A MATCH FOR The DRUMMERs.
Commercial Lady Killers Can't FIirt With
This Pretty Waiter-GirI.

Commercial Lady-killers Can't Elirt With
This Pretty Waiter-Girl.
At one Of the Scranton hotels there is hand
some rosy-cheeked girl waiter, with large, ex-
pressive hazel eyes and beautiful brown bangs,
who is more than a match for any and every
fresh customer that tries to make himself I'M
duly familiar while she is doing her duty in the
dining-rOom, says Scranton PA correspond
emit of the New York Sun. Her clear complex
ion, big. bright eyes, abundant hair, fine neck
and shoulders, and the grace and ease with
which she trips from table to table, attract the
attention of every commercial lady-killer that
comes along, but in her manner she gives them
no excuse for being fresh around her. She is
as Independent as man, and she knows now
to take care OF herself good deal better than
the generality of pretty girls do. A new Gus
toner at the house asked her one morning If
she wouldn't accompany him to the thsater
and her reply surprised him.
81 never saw you before, sir and why should
you invite me to go to the theater?"
'Ive seen the play" said he, "and it's a very
good one. / know you would enjoy il, and it
would give me great pleasure to take you"
well, if you are SO anxious for me to see the
play just you buy me ticket and I'll 60 alone.
I'll not let you take me, as sure as you live"
The man saw that he had met a girl that
wasn't 10 be fooled with, and he felt little
ashamed of himself. But he was equal to the
emergency, and so he gave the handsome waiter
two reserved seats, and she got another girl to
around
he didn't invite her.
"Where are you going to be tonight a little
after o'clock" another fresh commercial fell
low asked her at late dinner one day, and she
answered as quick as a flash
81 shall be right where | belong, and il you
are where you belong you won't get into any
trouble"
That settled him for good. There was big
rush at dinner one day, and the bright girl was
doing her share toward seating the guests
promptly, when three fresh chaps, who had
come in together were seated at her table. She
flew around in a hurry. and, when she had got
ready to take their orders they dilly-dallied
with their bills of fare, said simple things to
the busy girl, grinned foolishly at her, tried 10
guy her, and made themselves generally dlsa-
greeable. She waited patiently long enough to
have served them all around. and then they
heard this from her pouting lips:
did you gentlemen come in here TO dine or
to be funny? III you came to eat will serve
you as quickly as | can; if you came to be
funny, perhaps I'd better serve other people
until you get over being So"
They gave their orders mighty quick after
that, and they behaved themselves real well all
through the meal.
Half an hour after the regular breakfast one
morning late sleeper sauntered into the din
ing-room and was waited upon by one of the
other girls. She gave him the best the house
afforded at that late hour, but the food didn't
suit him, and so he called the handsome waiter
over to him and said:
whats the matter with that other girl? She
didn't bring me half breakfast"
Then he got this answer:
81 don't know what's the matter with her
but can tell you what the matter is. The
breakfast hour was ended half an hour ago, and
you'll have to put up with the best we've got
and she gave it to you"
lie didn't say any more.
