They fought between tables like Titans, and glasses coll ¢4, and men caught their hats up and were knocked down, and @ brunetge screamed, and a blonde be gun to wing “Teasing.” My cosmopolite was sustaining the pride and reputation of the Harth when the waiters closed in on both combatants with thelr famous flying wedge formation and bore them out side, still resisting. I called McCarthy, one of the French garcons, and asked him the cause of the conflict. “The man with the red tie” (that ‘was my coemopolite), maid he, “goJ hot on account of things said abs the bum sidewalks and water supply of the place he came from by the other guy.” “Why,” said I, bewildered, “that man ts a citizen of the world—e com mopolite.
