he had lived in bachelor apartments
in Lake Park avenue for number of
years, but when he married and needed
a house of his own he moved to Lake
Forest 1t was q good move, too. so
far as can be judged by mere outward
appearances
Since last spring his face has taken
on healthy bronze and the daily ex-
ercise of long walks TO and from the
station has served to put an athletic
| springiness into his step.
| There have been other changes even
more remarkable. and, although he is
not conscious of them. Shey are plainly
evident to those who had been his as
sociates for long time
When he lived on the South side and
put in his leisure time at club he
would hare sacrificed one arm rather
than walk four blocks along State
street with bundle under his arm.
The slightest purchase at any store
had to be delivered II he bought a
pair OF shoes he sent them home by
messenger boy rather than ride home
with car load OF people, who would
think he was some common and ordi-
nary person, from the fact that ne had
q shoebox resting in his lap.
He was stickler for good form" in
other respects He believed gentle
man should always wear gloves when
on the street. except he should be in
neglige attire. He believed that no
should carry newspapers in his
pockets, and he had strong prejudice
against anyone who persisted in smok-
ing while in public assemblage, such
as might be found in any street
His friends rather admired him for
his fastidious notions 1t was crafty
ing to find some one who stuck TO his
ideals. But all this was before he
moved to the suburbs.
What changed him? Perhaps il was
the fresh air direct from the prairies.
Perhaps it was the open-air life and
the daily contact with rural popula-
ton. At any rate there was change.
he became more sociable, neglected
the creases in his trousers, carried
newspapers in his pockets and lighted
a cigar each evening as he started for
his train. He began to talk familiarly
of his neighbors and display an un-
wonted interest in family horses. The
hide-bound city man, with his stereo-
typed rules of form" was developing
into suburban od-fellow." known
to all the children along his street.
The fall was complete when he began
to carry things home-dress patterns
garden seeds, books and pictures One
day he was met at the approach to the |
bridge. Under one arm he carried a /
cross-cut saw about seven feet long. /
The great blade of flattened steel |
swung from side to side, so that pedes- |
trians had TO leave a wide path for the /
suburb ban friend, on whose face there |
was no expression of humbled pride, but 1
rather one of joyous determination.
Hello, there" he said. You must
excuse me; l can't shake hands I'm
going to lay off tomorrow and help my
hired man clear the small timber off
