Friday I had to wait for hour today
before I could get a stage. It wa annoying
for a while. There I stood on the corner ot
Thtrty-fourth street for fully fifteen min
ute. It would be so nice If they had
comfortable chair for people to sit in
while they are watting. They might have a
little table with some book and maga
stnea near by. I am sure anyone who
opened such a pla-e would make a great
deal of money. For, of course, they conld
charjre po muoh a minute. I finally asked a
policeman if the stages were running.
He was awfully nice anJ said he didn't
know.
I waited a little longer, and, as he was so
good looking, I thought I would ask htm
again if he was sure he didn't know. He
wa really nicer than be was at first, but
ald he did know that he didn't know.' I
aaked him what I could do? He said if
there was anything he could do for ma he
would do It.
He evidently had the nicest disposition,
but, of courea, he couldn't really do any
thing. I wanted to take a hansom dread
fully, but It seamed too extravagant I
