys Play.

Chicago.-Wolcott Coombs. nineteen
years old, was born without two OF
the most important faculties of man.
he can neither hear nor see. In
spite of this handicap In life. he has
acquired an intellectual capacity un-
der the personal instruction OF his
friend. Harry L. virden. 272S Wash
.ngton boulevard, that is likely to
make him another example. like Helen
Kellar, OF what can be accomplished
by persons whose perceptive faculties
have beel curtailed.
Coombs attends the theaters and en-
joys the plays. He reads great
deal. favoring history and economics.
and holds decided political opinions.
He does expert hammock weaving. He
uses the typewriter and produces
clean. accurate copy" He writes In
all the forms used by deaf and blind
people, as well as English script. He
likes to converse with normal people.
and has made many friends, who have
been only too anxious to answer his
questions.
Mr.. Virden was inclined to be re-
luctant in admitting his part In
Coombs' education. He questioned
whether the same might not be done
with any blind and deaf person who is
anxious to learn.
The fact that Coombs cannot hear
or gee has made him concentrate more
on his other faculties" said Mr.. yir-
den. Il do not believe that the re-
naming senses of a person so af-
ficted are more acute in proportion.
They merely become more sensitive
through use. Few OF us normal per-
sons use our eyes and ears prop
erly."
Mr.. virden first became acquainted
with Coombs while principal OF the
Oklahoma School for the Blind at
Fort Gibson. Okla. which is near the
lads home. When he gave up his
work there and came to Chicago. he
brought the lad with him He decid-
ed to give him every advantage In
his power. Soon Coombs was able to
converse quickly and intelligently
with his teacher. Later he made
many acquaintances in Chicago. Miss
Mabel Taliaferro. who was then ap-
