High Art and
Hairpin
By EOLA FORRESTER
Coprright 1KB by Ruby Douglas
Mr Asqulth la out by himself yet
Bald the tailor who bad his shop on the
ground floor of Washington square
He held the door half open and Ilelcnc
paused with one toot ou the narrow
flight of stairs leading to the studio
Bhe was frankly disappointed to have
come so far for nothing She hesitat-
ed glancing back doubtfully at the
waiting cab
Did lie say when he would be
back
He not ever say when answered
the tallqr positively with sweeping
Hungarian ossertlod He goes thesi
he comes again The door is open
Then I think that I shall wait
Helene smiled with sudden pleasure
I am sure he will come soon He
must have expected me and left the
door open
Sure he must agreed the tailor
cordially It was entirely probable If
there had Jeen the slightest chance of
IT WAS MEBEIT A XIAIUPJX
the fleffint of such a radiant young
go fl H bla uc uac no doubt but
knlth < lveAjii astntP of
I eTual expectancy
Helene went quickly upstairs At the
second flight there was no landing
The top step ended abruptly at a door
and the celling sloped in an angle to
meet the top of the door She lifted
the old fashioned latch and looked In
her heart beating faster The studio
was empty
For an Instant she hesitated She
had never been In his studio It seem-
ed like an Intrusion into some Intimate
personal part of his life in which she
with all his love for her had uo bliare
But because of that very privacy she
wanted to intrude She wanted to see
how he lived here in his own little den
where he did his work the work that
was to win him fame and fortune be-
fore the world the den where he
dreamed his dreams of the future In
which she had so great a share
She pushed the door farther open
lifted her soft light skirt of silk higher
from the dusty stair and went Into the
studio closing the door after her
It was n half celled attic the nearest
approach to a Parisian atelier that As
qulth could find In New York There
was a skylight lu the high peaked roof
and wide heavy cross beams visible to
the naked eye marked the ejve line
There was no burlap on the walls no
Turkish nigs on the floor no Dutch
shelves nor steins not eien n taboret
or samovar It was simply a work-
shop A huge black walnut easel stood
crosswise facing the north light Be
foreit stdod a rush bottomed chair and
a low table littered with brushes paint
tubes and half mixed colors A dingy
well daubed blouse laj over the back
of the chair and a pipe half smoked
rested on the easel ledge Helene haw
It all at one glance and laughed Joyous-
ly tremulously She had never felt her-
self so near to hhn as now What a
boy he was after all and how funny
he must look In that old blouse She
sat down In the rush bottomed chair
and leanedher head back against the
sleeve of the blouse
The walls were liare eeept for half
finished charcoal uud pen and Ink stud-
ies with here and there a water color
The black and white studies were
strange to her but the landscapes < all
bore the harne straggling signature
Hugh AMiultli
i That Avas all Not a hlngle Venus nut
a cast of uii thing In sight Asqulth
was strictly a landscape artist and did
not paint the figure Vaguely she had
been pleased that he did not Of course
if one were devoted to art mid must
paint tiio figure then one must have
models and models must necessarily
be beautiful and
Right there Helenes logic ended but
it was sutlicicnt She was glad that
Asqulth was n landscape artist and did
not require any model wn e old Mother
Nature
She drew off her long mousquclain
gloves with a sigh of content On the
third finger of her left hand sparkled
a diamond It had been there oier a
month now With n sudden Impulse ns
the glores slipped to the floor she press-
ed the ring ngalnst her lips It stood
for so uuch more than a mere engage-
ment They had known each other a
Jong time two seasons and sua htS
met him every winter at dinners aafi
swell dances But this summer it had
been different Asqulth said It was
fate Helene thought it the most dell
clous bit of maneuvering love had ever
managed
The rest of the family had gone to
Europe Helene had hcltatcd Be-
tween an automobile tour of Brittany
and the Baltic coast and n quiet sum-
mer with her married cousin at Larch
inont she had chosen Larchmont As
qulth was a member of the yacht club
at Larchmont livery morning from
the broad oranda at Bay view cottage
she could see him out on the rocks
sketching before sunrise
They were splendid rocks huge
gaunt and gray they rose raggedly
from the water at low tide like the
bodies of home submerged sea mon-
sters One could walk to them easily
stepping oer little pools luft by the
tide and stray strands of seaweed and
one morning Helene walked to them
slim and sweet and fresh aVi the dawn
In her white dress and white low
shoes It was the felloes that did it
When Asqulth turned at her call for
help he found her standing In one of
the pools and the white shoes were
ruined
Helene glanced up at the wall A
little water color huug near her some
gray rocks In a rose tinted sea with n
bit of bait marab In the foreground
She smiled at It happily They had
sat up there together that morning and
she had taken off her hlioes and stock-
ings the precious ruined shoes and
stockings and that had been all
And Asqulfh had said It was fate
She laughed again He was such a
boy after all She stopped to pick up
her gloves aud stopped bhort to look
at something ljlng on the floor at her
feet It was merely a hairpin She
picked it up and looked at It curiously
Her own hairpins were brown tortoise-
shell ones to match her hair This one
was gold a small Insidious gold wire
affair very cheap and very dainty
The laugh was gone from her lips
In Its place was a look of wonderment
of almost fear There had been a wo-
man in Hughs studio a woman with
blond hair who wore gold wire hair-
pins who dropped gold wire hairpins
around promiscuously And Hugh had
told her he never painted the figure
More than that he had told her that
no one knew of his den in the attic ex-
cept herself aud a few close friends
He had uo patrons no buyers of pic-
tures becnuse as yet he had never sold
any All of his relatives were In Eu-
rope too If the hairpin did not belong
to a model whom did It belong to
With a sudden fierce impulse she
threw the bairplu away from her It
fell with a tiny clink against the walk
Almost instantly she had repented
After all It was purely a personal
affair with Hugh in which she had
noIpart He hail notexpected her to
visit bis studio She had no right to
resent another element of femininity
which she bad found there Even if
he did hate models It was probably
necessary All artlstss had to study
from life sooner or later But was It
necessary that they should have hair
that matched gold hairpins
She arose aud crossed the room to
where the hairpin had fallen For a
moment she held it in her band lrreso
lute Then slowly she laid it ou his
table and beside It she left the new
solitaire ring It would be enough She
knew that he would understand As
she turned to the door her eyes filled
with a sudden rush of blinding tears
and as she felt for the latch it lifted
aud the door opened
It was not Asqulth On the landing
outside stood a girl plump rosy check
ed and red ihalrcd holding up her
skirts In one hand aud a pall of scrub
water In the other
Oh I thought Mr Asqulth was
home she bald apologetically I Just
cleaned up Ills place maam and I
guess I lost one of my hairpins Its a
little wire one but I need It to keep my
pug uji tight
I laid it ou the table said Helene
gently The girl set the pall dowu on
the stairs aud secured the hairpin fas-
tening up her tumbling red curls with
It deftly
Thank you maam she called as
she went downstairs and Helene went
back to the table and slipped the ring
in Its old place Just as Asqulth came
up the stairs <

Of Edwin Booth Mr Whitney re

of n Ietruchio and tills cost me sev-

over small trout He got In one day
from a neighboring town n new fairly
good bamboo fly rod which I assisted
him In setting up arranging the reel
and line and pllnblc soaked leader and
left lilin afterward noosing on a scar-
let Ibis The rod was lying on the din-
ing room table I was no sooner out of
the rooms on the porch when I heard
a tremendrtiw rumpus In the dining
room nml entering found Booth flying
nlmut the room like a madmuii He
had left his fly hanging over the side
of tln > tabic which the half grown fam
lly cat piesent seeing struck at with
Its paw which the sharp book caught
In and the flightened rxt bolted under
the tabic with rapid speed breaking
the rod tlii and dragging the rod after
while Booth crying Scat cut had
no effect on the now crazed feline
which he was fol iwnig after In great
evcltetnent at high pressure with ad
Jetthus of singular note The sequel
of this was the escape of the it with
the gaudy fly well hooked In Its fool
and n well smashed up roil I wms ton

In by the commotion to render any

laughter confessing that his fishing ex-
