* “A FORD A DAY.” Special Additional Daily Prize for Contributions to This P. OPEN TO ALL READERS MANHATTAN HARSH WORDS FROM FATHER. While downtown on a shopping trip I bought, among other things, a dress form, waich was brought to the house early yesterday, Al- most as soon as it arrived I started to drape a dress on it. 1 worked all day and until Jate at njght, trying to do just as much as I possibly could because I wanted the new dress for a special occasion, * * * When I was too tired to do any more I was seized with one of those sudden impulses to do something “funny,” and I placed my hat on the form, turned out the light and went to bed. * * * About one hour later I heard my Dad come th and for the first time in my life I heard him give me a dressing down. “Well, young lady,” he 8 say- ing, “this is a pretty time of nigat to be coming in. Do you forget when you get out that you have a home? What's the matter with you, are you tongue-tied?” * * * The roar of laughter that broke in at this point made Dad investigate a little further.

Riding up in a Woolworth Building elevator we had reached the thirty-sixta floor. My friend, Mr, Turner, was about to get off when, across the hall, he saw Mr, Warner, the man he was calling to see, step into an elevator about to descend. “There goes my man!” sald Mr. Turner, But the elevator operator, who Aappened to be the starter, sald “Stay on the car, and I'll try to get him for you.” * * Removing the receiver from a telephone at his side he called the dispatcher. “This is Graham,” he said, “stop Car No. 24 at once and let me tall to the operator,” * © « Jamming the receiver against his ear and holding it in place he continued to operate the car.

Presently a tired looking, poorly dressed woman approached’ the starter with an ur- gent request to care for her four little children—the eldest about four—while she went upstairs for an interview with her lawyer. The starter explained that this was out of the question, that he couldn't even consider such a taing. “Well,” she sald, “IT can't take them up there with me, breaking in on the lawyer's conversation every min- ute and annoying other people by their running around, and it seems to me a building Ike this should have a place for them just as you find in some of the big stores.” The starter said he was sorry but if the children were left in his charge they would upset nis affaira quite as much as they possibly could the lawyer's. * * * Finally, she decided to give the lawyer another trial and they all rode up together.—Minnie M.

AFTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY YEARS. A friend and I thought we would go s\ghtseeing. We rode over the Brooklyn Bridge and crossing City Hall Park walked down Broad- way until we reached Trinity churchyard, where we stopped to read. some of the inscriptions on the headstone. At one grave we found an old gentleman bent over a slab on tae ground. As we drew near he looked up, and we saw that tears were running down his cheeks. “This is the graye of poor Charlotte Temple,” he sobbed. When he “saw that this meant nothing to us he was quite indignant, “Do you mean to stand there and tell me you have never heard of Charlotte Temple?” ne asked. “No,” I said, “I suppose I am dreadfully ignorant, but I know nothing about the lady. Tell us about her, please.” Without even glancing at us again he sald, “You can find out all about her in any second-band bookstore.” Thus repulsed, there was nothing to do but leave the poor man alone with his grief—Mrs. BE.
