DON'T LIKE DINNER PALS

 r.a,r Food to Work Every Day.
 No end of ingenuity isdisplayed Ill yatting up devices whereby a person can carry his or her luncheon to the office without the general pobhc knowing it. There = a large class ot thos.s who wish to save the price of their midday meal by bringing tne food from home, and who yet don like to carry it in an ordinary bundle. In inc winter & man may stick the marcel in his overcoat pocket, or di- vide it and stick half in each pocket and a woman may hide a sandwlcn and piece of cake in her null m summer. however. both these re- sources arc of no avail
 One plan is to get an old portable camera. take the mechanism out and use the box to carry luncheon in. This is a capital idea If the man is not afraid of arousing suspicion oy the unusual habit of carrying kodak to and from business every day. The box will often furnish amusement however. Many persons, espeslaly women. labor under the fear thaf the man opposite them in a car with 2 camera in his lap wants to take their picture. They squir1n uneasiiy n thslr seats. glare at the innocent looking man. gaze at the camera ap parently aimed at them and finally perhaps go to a seat in another part of the car. They would feel pretty cheap if they looked into the instru- ment and saw that it contained only & ham sandwich, a boiled egg or two and piece of pie.
 Boxes for holding luncheon are also made in the shape of books The binding is an exact reproduction oi that of some books. the title De cline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume L" or Ben Hur. being bold ly printed on the edge. It may seem odd that 8 man should carry one book six months without finishing 1t go the bright young man perhaps puts a paper cover. such as IS used III | the Mercantile library, on the box. He changes this cover from time t6 time as it becomes soiled. and there fore appears to be great reader.
 A sufficiently simple device for the pretty typewriter is to carry lemon ade biscuit and cake in dummy music roll. The objection here | that a young woman is hardly likely to 20 to a big office building in Wal street or Broadway to take musl' le~ssons. She may carry the rol there occasionally. but if she bring it regularly every morning at o'clock and takes 1t away every after noon at $ she cannot deceive any ont who sees her frequently and pay particular attention to her.
 Ii is a trait of human nature. how ever. that people ask themselves tei times as often What are they think ing of meG" as they actually nohc the attire or demeanor of another
 In all probability not more than on
 or two ever bother their heads abou
 whether the typewriter's roll COT tsins music or muffins- If she woul' only realize this she would be les
 uneasy and perhaps more unhappy
 The oldest device of all was tha
 of girl who is pupil at the Ar
 Students league. This inventv
 genius brought her luncheon in tn
 tall hut which she wore-an idea tha
 would hardly recommend itself t many. It should be added that thi remedy soon struck her as wors
 than the malady. and she now bring her food in a piece of paper or gets , in a restaurant. t.-New York Tribune
