BOY FROM UTICA. ‘ ’ E WAS LINGERING near the apex of the Times Building, beside { A H @ news-stand where out of town papers are on sale in which one | can get a breath from home through the purchase of a home- ¥ n paper. There was snow underfoot, but the boy had no overcoat hb d his hands sought refuge from the cold in the depths of his ‘ ‘trousers pockets. He was watching the news-stand, oblivious to the kaleidoscopic lights, unheeding the theatre crowds hurrying past. I sensed his loneliness, gave him a friendly smile and asked if he too were waiting for some one. “Oh, nobody in particular,” he replied, “it's just that I'm not in New York so very long and at times I get Romesick. S0,1 just come up here and watch the Utica papers there im the rack. ‘Nd if I watch long enough I'm sure to see people come along and buy ‘em. Sometimes 1 see somebody I know, and sometjmes I don’t. But whenever anybody buys @ Utica paper I know it’s some from my old home town.” An hour later I again passed that way. He was still standing there as I had seen him before—watching and waiting for a sight of somebody, anybody, from his old home town.— A. T Locke. No. 451 West 21st Street. a yy (3 AND SOLD!

Every ‘ime my husband brought up a bag I put a dollar in the cup—which was what I would have had to pay the cellar coal dealer for 100 pounds. When the ooal is gone I will have $13.75 for another ton and $6.25 toward the children's Christmas.—Mrs. Mathilda C. Klueter, No. 301 West 120th Street.

Sire STATEN ISLAND COMMUTERS enjoy tho fresh breeze on OUT OF TOWN. IN HER LEFT HAND. ELDERLY LADY opened the door this afternoon when I A called at her home in Rye, N. Y., and I explained that I had called to have a contract signed empowering the Westchester Lighting Company to light her house. As wo, talked I noticed that she kept her left hand hidden behind her skirt, but thought little of it at the time. Even when she kept her left hand hidden while she signed the contract, the fact did not impress me greatly. But when I glanced back through the window, as I was descending the steps, I saw she had in her hand a large revolver. There have been many robberies in the neighborhood, and I suppose she thought that “safety first” was a good slogan—G. Montgomery, No. 574 Locust Avenue, Portchester, ¥. the ferry boat even in winter, but it certainly resulted in an embarrassing moment this morning to one of my fellow com- muters, exposing one of his greatest personal secrets. He was peace- fully reclining against the outer rail of the boat, apparently asleep. The turning of the boat Into the slip on the Manhattan side brought the breeze around to him, and suddenly I saw him frantically cluteh- ing at his hat and his hair, both of which had been diskodged by the wind from his head, bringing into view a goodly portion of mirrar- like surface of head.—Vera Mollack, No. 42 Fremont Avenue, Grant City, 3. 1. hy WHY THE POLICEMAN HAS A FAN. N THIS TOWN to-night, at Park Avenue and Fifth Street, the latter | being a State highway, I saw a traffic policeman wielding a-large fan, with which he directed the four-way traffle at that corner. Travellers expressed wonder if his exertion in handling traffic were vigorous enough to warm him up to the point of needing a fan on such a cool evening, But the explanation is that the gtreet light is Rot sufficient to enable drivers approaching that corner ‘to sé the _ officer's signals, The light is scarcely bright enough to insure his not being run down, So he uses a larg» white wooden fan, which reflects the street light enough to warn obstreperous drivers that something is stirring and remind them to slow down.—James P, Lynch, No, 364 Emerson Avenue, Plainfield, N.

SISTER SIBYL’S SUCCESSFUL SALAD. Y LITTLE SISTER SIBYL is, always very much interested when she sees me cooking from rectpes we receive in domestic science at school. She thought it wonderful that such gratify- ing results could be secured from following the brief directions dis- pensed by the teacher. What pleased her most was being permitted to assist me in cooking various dishes, This week her self-con- fidence had reached a point that led her to insist that my mother permit her to prepare a Turkish salad all by herself, and she resented our proffered help, “I want to surprise father,” she explained. The recipe starts as follows: “Beat thoroughly the whites of four eggs.” Mother and 1 were in the dining room when we heard Sibyl turning the egg beater for dear life. We entered the kitchen just in time to seo her drop the yolks of the eggs into the refuse pail. “Why, Sibyl!” exclaimed mother. The amateur cook looked up inquiringly and ft required several minutes of explanation before she was convinced that where a recipe called for the whites of eggs there was no obligation on the part of the cook to throw the yolks away. She wept when she realized her wastefulness—but her salad was a success—Anna R. Freeman, No. 26 New York Avenue, Brooklyn.
