Now, it might be the m of his finger-nails on the tender flesh of various portions of his body, but inspection next morning revealed & number of irritated sectors. The cold gray dawn fousd a motley sing sieepy-eyed. Not a word d besides: " Reporter Gets “Inside Facts” At Municipal Lodging House To get a first-hand insight on the way in which guests of the munlci- pal lodging house are treated, a Star representative epent last night there. The treatment, taken as a whole, was all that could be expected. True, he had to go to sleep on a sort of rubber sheeting. on the upper tier of a two-decked cot, and his robe de nuit was a rather soiled night- gown, which was grabbed from a hook and handed to him._ Also, it was probably Imagination which caused him to feel itchy throughout the night, and it was mot the fault of the keepers of the Louse that an- 'other guest in the same room was affected with pedal perspiration. It was 2 light night at the lodging house last might. It was a normally quiet one. The guests there do not talk much. two dozen words were Rout the whole of \the pre-retirement and the getting- up periods As for cleanliness, the place did not evidence of a single roach or an as show rat. amd the floors were ‘as cl could be expected méeting.

P the block.” ch? other four, each of them wafting up the sealrs at short intervals, encased in the nebulous nighties, unshaven faces peeping above them. The night passed quietly, after the wayfarer got to sleep. Previously, though, his big toe started itching. “It's imagination,” thought he. Then the ftch spread to the next toe and started going slowly up the line. Several “Irritated Sectors.” “Imagination,” he said “flercely to himself, and refused to scratch them. By the time the itches had reached the vicinity of his chest he started to the baths—no more baths, however— and dressed; then sat about, covertly smoking hand-rolled cigarettes and| huh.” They rose and went to the flyor of| digging fists into the sleepy eves. | ‘When the morning chéres started, each seized his special implement—a number seemed to) be old-timers at the place—and got to work, paying no attention to the new visitor. b Escapes Morning Work. The desk sergeant was sitting at his post. “Any work for me?" he was asked by the reporter. “Not this morning.” The reporter looked around a num- ber of times, felt his loneliness in contradt to the general industry about him, and silently slunk out, to tell the first friends he met that he had been on an all-night fishing trip.
