**STARTING LIFE AGAIN.

NO FAME WITH PEN,

MR. Q. R. SIM'S ANSWER. The question What would you do.it you started life again, which the Globe) has submitted to many well-known people, is answered by Mr. . R. Sims, the famous writer, in a delightful article below... Looking back over an evenful career he thinks he would begin very much the same, but would shape his life in after years in La different way,

If I had my life to start over again thank goodness I haven't!I think I should begin again very much where I did before. I might. in view of post-youth pains and penalties.. be more careful in my dies in my student days. I do not think I should in my eighteenth and nine- teenth years live mainly on ven cutleis and red cabbage pan-cakes and potato salad, raw ham and rapherry vinegar, sauerkraut, herring sand, and Frankfort xa ange. I might also go to bed a little earlier, say at two o'clock in the morning instead of four or five. I should put in as much foreign travellás ciréumstances would permit. I should go about my own coun-, try and other people's countries as much as I could, studying men and women, bas I think I should try to find a cheaper form of amusement than backing the wrong horses on a tree-course, and the wrong numbers on roulette board, and if I ran short of the extra money needed for the full sampling of the joys of life I bould try and find somep who would let me have it at less than sixty per cent. If I had a good chance in the City, as T had in my original adventure. I should not ancrifice the curtainty in order to earn a precarionivelihood with my pen and subject myself to the 'demoralising effects of casual employment. I should- reient- lessly crush any ambition I might have in the direction of fame or docoriety, and do my best to lend the life of a comfort- ably circumstanead City man, with his evenings at his own disposal and other people to do his work and earn money for. him while he was away holiday-making. I should start life with the object of mak- ing comfortable competency in a busines in which I why my own master and of building up a home that was a home and not n workshop with no conditions as to the hours of labour. And I should from the Srst, endeavour, to attain a clear and Tegible handwriting. Then if my lady typist suddenk, developed influenza I should not be I am now→→→stering- helplessly at pages of M.

STREETS OF SHUT WINDOWS.

DO DOCTORS PRACTISE WHAT THEY PREACHI

Harley street, judged by the standard of inteiligence laid down by the Minister of Education, has been found sadly wanting.

Mr. Fisher confided to a meeting of en- thats on the abject of national hygiene the other day that humanity might be divided into two parts-those who opened their windows and those who kept them closed. He added that he would not be satisfied with the achievements of our educational aystem until the unregenerate section which failed to open its windows was merged in that of the open-window party.

Doctors and clergymen in the audience applanded Mr. Fisher's remarks with vigour, but a census of the houses where the great doctors dweli, laken by a Daily Erpres representative, showed that the "medien world fails to practise what it

preaches.

Harleystreet is the street of the shut windows.

Not 10 per cent. of the windows of that famous thoroughfare of medicine were open and had the attic windows been excluded from the census the percent- age would have been lower still.Open windows on the ground and first floors al were rare. Here and there a second-floor bedroom window was open a few inches, and # the only general

"rule open-vindow applied to the top-storey windows.

OFFENDERS. Typical offenders who failed to come up, to the elementary standard of intelligence demanded by the Education Minister were | Sir Johil Tweedy, with only one open win- dow out of fourteen looking on Harley- street; Sir George Anderson Critchett, with two open cut of twelve; and Sir James Castile, with three out of fourteen."

No. 13. where Dr. Elizabeth loan Chasser lives, has five windows thrown open to the air-the record for the street. This might be regarded as a feather in the cap of the woman doctor, but at the other end of Harley-street the house of Dr. Mary Scharlieb,, a great believer in the alue of plenty of fresh air, presented in array of uniformly closed windows.

Wimpole street, where so many of the fashionable physicians dwell, was worse than Harley-street in its neglect of such an essential asset to good health "as the open window. Sir William Hale White's fourteen windows were ail care fully closed, na were Sir Bertrand Dar
