OOME years ago the chairman Of the house

making his preparations for the annual
Christmas ball. 1t to be held in the girl!
room Of the clubhouse. This room containee
twelve Gothic windows filed with diamond shaped
names Of iridescent yellow-gray loaded glass He
conceived the notion of FASTING colored tissue pa
per on the windows in such way as to create
the impression Of stained glass when illuminated
from without Electric lights hung on the out
side were to supply the illumination. The chair
man had studied art in Paris
As the work Of attaching the delicate tissue
TO the glass proceeded one piece slipped httie'
The double thickness of the paper formed shad-
owv line and area. 1t was pleasing to the eye
Of the artist that instantly his imagination pict-
ured great possibilities Before he had reached
the twelfth window he was executing landscapes
upon them, using the delicatey textured paper as
his medium.
The list Of accidents which have given rise to
discoveries and inventions Of great value and
interest is long one. William c. COrnwel, for
that was the artists name, permitted the idea TO
which his Imagination had given birth to lie dor
mant for some years. In the meantime he had
removed to this city and entered field which is
generally looked upon as more lucrative than the
painting OF pictures. lie engaged in banking.
Then he decided to apply his discovery again in
the decorations for breakfast at the City Club
here He chose winter as the key to the deco
rative scheme AS a eliminating effect he de-
cided TO paste up picture. 1t is quite proper to
use the words paste up" in this case. This was
what. literally, he did. He chose certain street
corner in Quebec as his subject, the time being
winter Using pieces of colored tissue paper Sc
lected with the eye Of an artist in order to OBJ
tain the tones he desired, he attached them to the
glass, cutting thin in shapes which would produce
the lines According to the amount Of light and
shade wished he added to the thickness of the
paper His picture was completed in four hours
When an electric light placed behind it the
sleigh track in the snow glistened as it does on
clear Alpine morning.

THE FINAL PROBLEMS THAT AVA
THE CITY'S SOLUTION.

Finally, cities have a social program
which involves the formation by cities O.

municipalization, wherever practicable, OF 3''
lie utilities. Freed from the state LegsIat|
simplified in its structure, perfected IN It's 0pe

the water that reminds of the deep sea at

THE TRANSPORTATION WROUGHT IN IT'S
SUE PAPER BY LIGHT

At first glance, before the electric lights behind
ere turned on, the pictures look like so much
pasted tissue paper with rough and wrnkled
surface. Here and there ragged ends appear to
have been torn loose and left hanging in negligent
fashion. 1t all looks very crude That there can
be pictures concealed beneath what has every APP
pearance of being badly bunged piece of FASTING
seems inconceivable.
The lights in the darkened room are turned off
For moment nothing is seen. Then the globes
behind the pasted surfaces glow. Glimpses of
the outer world leap forth through paper in every
quarter of the room, liquid with light The
ragged ends have been replaced by deicately
modulated shadows. In one a finely modelled
bather, her back discreetly turned toward the
spectator, sits beside limpid inlet Over her
finely teXtured form falls the shadow of tree
In the top of this tree the sunlight CLOVIS warmly.
Corot-like tree completes the frame of the vista
OF broadening water and distant blue hills. The
glow OF light that penetrates it is indescribable
Adjoining it is panel of leaping water, water
as blue as any one ever saw in the Mediterranean,
breaking here and there into curling white caps
In the centre boat suggesting gondola is sill
houetted, foam crested waves breaking about the
bow as it is lifted along on the sea- The shadow
of the boat is formed by curling piece of paper
provided for the purpose by the artist back of the
glass, but not seen. 1t is not painted in In this
way is the relief obtained.

Joel has got it bad"
From that moment Ned set his wits
at work to accomplish the design in
view. On their journey to the city
he did not try to discourage Joel. He
knew that it would be of no use. JOel's
mind was nightly set upon his mis-
sion.
The morning after their arrival in
Plymouth Joel and Ned started out to
call upon the theatrical agent, whose
card the circus man had. given Joel.
They located him in an Office, the
walls of which were covered with
portraits Of stage celebrities, from
leading tragedians down to vaudeville
song and dance faVorites. Joel stated
his mission.
"Ah, 1 see" bowed the agent, with
a twitching smile at the corner of mis-
lips. "AH right-$1O please"
'For-?" hesitated Joel
''My advice-usuaI fee. Take ten
minutes. I'm a busy man."
IAN right said Joel ''I'n give you
The Roman Gladiator tragic, and
sing The Miner deep bass"

throwing himself into chair, look
ing bored.
Now, Ned had never before wit
messed one Of the speeialities Of the
gifted Joel. He had heard him sing
in the choir and spout election times,
but this was a star rendition.
Joel had some voice, in fact, too
much of it. 1.-THE Gladiator" he rep
resented made Ned smile. He must
have been born with a cold. The
funny part of it, however, was the
most excruciatinglY funny spectacle
Ned had ever come across. Even
the agent was stimulated. He sat
up, his face aglOw with amusement.
Ned hid behind a screen and held his
sides to keep from yelling outright.
It was the gestures of Joel that

he glided where he should have lin
gered, he WINGED, he grimaced, he
went bouncing about like a jumping
jack.
''There" he shouted, breathlessly
triumphant at the last, what do you
think of that?"
