shows rent roll of ,000,, which, ac-
cording to the brokers, averages about
81 a square foot Completion of nego-
tiations for the resale Of the property
is expected to be announced next week.
In December. 1915, the Anderson
Galleries purchased the above site
resold it to Mr.. Bixbys corporation,
which proceeded at once with the
erection of the present building.
Shortly afterward the Madison Avenue
corner was taken over by a corpora
ton headed by Godwlnr Starrett and
improved with a twenty y-three story
office building. The Anderson Gal
leres continued to occupy the proper
ties until it purchased the building of
the Arion Society, at Park Avenue and

The Three Essentials.

"There are just three things" remarks the
Beaufort Gazette, which are mandatory In
the development of a country or q section OF
a country-good roads, good schools and
good markets"
Experience abundantly bears out this
statement. Especially is it noticeable in the
South today that the most prosperous and
progressive regions are those which are do
ing most for the improvement of their high
ways, their schools and their markets. Nor
is the reason ia rto seek, for upon these
great arteries of service depend the vigor
of all economic and social life. Without
good roads a people cannot buy and sell,
nor visit and cooperate as their best inter-
ests require; they cannot be the producers
or the merchants or the neighbors they
should be; they cannot sustain their schools
churches or any other constructive insti-
buttons they ought. Equally true it is
that without adequate markets the vital
needs and opportunities of agriculture will
suffer, along with those of commerce. AS
for good schools, it is evident to any dis
corning eye that where they are lacking, ma
terial prosperity cannot be gained in sub
stantia1 and permanent measure, and even
if it could, would not be worth having.

without the protection and love of
children that was her due as the
price of her motherhood. 1t is old
age with no safe snug harbor in
which to drop anchor at the end
of the stormy. voyage of life, and
as l look at it, 1 thank God that
such an old age never came to my
mother, and l pray Him that it may
never come to me.
Sometimes I go to the opera and
l see another old woman sitting in
her velvet lined box.
She is fat, and prosperous, and
and her superabundant flesh is laced
into straight front corset that is
an instrument of torture that es-
says in vain to give her portly,
middle age the slender figure Of six
teen. On her red and pudgy neck and
arms is plastered a fortune in jew
els. Her hair is dyed wonderful
warm young auburn. Her cheeks are
painted; her eyes Frightened with
belladonna; her decollette dress is
a fairy robe made of shimmering
silk, and lace and embroidery.
From head to foot she is a work

cures, complexion specialists, hair
dressers, corsetieres and costumers
have expended their choicest skill.
All that money and human in
genuity can do to ward off age and
conceal it's ravages has been done
and as she sits in her box she
smirks, and smiles, and flirts and
ogles, and apes the manners and
graces of girls young enough to be
her granddaughters.
Parasitic young men VINO like to
ride in her automobiles and eat her
dinners, and put up at her country
places, lean over her bare shoulders
and whisper insulting love talk to
her and befool her with lying COM
pliments, and she brides and beams
with delight, and goes on playing

CULTIVATE SIMPLICITY
Bv H. AddinqtOn Bruce

r is futile to wish, as many do, for return
of the eaSy-going, leisurely life of half a
century ago. The pressure of an increas-
ingly complex civilization has necessarily made
life more strenuous and must continue to do
So especially for city jewellers.
But it is not futile to wish for and to urge
an abatement of the strain of living by cultiva-
ton of simplicity in personal tastes, habits
standards and ideals.
Conditions may compel people to stress
themselves severely in the struggle for a live
lihood. They certainly do not compel over
stress outside of business hours. They do not
compel extravaganza of expenditures, social
rivalry, feveriSh chasing after entertainment.
Which is what we behold in every stratum
of society. Whirling dervisheS waste energy
no more recklessly and absurdly than hundreds
of thousands of our people.
One and all, these misguided folk lash them
selves eVerlastingly in Senseless competition for
material pleasures al. SatisfactionS.
One and all, they are miserable If they cam
not ape their neighbors in show and oSten-
tation. The costly game holds them captive
with strange fascination
They must have automobiles because other
people have them. They must wear expensive
clothes, eat expensive foods, because other peo-
sple do. Above all things they abhor the in
expensive.
When other people flock to winter resort
to summer resort thther they must flock, too
Or if they cannot get away from their work
cabaret and dance hall, to see others in all their
fnery and themselves to be see.
The home becomes little more than a sleep
ing place. Books are left unread. Conversation
is an art unknown.
And because quetude, repose, real relaxa-
ton must be had in some degree if health is
to be maintained, these devoteeS of the alb
normally intense suffer from varied ills
They help to swell the ever-riSng tide of
premature deaths from apoplexy, from heart
disease, from other disc !Ses of organic degen-
Grafton.
They help to crowd the hospitals for the
mentally sick. They keep the specialist in
nervous troubles eternaliy busy.
At best they confess themselves tormented
by a puzzling uneaSineSS and discomfort. Yet
the uneasineSS and dScontent-aS the apoplex-
les, heart failures, mental and nervous break
downS-are entirely Of their own making They
are the penalty of needless overStresS, of re-
fusa to cultivate simplicity, of inSistence on
spending ones hours of leisure in mad hub
bub outside the home.
eve need a "Back-to-the-Home" campaign
as much as we need anything else in these
troublouS times. Home life, quiet simple home
life, with neighbory visits back and forth, books
and music, Self-refreShing meditation, is the
remedy of remedies for our Keeling world.
And unless the joys of home life are once
more appreciated and abundantly known it is
safe to predict that the world will reel more
and more impotently to disaster.
