 No end ot ingenuity isdisplayed in getting up devices whereby a person can carry his OF her luncheon to the office without the general public's knowing it. There is Il large class of those who wish to save the price of their midday meal by bringing the food from home, and who yet don't like to carry Il in an ordinary bundle In the winter a man may stick the parcel in his orercoat packet, or di- vide It and stick half in each pocket, nnd woman may hide sandwich and a piece of cake m her huff In summer. however. both these re sources are of no avail
 One plan k to get an old portable camera. take the merhanism out and use the box to carry luncheon ID. This k a capital idea If the man is not afraid of aruuslug suspicion by the unusual habit uf carrying q kodak tuaud from business every day The buX will often furnish amusement, however Many persons especially women, labor under the fear that the man opposite them ln a car with a camera m hIs lap wants to take theIr picture They squilm uneasily m ther seats glara at the lnnocent iooklng man, gaze at the camera ap jarently aimed al them and finally perhaps gu to a seat m another part of the ear They would feel pretty cheap If they looked into the iuStIu ment and saw that 1t contained only ham sandwICh. a boiled egg or two and ple,'e of pie.
 Boxes for holding luncheon arc also made m the shape nt bOoks The bludlng K an exact reproduction of that of some books. the utle De cline and Fall uf the Roman Empire Volume | or Ben Hur, haing bold ly printed ou the edge It may seem ,sld that man should carry one uook six months without finishing It, ~u the br1ght young man perhaps puts paper cover such as k used iu the Mercantile library, on the box lie changes thlS cover from time 10 tune aS II becomes Soilpl. and there fore appears to he a great reader
 A sufficiently simple deNIce for the pretty typewriter k to carry lemon ale biscuit and cake in 'dummy" music roll The objection here Is that young woman k hardly likely to go to a hig office building in Wall street or Broadway to take music leeSuus She may carry the roll there occasionally but if she brings II regularly every morning al 9 uclEk and takes II away every after uOOn at , she cannot derelve any cue who st%S her frequently and pays particular attention to her
 Ii iS d tIaIt Ot human nature. how ever, that people ask themselves, ten tunes asuften What are they think ing of nef" as they actually notice the attire or demeenm ot another In all probability not more than oue r two ever bother thclr heads ahout whether the typewrtpr's roll ruu tains music or mullins If she would ,uly realize this she would be less uneasy aud perhaiR more unhappy
 Tue oldest device of all was that of a girl who is puplI al the Art Studeurs league Tlus inventive seuill,, buught her luncheon iu the tall hat which she wore auIIea that would hardly recommend ltsel! to many It should be added that this rrmpdy soon struck her uS worse than the m9lady and she now brings her food in mece of paper or gets ii lu a restaurant New York Tribune.
