a good showing in view of the fact
that the population Of the state has

SUCCESS OF GARDEN CITIES
IN MODEL HOUSING ABROAD,
Opportunity to Adopt Principles Found
Successful In Europe.

Horace 3. Mann, an American dele
gate to the annual congress Of the In
ternational Garden Cities and Town
Planning association, held in London
last summer, and who has but recently
returned to this country, says that the
lessons learned from the conference
will undoubtedly act as stimulus
toward preparing the way for better
housing conditions in industrial cen.
ters, as well as for the adaptation of
the garden principles found successful
abroad to similar purposes in this coun-
try. 80
The garden city system. as estab-
lshed and Carried out so successfully
III many parts of England. is totally
different from anything we have in
this country" said Mr.. Mann recently.
practically all Of these towns which
have been established to improve the
housing conditions of the poorer class
es and provide reasonable rentals are
organized on the copartnership basis.
BY this principle the land is held in
ownership by the parent organization
to the tenants at reasonable rates or
the houses are leased separately. 1t
has the advantage of preventing rise
in value due to speculative buying.
while again it insures the character OF
the neighbOrhood by maintaining con
troll of the building operations. This
system has solved to a very large de-
gree the housing problem in England"
The tenants Of these industrial towns
actually pay less for their homes than
the cost Of maintenance. but the pro-
prietors feel that. although running
their model towns at loss. it is
wise expenditure. as it contributes to
the general efficiency Of the workers.
Mr.. Mann believes that this semi
charitable system has its evils and
that it might be better to pay higher
wages and then charge enough for the
houses to eliminate the attitude of
charity.
In working out It's housing problem
to clear out the slums the city Of Liv
erpool. explained Mr.. Mann. adopts a
similar method. The municipality owns
large number of model tenements
which are rented to the poorer classes
at less than the actual cost OF mainte.

Preaching That Upiifts.

The world seems pretty bad place
to most OF us at times. There are
so many things which take the heart
out Of our optimism, that seem to
make it meaningless hope rather
than any solid reinsurance. But the
kind Of preaching that comes from
somebody who is better than we are,
some life that lifts up the standard
Of human worth and reveals what it
may be made to stand for-such
preaching is likely to answer the cry
within US for something that is true
and genuine and dependable.-Haver-

Flora Desimone had been born in a
Calabrian peasants hut, and she had
rolled in the dust outside, yelling Wig
orously at all times. Specialists de-
clare that the reason for all great
singers coming from lowly origin is
found in this early development of the
throat. Parents Of means employ
nurses or sedatives to suppress or at
least to smother these infantile pro-
tests against being thrust inconsider-
ately into the turmoil of human be-
ings. Flora yelled or slept, as the
case might be; her parents were
equally Indifferent. They were too
busily concerned with the getting Of
bread and wine. Moreover, Flora was
one among many. The gods are al
ways playing with the Calabrian pen
insula, heaving it up here or throwing
it down there; il terremoto, the earth
quake, the terror Here nature tink-
ers vicariously with souls; and she sell
dom has time to complete her work.
Constant communion with death
makes for callosity of feeling; and the
Calabrians and the Sicilians are the
cruelest among the civilized peoples.
Flora was ruthless.
She lived amazingly we'll in the pre-
mier of an apartment-hotel In the
Champs-Elysees. In England and
America she had amassed fortune.
Given the warm beauty of the south
ern Italian, the passion, the tempera-
ment, the love Of mischief, the natural
cruelty, the inordinate craving for at
tention and fiattery, she enlivened the
nations with her affairs. And she new
or put a single beat of her heart into
any of them. That is why her voice Is
still splendid and her beauty unchang-
ing. She did not dissipate; calcula-
ton always barred her inclination:
rather, she .loitered about the Forbid
den Tree and played that she had
plucked the Apple. She had an ex-
ample to follow; Eve had none.
Men scattered fortunes at her feet
as foolish Greeks scattered floral Of
ferings at the feet of their marble
gods without provoking the sense OF
reciprocity or generosity or mercy.
She had worked; ali, no one would
ever know how hard. She had been
crushed. beaten. cursed, starved. That
she had risen to the heights in spite Of
these bruising verbs in no manner en-.
larged her pity, but dulled and vitiated
the little there was of it. Her mental
attitude toward humanity was child
ish; as, when the parent strikes, the
child blindly strikes back. She was
determined to play. to enjoy life, to
give back blow for blow. nor caring
where she struck. She was going to
press the juice from every grape. A
thousand odd years gone. she would
have led the cry in Rome Bread and

would have disturbed Nero's compla-
cency, and he would have played an
obbligato instead of q solo at the burn

talked Of the daring OF the American
woman: who but a Frenchwoman
would have dared what she had this
night? The taxicab! She laughed.
And this man was wax in the hands Of
any pretty woman who came alongl
So rumor had it But she knew that
rumor was only the attenuated ghost

curate whispers. Wax! Why, she
would have trusted herself in any SIT
uation with a man with those eyes and
that angle Of jaw. 1t was all very
mystifying. Follow him; see where
he goes" The frank discussion, then,
and the calm dismissal were but a
woman's discrimination. And he had
gone to Flora Testimonies.
The carriage stopped before hand

de Wagram. The. unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
concierge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way to the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and Familiarity
pushed the button. The apartment in
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where, but luxury subdued and
charmed by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner of inconseQuence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
permanent from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the coy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
witches and a bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger, she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed it out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, if only he had taken me for a
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as If in
spired, and dashed into another room,
study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with a celebrity that came of
long practice, drew FIVE straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom OF
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves, all of which would
have puzzled an Psychologist If he
were unused to the ways of musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re-
turning it.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo-
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; in them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero of it. too. With her eyes
closed and her 1.-the body swaying
gently, she let the old weary pain in
her heart take hold again.
