The hall in the Rijks museum, in
Amsterdam, which contains Rem
brandt's The Night Watch" painted
in 1912. was specially built to hold the
picture that the lighting might be as
perfect as possible. The picture is al
ways lighted, the hall always dark.
Originally the picture was arranged
badly as to light and space. When, in
1715, it was transferred from the Doe
len to the town hall it was made to fit
into its new position by having strips
cut off the canvas on either side and
off the top, which destroyed the bal.
ance.

FASHION AND MISERY.
A Pitiful Tragedy That Revealed an

One of the standing subjects of hui
morous remarks among New York
theatergoers is the weekly article on

Some people think Beau Brummel is
a woman. while others believe him to
be merely d haberdusher with drug

Broadway he'd land in Jail or the psy

to it. In small tenement. at the
