This did not escape the vigilant eye of the “pedestrian preserver” in the centre of the square, and a blast Trom his whistle, accompanied by a sug- gestive nod of his head, directed the offending chauffeur to turn in to tle curb, there to await the threatened “ticket.” Crosstown vehicles having received the high sign, the interpreter of red, white and green Signals reached inside his blouse for the pad of court invitations and started for the car, to deliver ft together with the customary lecture. As his eyes rested upon the occupants of the tonneaus, however, he saw at once the reason for the unusually large crowd of spectators, His stern look vanished. He grinned, He stepped up to the car and for the minute that was all he could spare spoke in cheerful and friendly manner to the young people.

As a rule, the exhibit is far from entertaining, restful or encouraging, and I have always been afraid that some fine day, sooner or later, they would plaster there the picture of a silver-handled casket and the attractive price lst of Some “bargain” funeral outfit. To-day, however, I discovered that the new poster is buflt around the picture of a truly beautiful girl. (I think the commodity 1s a toilet soap.) I cannot keep my eyes off her. I like her better every time I look at her. I believe I already know her features better than she does. I} ‘teve I am much better this evening.—Michael Pette, No. 4 Fleming Place, Jamaica, RICHMOND SHE SMILED THROUGH IT ALL, A mother with her four children, among the passengers last night on the 8.50 o'clock boat from Staten Island to Manhattan, displayed the patience of Job. Homeward bound from some of the beaches, I Judged, the tired children were stretched out asleep, in various poses. When the time came to arouse them she first straightened up Johnny, Then sho turned her attention to Frankie. Meanwhile, Johnny had fallen back again against his eldest brother. She woke John and the eldest at the same time and turned to find that Frank had gone back to Dreamland. ‘Then she tried to awaken Peggy, but Pes was too far gone to mind a gentle shaking and mother devoted all her attention to the three boys, all of whom now appeared to be petrified. So it con- tinued, one up and two or three down, amid the amused but kindly smiles of other passengers. When we docked, finally, the good woman had the four of them on thetr feet, but Mistress Peegy's eyes were still tightly sealed. Careworn, I thought, and tired looking, Moher smiled through it all.—J. Cartwright, No. 138 St. Paul's Avenue, Tompkins- ville, Staten Island.
