Once upon time you got month
rent tree and the man would ask you
if he should paper the parlor in pink
or blue. In those days the ADVERTISE
ment read Seven roonae and bath, Se5
a. month" and if you spoke sharply to
him he would take less. Go-day the
same apartment is listed "EXCEP-
TloNAL OPPORTUNITY - Polonius

elusive bath in select residential neigh
borhood: Three masters bedrooms and
, two maids rooms. Everything up to

or Ford automobiles. Business, social
and medical references absolutely es-
sential. No Unitarians. Apartment to

$3.50 on alternate Thursdays in June"
lhe rent crisis is to a large extent
a matter of morale. In some way or
other not only the landlords but all
OF their agents have acquired what is
known on the stage as authority.
.When we went to Polonius Court we
might possibly have confounded the
young earl by remarking that The two
maids rooms looked remarkably like
clothes closets. We lacked courage. In
TACT, we were unnerved from the very
moment he pointed to the small cubicle
of the airshaft and said, "You see. this
masters bedroom opens on the court" +"
Our only excuse is that we had never
seen a masters bedroom before. We
have always set our heart upon being
masterful, but we can't afford one Of
the bedrooms. Probably we shall 90 on
to the end of the chapter without being
master Of anything, be it arts, schooner
or bedroom. Being master Of your. fate
ana captain Of your soul doesn't count,
because those titles are purely honor
ary, ENVIRONMENT is everything. AL
most anybody at all can come down to
work after eight hours in a masters
bedroom and make the Office boys
jump.
AND yet, for all our envy, It seems
TO US that the development of the mas
ter's bedroom is sinister movement
in American life. Before the days Of
the suffrage amendment nobody would
even have considered the possibility
OF there being more than one masters
bedroom in any house OR apartment.
NOW we some times see advertisements
which offer three, four and even five
masters bedrooms. All we can say is
go on your luxurious way and enjoy
your steam heat and your three baths
and your exclusive neighborhood and
your five masters bedrooms while you
can, but remember that house divided
against itself must fall. Still. even
it did, we don't suppose the rent would
follow. If Newton had thrown lease
into the air instead of an apple he
never would have. discovered gravity
and it would still be something one had
to learn by experience. which would be
a mighty hard school for the tenants
in the Woolworth Tower.

searches into New York apartments,

interested in this collection Of
"a pen-and-inks by the Ameri-
can master of black-and-white
illustration.
Great vitality and care for
detail are the predominating
qualities Of Pyle, the artist,
the qualities without which a
knowledge of drawing and
composition even such as Pyle
possessed leaves one cold. The
power to project into his sub
ject, to know it absolutely
and to make it live was the
particular genius Of Pyle.
In these rich toned black
and-whites is expressed the
intensity Of feeling and the
direct simplicity of the Morte
d'Arthur stories of Galahad
and the Grail, Of Sir Launce-
lot and of Sir Tristram. These
tales of war and love and
spiritual fervor have survived
for centuries because of their
strength and beauty, and it is
these vital simple qualities
which Pyle has caught and
breathed into his illustrations.
Pyle was born March S,
1853, and died Noverber 8,
1911. He studied for. a time
at the Art Students League
in New York, but he was al
most a self-taught artist. In
1900 he established the school
in Wilmington, Delaware,
where he labored to perpetu-
ate his work, which has done
so much to make the Pilgrim
Puritan settlements, the Robin
Hood, the buccaneers of the
American coast and the myth
cal court Of King Arthur live
again.

That IL Is Next to an
Irnpossibility
to Please Everybody

is we'll illustrated by the hun
dred-year.old fable Of the
farmer, his son and the little
pony, on the road to the horse
market to sell the little horse.
To get the best price for the
small animal for the farmer, in
reduced circumstances, they
concluded not TO give him any
load to carry, but man, passing
them on the road, said it would
60 no harm for the farmers son
10 ride him.
Coming along later, party Of
men and women said: Look at
that good-for-nothing boy rid
ing and letting his father trudge
along on footg" So the father
climbed up and sat behind his
son.
By and by more travellers
came along and said aloud, for
everybody to hear: what a
shame for two men to be on that
little beasts backl It is enough
to kill HIM" Whereupon the
father and son got of the pony
and the whole three walked TO-
town, saying to each other:
Trying to please everybody
pleases nobody"
And yet--this New Kind of
Store has agreeable recollec-
tons, of the past sixty years, Of
trying to please.

Government NeMspaper.

Il is not generally known that in case
the recent railwaymen's dispute in
Great Britain had developed into a
general strike, and the public had been
unable to obtain its customary news
papers, arrangements had been made
for the production of a government
daily.
It was to contain no editorial views
whatever, but simply a record of what
was happening at home and abroad.
Five million copies would have been
circulated by a squadron of $50 aero
planes. The governments idea was
that the dangers of general strike
would be enormously enhanced If the
general public did not know what was
going on.

The Dickcissel was formerly called
the black-throated bunting and is a
very beautiful creature as we'll as very

need identify him by his dress, for his

we never heard any Of the mocklng

Land Question In Chile.

The land question, particularly as 1t
relates to the Indians, has of late been
receiving attention from those inter
ested in the future of Chile. The
tendency has been to take every ad-
vantage of these natives, who despite
the many handicaps that official and
unofficial greed have placed In their
way, are admitted to be making sub
stantial progress. They have, as might
have been expected, shown themselves
particularly proficient in agriculture
and cattle breeding. Crying evils In
the administration of the lands have
been pointed out in the public press,
but as yet the authorities do not seem
to be sufficiently interested in remedy
ing a state of affairs that does much
to ALLEVIATE the sympathies of an I'M
portant, If subordinate, part of the
population.
