New York —The Van Dyck Studios
is one of the most discreet and decor
ous hotels in New York city. The
studios are full of artistic talent. That
is why they are called studios. The
musical perhaps predominates, but all
branches of art are represented and
all the day long may be heard the click
of the typewriter pounding out prose
and poetry, the swish of the paint
brush over the helpless canvas, the
plaint of punished pianos and the
smothered shrieks of incipient prima
donnas belng drowned in raging high
C's.
In the Van Dyck collection is a
young woman on the second floor who
slogs in a rich and melllfiuous con-
tralto, but just now she Is not sing
ing but talking bass, thanks to a cold.
On the same foor two maldens of un
certain age jointly occupy a studio
They are so nervously refined and
sensitive that they hang an apron over
the face of the clock when they seek
their downy couches. The other morn:

rooms for women, also for gentlemen
—and they are separate
While the contralto was laving lux-
uriantly in the limpid liquid she was
humming several notes to herself with
closed lips. At this very moment the
two sensitive spinsters appeared trip
pingly before the bathroom door, bear
ing soap and towels, to take their
modest matitutinal sponge
In guileless innocence they opened
the door and entered But they
stopped, tip tilted on thelr pale pink
toes, ere they had taken a second step
and gone too far. Horrors, what was
it they heard? The voice of the hoarse
contralto, but it sounded not so to
their tender ears. Appalled, they gave
one startled glance toward the slatted
door of the bath compartment and

“A man In the women's bathroom.”
they repeated as slowly and distinctly
as the nervous strain would allow
“Which one?" he asked, as If that
made any difference.
“The women's bathroom on
floor—this floor,” they explained
“How do you know?’ he inquired
next
“We heard him in there

he exclaimed, In shocked

“Just a minute ago.”
“Who Is he?
“How do we know?’ they both
screamed. “How do we know?"
Evidently he couldn't answer the
question, so he rubbed his head and
told them to go see the superintend
ent. The superintendent Is a chival
rous man and he was thoroughly fu-
dignant. He has sandy hair, but it
glowered flery red at their story, he
was that flerce.
“Remain here” he sald firmly, as he
waved his hand toward the side of the
ofMice where the safe and the burglar
alarm are, "nad 1 will see who the das

He strode along the hall to the bath
room door. He blushed as he laid his
hand upon the knob. The women
might be mistaken, He opened the
door, and as he stepped across the
threshold he heard the honk, honk of
a heavy voice emanating from a bath

“What are you doing in there, 1

“I'd like to know what you are do

from the compartment.
“Some women have just reported that
there is a man in the women's bath
room.”
“Well, you're the only man in the
women's bathroom that | know any:

unmistakably feminine, “and if you

PRETTY GIRL CHARGED
WITH BEING A WITCH
Farmer Asks Her Arrest, Declaring
She Cast Spell on His Son and
Whole Family. ’
Omaha, Neb.—Jacob Jarbens, a
wealthy farmer of Boyd county, be
lleves that witchcraft of the old Salem
sort Is still to be met with In this
country. He appeared at the office ©

the county attorney at Butte with a
complaint to the effect that Miss Jen.
nie Swartz, of Spencer, was a witch
and was gullty of practicing witch
craft and with a request that she be
arrested at once and made to answer
for her alleged crimes
Jarbens, who is 70 years old, told
his story with tears in his eyes His
20.yearold daughter was with him
Miss Swartz is attractive and ls em
ployed as a saleswoman io a big gen
eral store in Spencer
Jarbens alleges that his son, 21
years old, went to a dance and while
waltzing with Miss Swartz he found
suddenly that he was unable to put
one of his feet on the floor
He was led to a seat and became
hysterical, laughlug and crying by
tums. He insisted that the gir] with
whom he danced had bewitched him
He went into the open air and after a
time the spell wore off. Later in the
evening, unable to resist her, he
danced with the young woman again,
with the same result. This time the
spell did not wear off until some one
went to the Jarbens farm and quoted
from the scripture. It relieved the
young man for a time, but the spells
have returned at intervals
The young mau was sent from his
home to another part of the state
finally, in the hope that the alleged
witch's spell might be broken for
good. After he was sent away. how
over, the father declared, spe ls were
cast upon other members of his family
and stock belonging to him died
Jarbens was deeply disappointed to
learn that there was no law on the
statute books of Nebraska covering
witchcraft and that consequently uo
legal action could be taken by the
connly attorney to redress his griey

LAZY DORA
“By the way, Aunt Sally,” said
young Mrs. Billings—and the fact that
she stopped rocking to say it was a
sign of its Importance—" there's a
question I've been saving to ask you
a8 SO0n As you came, and it was all |

you remember ‘Lazy Dora?”
“Do 1 remember her? The active
looking, black eyed woman sat erect.
“Could I forget her? Of all the shift

“Sakes alive!" she added, turning
to the neighbor from the floor below,

You'd need to see her to believe she
was true. My nlece and 1 gave her
that name, just between oursejve 8, and
it fitted. We knew her in Idaho, when
my husband was doing a plece of en-
Eineering out there, and we were
boarding with her mother —a sensible,
industrious woman as ever was
‘There was plenty for Lazy Dora to
do, but no—she'd lle abed untill time
to dress for dinner—that was at noon
—and then she'd appear and talk to
the men—young engincers. you know

novels or sleep until evening when
the men were home again. Then she'd
come to life in earnest. My, how

in, "do you remember the young en-
gineer who was so crazy over her?”
“Do I? Rufus Chandler was his
name. Poor man'”
_ Mrs. Blllings laughed softly ‘You
see, auntie had an eye on him for me”
‘she explained to the neighbor from the
floor below. “She didn’t know at the

Sally persisted ‘If he ever

“Aunt Sally,” announced Mrs Bil

“You don’t say! Poor fellow!”
“And he's blissfully happy
“Then maybe he's made enough
money to keep her In idle luxury.”
“No; he's hard up. He's told Jack
about his financial troubles, but he

“No; he does her own

provisions for the dinner he's golog

up a wire frame to hold her book, so
that she can read without getting
tired”
“Eunice Billings!”
“It's all true. Sometimes she mus-
ters energy to meet him down on the
front steps, and then he puts down his
parcels and carries her up two flights
of stairs and comes running down
again after his meat and vegetables
looking as If she'd given him a king-
