Still, even for the price of a good sweater. 7 OU notice the crowds that mass around newspaper . bulldings when base ball returns are given out? Thousands. All men. In business hours. So far as one person, singular num- Dber, neuter gender, is concerred, it is beautifully all right. The hosanna- llke roars that boomed up to a sev- enth-story window the other day was i there, you can 'meet .up with ad- venture. For one small proof: A man, sauntering through, became interested in a cofn collectlon, and was puzzling over some label he couldn’t quite make out, when an- other man kindly came up and ex- plained. - He was the donor of the ¢ains and he visits them every few. days to see ifjothers appreciate them enough to compensate for the sacrifice of giv- ing up a hobby that meant so much. | 7that F Sale women’s silk hose Where prices are guaranteed 7th a — Women’s comfy tF WOOL mackinaws, un- derstand—the American boy’s outdoor coat.

All her life she had longed for a “merit” of some sort, frustrated ambitions ‘that hungered in turn for Sunday school cards for catechism, pink blos- som wreaths for good little A.

For each o these she had tugged and lost, and then, poor soul, even missed out on a wedding ring— ke died—and at present date, all the reward Time has given her for a Wwomanhood of toll is a couple of rvoms without even a kitchenette, but anyhow: The other night she went to a birth- day party given by another woman Who keeps step with her along the great road, and, bless goodness! there was a contest With prize attached— sweater of ivory wool flossed around the edges with silk. Just fine! When everybody—meaning seven old girls and a couple of poor old boys to match—women manage to gather grapes along with the this- tles of the years, but oldish, home- Jess men always seem kin to Ho- garth’s “orphan boy.” ~ Ever notice? Well, the two men and seven women were nice and ready for whatever was to happen before time came to pass around the hand tray, that was itself handed down when Miss Cordella, who was giving the party—but, naturally, no mention was made of how many she had had before—took from the piano a framed cartoon made a long ‘way back, when Wash- ington had broom sweeps at crossings and life was joyously young. It was drawn by Arftist Sol Etynge, if the name means anything these days, and was entitled, “Mr. Pickwick's Recep- tion.” 1 The sketch picfures dhat immortal ehief of a club that will never ad- Journ so long as the world loves hu- man nature set to print. He is seat- ed, and standing at the back of his chair is Sam Weller, introducing to his master the characters of Dick- ens” works, each member of the mul- titude so individually presented that each could be named, provided you love your Dickens. Some of the old girls and boys recognized most of the party, but Miss Juliana knew them all. The sweater was too small for her, of course, which did not matter, see- ing she never wears one, but think of the honor of knowing Mr. Pick- wick's guests as intimately as Samivel did—at this time of day in literature, ‘when most of us run and fox trot as we read. All of which makes a good deal of type to use up on Miss Juliana, un- less, perhaps, it may remind you, of i the very now, to hunt up hidden junk that you cannot sell and hate to give away. And it may be that on some old top shelf or packed in a trunk of handed-down rubbish, or in some old corner where you keep gran'pa’s Methuselah books, and faded wall map, and that pair of wabbly globes, “terrestrial and celestial,” that no an- cient scholar could get along without and which you are going to dump on the Salvation Army some day, you: may come across “Mr. Pickwick’s Re- ception.” And if you do you will have found a gold mine of pleasure, provided you like the company of those present.
