FIVE-CENT TELEPHONE RATES. _ Five-cent telephone rates, which are promised for July 4, will mean ily what two-cent postage meant and five-cent street-car fares. Under ie largely extended service of the company the reduction is warranted as (00d business policy. The public was longsago entitled to the concession.

The grasshopper was riding in the large-style gasoline herdics with wine agents and out-of-town buyers, ant going to roof gardens and Coney and other places where the frivolous do their frivoling. She wore the peek-a-booest blouee that the hammock face tory could turn out. It was something like a fiy-net, only the strands were farther apart. She had hara hard time finding places to sew the button to, Her ploture hat was the mest expensive thing in feathers that had been noted since the Great Auk perished from the earth. A cynic might have said ehe put all her money on her back, but he would have to acknowledge that the back was getting its money's worth. The ant was not pretty but she was earnest. She often comforted herself with the thought that beauty is only skin deep, but she didn’t have the price to go to the dermatologist and get herself skinned. She had a mouth which suggested a placket put on bias in the face, and when she smiled it made you think the picture should be labelled “Interior View of a Lady.” She wore a hygienic shirt walst and one of those health food walking skirts. “Have a care,” warned the ant; “winter 1s coming, and then when I have my steady job at the broker's office and my snug hall bedroom where will you be? Ah, sister, remember virtue is its own reward.” “It has to be,” retorted the grasshopper. “It never gets any other. ‘What I remember {s that a bird in the hand is worth two on the menu,” and she departed with a pronounced silken swishing and metallic clinking. ‘Winter came just as had been predicted by the farseeing. Much snow fell and Mr. Woudbury's staff could not move it because one of them had a sick wife and the other two had chilblains. One bitter day the ant was beating the lungs out of her typewriter when the door opened and in blew Genevieve, shivering with the cold. “Begone, oh, foolish one,” began the ant. “You heeded me not last sum- mer.
