HALF A CENTURY FAILURE

Ie it's business efficiency you
mean, il it's financial achievement

That until she was beyond the

Whereas today, IL years later,

Miss Dutton had her own way to
make in the world. She is %acquatn-
ted with farm life. She has taught.
She has tried running a %roonaing
house. She has launched numerous
small commercial enterprises. She
couldn't get ahead. She couldn't
even keep up, a good deal OF the
time.
n She Could Cook
During ali those years she was
being complimented continually up
on ono accomplishment she possess
ed, an accomplishment, however,
which she never tried turning to
business advantage. She was a won

talked about it.
Nevertheless it was not until she
had failed at everything else she
could think Of that it occurred to
her to OF. a restaurant. h did

- ONDON. The clearance Of
slums In districts south or
- the Thames will shortly
affect an area that is well known
to lovers of Dickens.
:. Dockhead, or Jacobs Island to
use the Dickensian name, is that
neighborhood in the Borough OF
Southwark which is graphically
described in chapter so of "Oliver
Twist"
In Dickens time the island was
surrounded by Folly Ditch, and g.
stranger, he said, looking from
one of the wooden bridges thrown
across it at Mill Lane, would see
the inhabitants Of the houses on
either side lowering from their
back windows buckets and pals,
in which to haul up the water.
Then he. would see crazy wood
en- galleries common to the backs
Of half a dozen houses, with
holes from which to look upon
the slime beneath; windows broken
and patched, and every indication
Of filth, rot and garbage.
Folly Ditch was filled long ago,
but many of the sQualid buildings
still remain, It was to one OF
these wretched houses that Bill
Skies escaped after numbering
Nancy, and where he met his
doom.
The appearance Of the district
has altered very little since those
times The whole area is a mass
of ugly bridges, factories and
houses, and these are to make
way for a housing scheme on up
to-date' lines.
