URGDAY, NOVEMBER 9 dition to this payment. Open to all readers. - MANHATTAN, « PRISONER OF GRAMERCY PARK. Ged RATHER A NEWCOMER to New York, and not fully accus- tomed to the way you do things, I strolled to-day from my place of employment at 23d Street and Lexington Avenuo and finally found myself at Gramerty Park. I DID notice the gates and the high fron fence, but I did NOT kui the park was private. Two women ; ame out of the park leading dogs, and the place looked so inviting that as they came out I stepped im~and the gate closed. * * * I sat ‘on one of the benches to enjoy the quiet beauty of the place, Soon 1 noted that I was the only person in the park, but it did not dawn on me that I was locked in. It was almost time for me to be back at my tasks. I walked to the opposite side of the park. The gate was locked. I tried another gate. Locked. 1 peeked through the railing and ap- pealed to an old man. If I had no key, he said, I couldn't get out It was now past time for my class. 1 was thinking of climbing the ; fence (the spikes are too pointed) when one of the gates opened and in walked a caretaker. He smiled when I told him how I came to be there, and he grinned when I assured him that {f he would let me out I “never would do it again."—Arretta L.

Every morning as I cross the Colum- bia campus a little tame squirrel runs up to me for something to eat. Usually T give him peanuts, but this morning I had none. He sat up with his head cocked perklly to one side and his paws held up jn such an expectant manner that I hated to disappoint him, I searched through my pockets and found} * © * several small pieces of crystalized ginger. I g him one. He smelied ti, looked et {t, tasted it and, final I suppose he thought that was the last of it, for he made a movement an if to extend his paws again, Suddenly le drew them down. A new expression came into his eyes, as if he had just bethought himself ‘of something. He squirmed a bit, opencd his- mouth, panted and then a startled look came into his eyes. He lcked his lips and ran his tongue around the tn- side of his mouth and panted again. Evidently the ginger was burning. It was amusing, for I had felt a similar sensation when 1 first tasted crystal~ lwed ginger. I offered him another little piece. Le started to take it, but recon- sidered. Suddenly he atched it, dug W A SLIP OF THE PEN. Every one is apt to make a blunder id discover it Inter.

ITH TWO OFFICE ASSOCIATHS I lunched at noon to-day in an Italian restaurant on Eleventh Street and Sixth Avenue. Shortly after we were seated, two women and a little girl of about five years were brought to a nearby table. The two young women, one apparently the mother of the child, began smoking. watched for a while and then declared that she, too, wanted a smoke. The demand greatly surprised the girl’s mother and equally greatly amused and delighted her adult companion, who further dis- tressed the young mother by calling the little one to her side of the table with the evident intention of giving her a few puffs from her own cigaret. directed her little one not to move. She immediately put out her own cigaret and tried her best to divert the child’s attention to other subjects, She was greatly relieved when the first course was served.

Here I sat down on a bench while they went acrosa the room. Presently my sister called to me, saying she saw no mummies, 1 thought that peculiar, because they had been there In the middle of the room when I was there before. I looked around, and—horrors!
