ARE A PERNICl0US INFLUENCE
Americas Apartment Hotels and Flat
Houses Severely Criticised by
Arnold Bennett.

In Harper's Arnold Bennett express
es the opinion that our apartment no
tells and fiat houses are a pernicious
influence in American life.
Assuming that the couple have no
children, there is good chance of
catching them later, splendidly mis-
cradle, in a high-class apartment
house, where the entire daily adven
ture of living is taken out of YOU
hands and done for you, and you pay g
heavy price in order to be deprived
of one Of the main interests of exist
ence. The apartment house ranks in
my opinion among the more pernicious
influences in American life. Az an in
stitution it is unhappily establishing
itself in England, and in England 1T is
terrible. / doubt if it is less terrible
in it's native land. 1t is anti-social be-
cause it is unfair to children, and be-
cause it prevents the full Towering Of
an individuality. Nobody can be
himself in an apartment house; If he
tried that game he would instantly be
thrown out.) 1t is immoral because 1t
fosters bribery and because it is pre-
tentious itself and encourages pre-
tense in it's victims. 1t is unfavorable
to the growth Of taste because its dec
orations and furniture are and must
be ugly; they descend to the artistic
standard of the vulgarest people in it,
and have not even the merit of being
the expression of any individuality at
all. 1t is enervating because it favors
the creation of a race that can do alb
solutely nothing for itself. 1t is I'M
healthy because it is sometimes less
clean than it seems, and because often
it forces it's victims to eat in a dining
room whose walls are a distressing
panorama of Swiss scenery, and be-
cause it's cuisine is and must be at
best mediocre, since meals at once
sound and snowy cannot be prepared
wholesale.
"Some apartment houses are better
than others; many are possibly mar
vels of organization and value for
money. But none can wholly escape
the indictment The institution itself,
though it may well be natural and
inevitable by-product of racial evolu'
ton, is bad"

court, on the outskirts of the city, a
forlorn spot facing the Notifications.
1t was dismal building situated in
what had once been garden, but had
become wilderness. A thick, high
hedge ran along the front of the house,
which stood some fifty yards away
from the road; wall and ditch pro-
tected it at the back. In the garden
was a well, walled in with massive
stone. Several windows at the back
of the dwelling were broken and
blocked with wooden boards. AL
together, it was gloomy place that
would have lent itself admirably for
sensational scene in a melodrama.
On the morning of the fifth day I
found Inspector Berard sitting in my
Office looking very uncomfortable.

Having whistled softly, Fabre crept
up from his hiding place, and we con-
ferred as to the best course to take.
We remained on guard all night, and
this morning at daybreak knocked at
the door. After a quarter of an hour
it was opened by the woman. She
looked pale, and trembled from head
to foot.

row You must tell him want to see

The next morning at eleven he was
shown in. His face was thin and
crafty, and he peered at me with GU
riosity and cunning expressed in his
puckered eyes.
You are Latouche?" / began.
Yes, sir-Charles Latouche."

ton to make to you. A man has just
died, leaving all his estate to a certain
Charles Latouche; and l have been
asked to hunt for this fortunate heir.
Have you any papers to prove your
identity in case you are that lucky
man?"
He stared at me in bewilderment,
and his hand slowly crept up to his
left ear.
Don't do that" l laughed, cor you
had the same curious knack. His
name was Bachelet."
He turned livid. But 1 saw it was
with rage and not from fear.

He was a cunning rascal, who to

And the old rascal bowed himself
out of the room.
It is not to the credit of mankind
that nine-tenths of the information
supplied to the police is prompted by
revenge: Bachelet, of course, had par
ticipated in the Matchmaking affair,
and had evidently been defrauded by
his confederate. With his usual eau

safe side, and could, therefore, risk
denouncing him.
