SHE ATl WHAT SHE JiiJERED Froze Waiter With Stare When He Started to u: fin n Menu F re run. A selt-po - e.~ id young woman strolled into one of tfie larger down town cafes. She spoke lo the waiter in that decisive tone which distin guishes the initiated, and glanced over the French hill of iare with the non-! ehalant air of a Fail i nno. "I'll have," (he lagan firmly, ns she plunged into the sea of French dishes. "I’ll have—let me see—Oh. yes. I'll have some his pi" tortoui, a Sultana roll, ponuues de ferre, and a little of that frontage. And, gareon, you might as well bring mo a cup of coffee.” The waiter gasped. He started to. speak but the young woman froze him with one of those Icy stares peculiar to Jilt' thoroughly sophisticated. And the order arrived two kinds of ices, boiled potatoes and a'piece of cheese. Hut she ate It as If she had been used to that sort of diet all her life. They say In restaurants, grill rooms and cafes that It’s quite customary lor guests to order boiled eggs and four varieties of stewed prunes when they really want a roast of pork and apple sauce. Thu young woman’s mistake was not unusual. Fill still the head waiters and the chela throw up their hands and with many gestures and with a perfectly good Swiss accent declare that the dear old langtie du France will never be stricken from bill of lures as long as they have a skillet or a rolling pin to light the project. SOME VICTORIES OF SCIENCE World Toc'ay Owes Pasteur Millions of Men Saved From Ravages of Plague. I-ouis Pasteur, a French chemist, Is the man of all others to whom the civilized world today owes Its health and its absolute certainty that the great epidemics of the past—Cholera, the plague, ship fever (sinullpox was conquered by an earlier genius) — cannot recur. It Is lie who discovered the microparasltlc origin of disease, or the germ theory aH it Is popularly called, upon which ulmost the entire science of preventive medicine Is founded, ami which lias shown the way to many of tin* greatest triumphs of the art of cure. It is as certain us anything can be In the domain of what lias not actually happened that, were It not for the development and practical application of the truths es tablished by Pasleur the world today would be mourning the loss of mil lions of men In every country in Eu rope and America from the ravages of the plague; the loss in money alone would have been Incalculable, while the paralysis of thought and of enterprise involved would have halted human progress for long years to come. Cholera would long since have hurst the confines of Russia and spread over i - rope, and traveling on ships from Europe iu the caul and the Philippines and continental Asia in the west it would have entered our land on both coasts (with such re sults us the statistics of the past may suggest to us i and taken its toll of those who had withstood or survived the plague. Good Housekeeping. Galluses. It is <’Iai i.< ! that the galluses are disappearing a: a feature of tlio ap parel. They are not artistic, and cer tainly not aristocratic; that is what is claimed. The idea is that if a trousers is properly cut and fitted it sets so neatly on the hips that it needs no support, and therefore the presence of suspenders indicates that the man’s apparel is the work of a cheap tailor, which it certainly not aristocratic. If suspenders are to go, there is a better reason titan this, and that is in the trick of the trade that leaves a weak point in the suspenders—u place that Is always breaking and annoying the wearer until Ids patience is gone. Then he gets a belt and goes without, suspenders, out of pure disgust. He would rather hitch up his trousers than tie up ids galluses. Hut tliis article of apparel is not dis appearing—not as long as feady-made clothing is the joy of most men. The suspenders necesarily go with this habit, since the kidlike adjustment about the ldps is impossible. An Old Garret on a Stormy Day. I know no nobler forage ground for a romantic, venturesome, mischievous boy, than the garret of an old family mansion on a day of storm, it is a perfect field of chivalry. The heavy rafters and dashing rain, the piles of spare mattresses to carouse upon, the big trunks to hide in, the old white coats and bats hanging in obscure corners lik< gin .1 are great! And it is so far away from tlie old lady, who keeps rule in the nursery, that there is no possible risk of a scolding for twisting off the fringe of a rug. There is no baby in the garret to wake up. There is no "company" in the garret to he disturbed by the noise. There is no crotchety old an cle or grandma, with their everlasting —"Boys—boys!"—and then a look of horror! Donald Cl. Mitchell. Cause of the Clash. “What was the trouble between Swdnton and ills wife? Was it his fault or hers that they were unable to get along together?” "It’s rather hard to decide. It ap pears that whenever one of them had an irresistible lmyvlse the other had an unalterable ejection.” Ovir Motto This Year Is: “THE BEST YET.” Not a thing missing, so far as we know.
