Follow me. Observe how a man gets
a lunch for nothing and is treated like a
king ali along the line All you have to
do is to appear interested But come and
see for yourself"
He was one of those young men who
would waste s. worth Of time bringing
influences to bear so that he could get Il
5O-cent pass into the grounds. Time was
no object to him. That was proven in his
campaign for lunch. He led the way
across the plaza from the administration
building, passed the corner of machinery
hall and climbed over the bridge leading
to the agriculture building. Then he
turned south until he came to the second
doorway, through which he entered,
passing several rows of bottled grass-seed
and a pyramid of ear-corn. He seemed
TO know just where he was going, for he
directed his steps toward a gilded booth
with a heavy column at each corner.
STARTED IN WITH CUP CAKES.
Several persons were there ahead of
him. Within the booth were four young
women. They were attired in the dain-
test kitchen attire of pure white. with
tlounced caps and neat little aprons. One
was mixing batter in deep dish, another
had just drawn from a gas stove smok-
ing dozen of brown and puffy cup-calkes.
A laxative young woman who did not
| help in the cooking explained to the peO-
pie in front of her that in the baking of
these cakes the shortening was certain
| preparation of cOttOn-seed oil.
The impecunioUs young man had pushed
his way up to the edge of the counter
As the cakes were lifted out one at a time
| he observed; They look very nice 80
This pleased the cook. She brought the
plate over to the counter
Il will take one said he picking out
the largest and breaking it open Now,
a little butter. Ah-h-h How much?"
Nothing at all we give them away
'lnded must say they are the best |
ever tasted"
The people who had not reached were
oalNgiven half a cake each AS the
young man backed out of the crowd
changing the cake from one hand TO the
other, because it was hot, he said It's
a wonder she dOesen't remember me, but
] suppose there's a good many people
around every day" He finished eating
as he climed the stairs to the balcony
Here is where ! am in it -" said he.
The second booth from the landing was
in charge of cOlOred woman. who was
turning little pancakes on a hot griddle
They were made from special mixture
of -four, and the toIored woman gaye q
short lecture on the flour as She lifted
the warm cakes. dropped q nut of hlItter
on each and then shook powdered sugar
over them.
