My friend is em- "ans loved in one of the offices four or five blocks away. She has an hour for luneheon. When we finally got a table, it took consid- erable time to get the food, although we selected “ready” dishes. + ‘The result was that my friend had to rush through with her bit of food in order to get back to her work. During that hour I viewed the peo- ple about me There were @ large number standing around waiting for places, ‘The other diners could not hetp but see them and yet the seeming disre gard of the interest of the people who waited to be served, by the diners, was marked indeed. I saw people sitting there absent-mindedly holding the table, having had theif luncheons served to them, but entirely oblivious to those who were awaiting a place to eat. , 1 paw two or three young men eit- ting at tables after their checks had been paid, reading the newspaper and filling in the time until they returned to work. Others loitered over thelr last bit of coffee and made little or no effort to secure their checks and leave, Now while these people are totally “within their rights” to spend their dinner hour as they choose, yet It seems a distinct lack of considera- tion of others who want to be served in order to get back to thetr work, 1 could not but reflect that a Nttle bit of the human element might well enter into @ crowded restaurant at the noon hour in working vicinities, where the chief alm of each is to get food and return to work, Everybody knows the congested conditions in the’ moderate priced restaurants in this great city.

The ferson who “hogp” a. table in) a down - town restaurant, totally | careless, of waiting people, is just as unkind and lacking in good fel- lowship as he who “hogs” a seat in &@ crowded street car. Until the millennium comes, with plenty of tables, with plenty of time for every worker during the noon-day meal, it would seem that just an ounce of thoughtfulness and 4 spirit of helpfulness to the passerby is something worth while to live up to. In the waiting group with us were many tired girls who perchance had been taking dictation all morning end wanted a dittle time to get some het food without bolting it, Some of these young men who held the tables might well have displayed @ bit of courtesy to their working sisters by consuming a little less time at their meal and thus equalizing the time of meals for others, If something of this spirit had been manifested, no one need to have rushed his eating, as more time would Rave been possible for the waiting ones, I feel somehow that tn this mattor the character and the personality of the Imdividual can readily be dis- cerned, Those who insist on having all the time necessary for their meal, and yet are not uncomfortable at seeing others waiting for a long period—it seems to me there is something in their make-up that is, at least, lacking of buman quality, It ts just as important, even more 80, to show the fine side, the gallant, courteous side, in eating places as elsewhere.

E was a scoundrel, this immortally famous John Churehill, Duke of Marlborough. He was a scoundrel in every sense of the word—a hypocrite, a miser, » traitor, & crook, a time-server, But he made good as one of Bu- rope’s greatest generals and statesmen, starting from the very bottom of the ladder and climbing to dizzy heights through his own genius (as well as through his own rascalityy, And as such he merits a place in our p series. Churchill came of an old English family which had fallen upon hard times. Genteel poverty did not appeal to him; so, from boyhood, he sought to advance himself along all possible lines, without the slightest scruples as to his methods. He made good at the task, as you shall see, But the same crooked & qualities which raised him to power were later to fling him into the mire of disgrace, His good looks and cleverness made him a favorite at the English Court. He used his popularity in a coldly selfish way to strengthen his position. Ladies of title lavished gifts on him. He hoarded these gifts and made none in return. s Then, on a mission to France, he won the interest of King Louis XIV., who is said to have employed him at the profitable job of spying at the English Court. This added to Churchill's steadily increasing wealth. Next he married Sarah Jennings, a woman who had boundless tn- fluence over the Princess Anne, Anne was one day to be Queen of Eng- fs land, Sarah was a good wife for her ambitious young Betrayed Hie} 2UShand, and helped him mightily at Court.

Churchill was an inspired soldier, ca ke ad to the rank of general. In that capacity he proceeded to be- Willams of man James IL, into the power of the latter’s opponent, When William invaded England, King James sent Churchill at the head of an army to check the foe's advance. Having made his own thrifty terms with the invader, Churchill at once turned the army over to William. But though Willtam thus won the English throne, he was too wise to trust Churchill. Catching him intriguing to restore James (from whom he could secure more favors ‘aan from William) the new King had the traitor sent to prison. Later, needing Churchill's soldierly and political services, William set him free, but always kept an eye on him, ‘When William died James's daughter Anne became Queen, This was what Churchill had been waiting for. ‘By this time Sarah, his wife, had persuaded Anne that Churchill was the best possible candidate for any high office or rich gift within the gift of the Court. Anne was hopelessly under Sarah's influence, The new Queen made Churchill tle Commander-in-Chief of all Eng- land’s armies. In this capacity he crossed to the Continent, where Eng- land and Holland and Austria had formed an alliance against France.

If June 1 is Father's Day, why not make July 1 “Husband's Day”? Or are you afraid that the Govern- ment will put a luxury tax on them if we notice them too much? ‘There are “born bachelors,” just as there are “born poets,” and “born mechanics.” Sometimes you may succeed in turning a “born bachelor” into a husband, but the results are just as expensive and unconvincing as turning a brunette into a blonde, They are always the same at the roots, oy MEAN ROwLano Income: A small green island, covered with taxes and entirely sur- rounded by profiteers.
