''There are plenty of other books to
read, and there are too many men mar
rying women older than themselves
nowadays" The well-bred murmur of
laughter that greeted this sally was
shared by the merry young writer, as
the recent discussion regarding the
matrimonial ventures of two artists had
evidently made an impression on the
young man who proposed to stop the
thing right there.

Hotel Clerk. in New yorb.

1t is exceedingly difficult for hotel
clerk out of employment to secure posi-
tion in any of the leading hotels There
are at least three clerks who have held po-
sitions in the, principal hotels who have
been out Of employment fora year or
more They have given up hope Of Sc
curing employment here in any of the
leading hotels. Yet they ranked high
among their associates, and in every re-
spect were first class men. But they say
that when vacancy occurs in any of the
hotels the position is given to man from
some other city. A clerk from Phila-
delphia, Boston or Chicago is preferred.
More people come here from those cities
than from any others. A clerk from
Philadelphia, for instance, it is expected
will influence large number of people
from the Quaker City to stop at the hotel
which employs him, whereas New York
clerk will not possess such an influence.
