HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor Imagined Appeal Was From
FIdo, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover OF animals. Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
tie plate.
The other evening he was at din
ner party. and his partner was very
great lady, who was proud OF her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely no
attention to her. His mind had
switched on on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently. to attract his attention.
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bing a half-picked chicken bone from
his plate. he thrust It under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, F1doi" he
said curtly. Here. take this and go
and eat 1t on the mat. like a good dog

Open Air Schools Grow IN Favor.


With the opening of the fall school
term. over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculous, and
anaerhic children, and also for all chill
dren In certain rooms and grades, will
I be in operation In various parts of the
United States. according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention Of Tuberculosis. All of these
schools have been established since
January. 1907. when the first institu-
tion of this character was opened in
Providence. R. l. On January 1st.
1910. there were only 13 open air
schools in this country and a year
later the number had increased only
to 20. Thus. the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with SO fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculous. anaemic
and other school children, Boston
alone having over so. New York comes
next with 30. and Ohio is third with
21. Open air schools have now. been
established in nearly so cities in 19
different states.

Mir. Christy made no countercharges to her charges when she sued for divorce, be- yond explaining that artists are impossible husbands, and they are bound to be because of their particular work From the earli- est moment until the end of his career he explained " the artist breathes an atmos- phere which is unreal and out of harmony with the wholesome restrictions and re. straints of civilized life. The artist is sur rounded with false conceptions and unreal ideals which other men are not entangled with"
 Henry Hut is another of the American artists and illustrators who has had the courage to let his public and admirers know what he considered his ideal type of girl.

The perfect woman necessarily-that is, the ideal wife woman--isnt all beauty of color ing and fneness of lines and aristocratic of feature. While my ideal woman, as I see her, pleases superhcially, she is by no means the girl would marry.
 q suppose I am selfish, whimsical, overcritical, but I have yet to meet the girl would marry. I find some things to please in one woman, others in another girl, and qualities I admire still in others, but to get tho combina tion-well, of course, it can be found, for there are adorable wom- en in every sense of the word just around the corners as the columns of each days marriage licenses prove-but l haven't round- ed the corner, that's all"
 All of Howard Chandler Christy's friends knew that he had been desperately in love with his wife before they became engaged.

 Charles Dana Gibson says that he and his wife are supremely happy, Mir. Gibson ex- plained. We are bound to be, because we have so many interests in common, includ- ing outdoor sports pictures, travels, thea ters, and many other things. Yet l cannot say she is my ideal in every respect
 Mrs. Gibson, who was Miss Langhorne and was known as Virginia beauty, is tall and statuesque. Gibson says that there can be no ideal type of the American girl because she is a composite girl.
 "I have seen tall women who were mere leaden statues, but whose lines lent them selves admirably to drawing says Mir. Gb- son. "They are better than short girls for line drawings because they give a certain style and elegance. Therefore you see, I cannot say that I have ever found an ideal type-they are many. My wife is my ideal for a certain type of woman."

Hero worshipers will also approve of Mir. Christy, for he is clean cut, frank, and manly looking-the companionable type of man whom men like, and who always ap- peal to women. Mrs Christy proved this admiration for her husband her admring glances told the story better than anything she could possibly say.
 Though Mrs. Christy was Washington girl they lived in New York after they were married, and were supposed to be very happy, with their home, friends, and, most of all, with their little girl Nathalie.

1 RTIsTS do not find their ideals in A. their wives This sounds strange, [ \ for they spend most of their time
 trying to put their ideal women on canvas, and often with success. Four of Americas great artists, including Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, Henry Hut, and Howard Chandler Christy have drawn and painted their ideal girls, but they do not seem to find their ideals in their wives Charles Dana Gibson is the only one who up to the present time can say that his wife IS his inspiration. Henry Hut and Toward Chandler Christy thought they had found the right ones, only to admit their mistakes.
 The Fisher girl is ever the same. She is slender a reed, with a cranelke neck and an exquisitely fine cameo face. Mr. Fishers favorte model is Miss Catherine Clement a lovely brunette He says, She is my ideal model because she throws herself into poses with marvellous intelligence She catches the elusive psychology of the thing
 Harrison Fisher admits that he has tried time and again to get away from what is commonly known as the Fisher girl He has locked the door of his studio and tried to paint some other girl, only to be dissat- isfed and go back to her. He tries to make himself believe that he is tired of his beautiful girl and looks for some new type and inspiration. When he offers them in stead of the regular Fisher girl he gets this complaint: Just like an artist Al ways trying to do something different, when enough of

CROWDS CHEER FOR DIAZ.
Hundreds Parade Streets of City of
Mexico in Demonstration.

Mexico City, Mex.-Barred from the
chamber OIL deputies by order of Presi-
dent Madero because of the noisy
demonstration in which he and his
political adherents were Kissed and
derided, and the name of Diaz was
frantically cheered, hundreds of resi-
dents marched through the streets Sat
urday night and shouted disapproval of
the new executive and "vivas" for their
eXiled ruler.
Mounted police were ready to dis
perse the mob and the entrances to
the chamber where the deputies were
in executive session were heavily
guarded.
The situation is almost identical
with that Immediately preceding the
fall of Diaz, with the exception that
shifts have been made in the cast of
characters. The disorders had as a
basis the same discussion-the seating
of doubtful members of the chamber
as the previous day, when the gallery
Kissed Madero and shouted the praises
of Diaz. They were precipitated by
the rejection of Francisco Pascual
Garcia, leader of the Catholic wing
whose election was unquestioned.
