Also, she must have bean one of those homemade women Who had never heard tell of self- serving, for ghe waited, and waited, and— 2 s ‘While she waited, a young man came In, hung up. his hat and over- coat, and was hrisking toward a tray when the -woman, having reached a stage where patience had ceased to i be a virtue, beckoned him over to her lllbl& She had mistaken him for a waiter, and while she gave her order the surprised embarrassment, the al- i | most instant understanding and the humorous kindliness of a fine chap who knows how to play the game, made his face a motion picture that was worth walking miles to see— providing one be fond of walking. He took the order as politely as any waiter that ever was, and when he had returned with her tray he spread the dishesbefore her in professional style, presented her with a napkin, and, laying hér change beside her plate, went off, helped himself to his own trayful. took it to a near-by table. and began to eat. This put the woman in an obvious panic of wonderment, but whether she made amends of any sort was be- vond the knowledge of the society writer who had been taking the Inci- dent in. As she passed the young man in going Qut, however, she felt bound to touch bim on the shoulder and say the thing thet was in her heart: “You are the most finished diplomat I have ever come across—and your kindness was something fine.” He returned her confabby smile and put in a protest at the compliment that had come his way: “Oh. that was nothi it was funny, waen't it? And that’s all, only—won't the girl be lucky who gets him? ¥ (4 ) b to do—but * ¥ ¥ T\vo plain ‘sort of men’ loitering along ‘in " the ‘disk passed a mound of cement in front of an un- finished building. “Great Caesar dead and turned to clay!” One said it to the other as they went their road, sharing 2 chuckle between them. Naturally, a quotation like that i lwould set 'you to wondering what the noblest Roman of them all had to do with building material, but— honest: The big mound, lighted at head and foot with red lantern lights and covered with canvas to protect it from the weather, somehow suggested a catafalque, and & couple of planks laid on top of the canvas to welgh it down had accidentally taken the form of a cross. { |, Being as how the bier of poor : | Julius knew neither cross nor eccles- lastic tapers. the man's remark would be too small beer of another sort to take notice of. except that the world, being made of atoms, provides an excuse, and, besides: It is right smart comforting to know "that the classics have some plain-clothes men walking in the dusk around this town. Which sounds mean, seeing that one may lead a good life and go to heaven without ever having bothered with Julius and his kind—but what says Wisdom? - “The truth is mighty and must prevail.” * % k% THE school child is about the most important factor in civic life. And any one who insists on its betterment may claim kinship with that smge; who lives in Homer and who is “a| friend to man.” But also any idea! important enough to find a place in print_ must expect to run the gant- let of criticism—uwith this atom of an | illustration to go by. Two women in: a store were swapping opinions. ‘He says to put all the schools to- gether on 10,000 acres of land in the northwest, instead of having them all over the city, because the children | have to ride in the cars anyhow, and distance wouldn’t matter. He ought to live in my neighborhood, where most of the kids are too poor to ride, ‘{even in stormy weather. Beside: look how. early we would have to have their breakfast to get them all that distance by 9 o'clock! And if they made the hour later it would be taking from their study time. Poor children have to go to work so young that they couldn't afford to miss a minute. T _know that's how I feel| about my Paul.” “If it was me, I'd divide the acres land have one school in the southeast “No, sir! | AROUND THE CITY | sanitary like.

Be-i sides all that, as my husband says,i where are you going to get 10,000 acres in the northwest that jun’t Suhe divided into bullding lots—unless you want to take up all a child's’ time riding to school and back again. Andl what's the use of spending sll thet money on. ground to teach farming and cows and chickens to children who are going to work right here in the city?" “Well, if it was me, I'd Paul's mother didn't seem to be finding fault for the sake of being | disagreeable. you understand. She was just criticising the published suggestion because her mind was set In a different Key. And probably be- cause she had more practical knowl- edge of the composite school child than .any onlooker In Venice who merely thoyght up something beau- tifully aliruistic because he had that sort of mind. And yet—Friend John- son could tell him that a happy val- ley made for other prople i3 never a success—with Rasselas for proof! Lord Riddell warned the ladies the other day to be sure and understand a problem before discussing it, but Paul's mamma didn’t wait. | She piled on 9,000 acres too many and scooped in all grades when the proposi- tion was limited to high school—prob- ably for the reason that she couldn’t take in a proposition that falled to in- clude her Paul—a little habit that most of us have, one way or another—ever notice? * k% WWASHINGTON'S gunshine poetess has gone on a journey. There is no map to show the route she took, but It is generally understood to be on the other side of an uncharted sea. And it must have been a happy | Journey, for she started on it alone, | with no fear whatever, though she! was 8o tiny and frail. Which, per- haps—perhaps—may be the' reason| why travelers never return from that | Shakespearean bourne—it is such a| joyous place that you couldn’t ylayl them to come back. It is one reason, anyhow. If ever you saw that little sunshine poetess swinging along on her crutches as airily as a flower swings in a breeze, it must have touched your heart and Inspired your courage to see the smile of her—ga if, some- how, she was throwing kisses at a fate’ that had been unkind. i One time, when Roosevelt was rid- | ing with & comrade of the Spanish | war, he halted rein to lift his hat at| sight of the tiny figure in summery white, with her brown hair ‘rippling over her sorrow-touched shoulders— though she did not see him. And he sald to his brother officer: “There goes a braver, harder fight- ing soldier than either you or 1.
