For eight months Samson's life had
r~n in the steady ascent of gradual
climbing. but in the four months from
the first of August to the first of De-
cember, the pace of his existence sud
denly quickened. He left of drawing
from plaster casts and went into a
life class.
In this period Samson had his first
acQuaintanceship with women. except
those he had known from childhood
and his first acquaintance with the
men who were not of his own art
world.
Tony Collasso was an Italian illus
tratCr who lodged and painted in
studio-apartments in Washington
Square, South. His companions were
various, numbering among them a
group of those pygmy celebrities of
whom one has never heard until by
chance he meets them, and of whom
their intimates speak as of immortals-
To Collasso's studio Samson was
called one night by telephone. He
had sometimes gone there before to
sit for an hour, chiefly as a listener,
while the man from Sorrento bewailed
fate with his coterie, and denounced
all forms of government over insipid
Chianti.
But tonight he entered the door to
find himself in the midst of a gay and
boisterous party. The room was al
ready thickly logged with smoke, and
dozen men and women, singing
snatches Of current airs. were inter
esting themselves over chafng dish.
The crowd was typical A few very
minor writer's and artists. model or
two, and several women who had
thinking parts in current Broadway
productions.
At eleven O'Clock the guests Of honor
arrived in taxicab. They were NJ.

PARIS, Aug, 2S.-A pathetic romance Of
the war has been disclosed by the death
in a little village near Poperinghe OF a
pretty Belgian girl OF 10 years.
Some months z a number of British
officers were billeted at the house OF the
girls father. who Is a retired forage con
tractor, owning considerable property,
Among them was q tall, handsome young
lieutenant, the younger son or a well
known peers brother.
He fell i'll suddenly. and, expressing a
wish to be allowed To remain where he
was instead OF being sent back 10 the
hospital. was nursed to health by his
hosts daughter. He conveyed his deep
gratitude to the girl. and gave her a
souvenir In the form of a statuette
of a British officer. modelled by himself
from a fragment OF a German shell,
A short time afterward the officers
were moved further up the line, and al
though the girl and her patient had been
the greatest friends 1t IL doubtful II he
knew the full extent OF her affection for
him. which she was careful to try to con-
ceal.
He had been gone only a week when
she heard through one OF his brother OFF,
GERS that he had been killed. and the girl
was no longer able to keep her secret.
She confessed to her father that she had
tried to forget. but could not. Thence
forward every day saw her grow paler
and thinner. Finally she took to her bed
and died a few weeks later, death being
due. according to the doctor. to grief act
ing on n naturally fragile constitution.
