(The New York World) The Christmas hold-up son has simmered down to a barely per- | ceptible pulse, Life in an a ‘tment house has relapsed back to its cus- tomary painfulness. ‘The syndicate composed of the janitor, hall boy, tele. phone girl, elevator boy and porter has hauled down the Jolly Roger, divided the plunder and is wondering how such c¢ etenants ever horned into ———— such an expensive rtment. Things are normal again, The janitor has put away his de- coy smile and is studying the life of | Lucretia Borgla, He is determined to! get even, and all he asks Is an im- partial trial by a jury of unblased| janitors. He received enough neck-| ties to let the furnace go out to a dif-| ferent pattern three times a day. He | is going to make the suffering mutual. | And he'll do it. Christmas only comes ! but once a year, but to-day is always here. Having held out his palm until tt became sunburned, tne hall boy ts again allowing the tenants to shove open the ponderous bronze front door while he goes through all the motions, He held out his hand for seven weeks and all he collected in it were three snowfalls, The hall boy is wondering what a hall boy wants with a slightly used opera hat and two left-handed gloves, He held out his hand 479 tim and the tabulated figures show that it was shaken 475 times. Of the maining four attempts three of ‘em read his palm, while the last try resulted in @ two-hour-old transfer, Charity may begin at home, but an apartment house ain't any home, The telephone girl is again saying “Yes” in three syllables, but her heart isn't in her work any more than her grammar, The lady in Suite 9 is al- low Copyright, 1916, shi wrong answer in ; The flapper in Suite 39 asks very sweetly and economically for the delicatessen store and it is almost a minute before she realizes that a Chinese laundryman Is trying a brunette, And the spinster in Suite 16, who is three times that age, won- ders why a wholesale tombstone as the confectioner’s. ‘And the porter, who collected garbage 364 days in the almanac and nothing on Christmas, can hardly be blamed for acting like a defeated candidate, It is two days after Christmas and the tenants who looked as if they might give him something on Christmas still look as if they might give him something—on Christmas. | When a benevolent looking tenant flashes that I'll-give-you-something- | on-Christmas look he should be required to specify which Christmas he means.
