i i 1 S r ft i I P ii rgaTyntrtTrHfyi7iir HER PREDICAMENT She Had Lunch With the Man She Hated Most It wouldnt have been so bad said the girl from the Bronx as she sank wealdy onto her friends divan and reached for a cup of tea if ho had been a perfect stranger but to find yourself sitting opposite the man you hate most in all the world and have vowed never to speak to again to find yourself sitting opposite him I say and eating dinner at his expense can you imagine anything more tragic But you could have left or or explained began her hostess No I couldnt wailed the girl front the Bronx How are you going to ex plain anything to anybody without speaking to him And I had vowed I wouldnt by all the gods big and little And besides it happened so naturally well Ill tell you all about it New York is a pretty big place but I find that when there is anybody In town whom you particularly dont want to meet the town gets so cramped that you always are stepping on one an others toes At any rate you always are running across the people you dont want to see and you never by any chance run across somebody that you are dying to see So of course it was only a week after we had quarrel ed and separated forever that the thing happened I had been shopping all morning and when noon time came I was just so tired that I thought I would just take an elevator to the lunch room of the department store instead of go ing home You know how crowded those places are at noon Well when I reached this one it looked like the zoological gardens at feeding time Everybody in town seemed to be eat ing there and there wasnt a table left only a seat opposite a gentle man the waiter informed me and he asked me if I would mind occupying it I was so hungry and exhausted that I would have been glad to eat opposite a polar bear so I was only too grateful to be allowed to sit oppo site the gentleman I followed the waiter through the f lanes made by tables and had dropped down in my chair before I glanced at the gentleman and then I discovered to my horror that he wasnt a gentle man at all and just the rudest most overbearing man I ever knew and the very one I had quarreled with the week before Of course he might have risen and gone away but he didnt And then another waiter came over for my order and took the gen tlemans at the same time I got awfully busy fussing with my wraps and my gloves but he just sat there not seeming to notice me after the first stare of blank amazement It seemed to me I dropped everything I possessed in rapid fire succession Say how long does it take to make soup anyway It seemed fully three quarters of an hour before that blessed waiter returned bringing a tray with a tureen on it And when he did ap pear he set the tureen down in front of him instead of me And that wasnt the worst The next thing he did was to take two plates wipe them off with his serviette and place them in front -of that man Then before I could catch my breath or scream or some thing he was gone and he was pass ing me a plate of soup I accepted that plate with as good a grace as possible and determined to get a cup of coffee and a roll and dis appear But fate and that waiter were against me I was only half through my soup when that waiter came sailing back with a tray con taining two orders of fish He had ordered fish for himself it seems and the idiot took it for a double or der I dont believe up to that time he really intended to make a joke of it but when he saw how things were going it entered his soul to push them along a little I would have refused the fish but by the time I caught my breath the waiter had disappeared again and I wouldnt speak to him Besides how could I have explained to the waiter Neither one of us had told him that we were not together when he brought the soup and we could hardly explain that we had made each others ac quaintance during that course I was in for it So I merely gulped and went through the courses silently one after another But I didnt speak And neither did he It got to be a sort of painful pleasure after awhile and I could easily imagine how the early Christian martyrs felt when they en dured slow torture for the sake of their principles I had triumphantly swallowed the last drop of coffee when the waiter appeared with the bill Then I rose to the occasion I fixed that waiter with my eye Bring two bills I commanded steadily And though the man jumped he said nothing and took the bill back and brought two separate ones He undoubtedly took me for a womans suffrage crank But I opened my pock- etbbok nonchalantely and then my Lord EdithJ I had only 60 cents anLtheJ3ill jvas85 cents- -- Oh dont ask me how it turned - out Dont ask me anything I dont - know what happened except that I turned -to him and then to the waiter and felt my face grow hot hotter and hotter and then I tried to speak and couldnt And the way that man sat back and waited and made me speak was was just like him But I do admire a man that has a character and and a little spunk cfonl you dith r Half a -million grouse and nearly half a million partridges are killed yearly in Great Britain VALUABLE FORMULA WELL KNOWN AUTHORITYCLAIMS IT 13

There is one feeling I sure would like to have before I die said the thoughtful young man as he looked up from the magazine story he was reading And what is that asked his com panion who sat looking out of the club window I should like to feel a berserk rage whatever that is that all these novel heroes have when things go wrong with the heroine But perhaps he sighed drearily I shouldnt know It if I had it I might think it was hives or indigestion or epilepsy com ing over me Its an awful thing not to have an education Judge Organizing Booth Revival Marie Edwina Rosalie Booth daugh ter of Junius

Warned by Fish Many anglers have great faith in fish as weather prophets If a storm Is approaching they say the fish stop biting and they wont bite again until the storm is past They also foretell the near approach of cold weather Hours before it comes fish leave the shallow waters in shore and seek deep er water which owing to its depth will stay warm and keep an equable temperature after the shallower and surface waters are cold Energetic Claridon Women That the women of East Claridon have fallen heir to the masculine en ergy which built the Tiouses and farms around this neighborhood is
