on her walls, some of them reproduc-
tions Of things within reach-the

white bowl on the table, luscious
piece Of watermelon or bursting red

Mrs. Bridweu had never painted in
her life until a day in 1888 when she
called on a friend who was a student
at the Corcoran Gallery OF Art. Per-
haps infected by the art in the air" ="
she began to draw a picture OF a
mountain on Skyline Drive. Sug-
costing the use of color. the artist
handed over some pastels. Her
friend informed her that she def
nitely had q picture She brought 1t
home, and continued to work.
The next step in her art career
was taken when she found an in
structor. Into her music studio one
day came a young man who asked
about using one OF the pianos to
practice. I'VE snapped" said Mrs.
Bridwell. "I offered to teach him to
play the piano II he would give me
lessons In painting
Apparently the deal was q happy
one. Mrs. Bridwell has produced
innumerable pictures, and exhibited
at the local Art Fair in 1914, again
this year, and also at an art fair in
New York City. The young man,
became proficient at the piano.

that came only after many, many
weeks Of racing through the streets
after clues and leads to shelter.
After the initial relief Of just hav-

we realized that we were living in
what had once been rooming house
and had been abandoned-or very
nearly so!
The landlady warned us, and very
fairly too, that we would be with
out hot water for some days after
we moved in. AS to the other
calamities which befell us and the
house Immediately following our ar
rival, we had no warning! No sooner
was the hot water under control
than the furnace, wearied Of many
years of loyal service, simply ex-
ploded early one morningl But even
then, we were slow In realizing that
this was only the beginning. In the
months that have followed we have
entertained more-and more plumb

estimaters, a gay little man who laid
some linoleum for us, and crew of
cleaning ladies to whom passed out
sandwiches and coffee at the noon

overnight guests than ever before.
One morning I went upstairs and
found three of a group Of relatives
and friends that had chosen this
particular time to come to town, all
soundly sleeping away, while, high
on a ladder above their heads a
painter painted the ceiling.
For few weeks we had a maid
who afforded us a goodly quota of
humor She "aspired" toward the
violin, she told US Her every COM
ment was prefaced with the con-
f1dence, "Ta be quite frank whi'cha'
and she insisted on putting pine
apple into all salad be it fruit, vege-
table, or-fish!
olle tVelllllR We were lIlVlteu W
dinner by gentleman VINO was bent
upon putting little cheer in our
lives at time when it was des-
perately needed. We went to a
pleasant supper club where we ate,
drank, and were merry with reserve,
we thought. The cheer, this par
ticular evening, cost our host for
four of us, $100-that's including
the tip, Of course!
But now, all that is behind us.
Summer has come, our apartment is
painted and clean as anything can
be in New York. Out the back win
dow can see my small garden
growing nicely and, beyond it, thrust
between pots Of blooming geraniums
and out into the sunshine, the
gouted feet Of an aged neigkboring
apartment dweller. On the street
the hurdy-gurdy's being played
without the monkey, but an air of
tranquility has descended.
How long can 1t last?
