ably humorous Gelett Burgess in Har-
per's Bazaar, the last class above the

diners out who load themselves with
stories for a dinner as a soldier goes
into an engagement with belt full OF
cartridges. They may not get chance
for shot very often. but. given an
opening, their fire Is accurate and
deadly till the last round is gone. when
they are at the mercy Of more in

every guest seated on the outside OF the
table. But this would break up many
OF the little secret schemes for which
the modern dinner is planned, and
many a young man would suddenly
find himself flirting with the wrong
lady across the board. And this last
hint carries me from the exoteric to
the esoteric charms of the dinner. Here

The Native, Object,

The United States authorities in
Porto Rico are witnessing now the un-
pleasant sequel OF charity-the unwill-
ingness OF those on whom 1t has been
bestowed to go back to work. Last
August frightful hurricane swept the
island and deprived the majority OF
the inhabitants of their food resources.
There was nothing to do but feed
them or let them starve. Public and
private charity came to their relief.
The policy OF feeding them until they
we're able to plant and gather new
crops was adopted unhes.tatingly. It
was assumed that by the beginning Of
this year it would be possible to stop
issuing rations. But when that time
came 1t was found impossible to stop
entirely. An aggregate Of 100000 ra-
tions daily is yet being issued. 1t
has been decided to quit this business
entirely before the close OF the month.

twenty years. They were married in

About twenty years ago husband and
wife quarreled and the latter, becom-

clared that she would never speak to
him again until lie npologized. He is
too stubborn to apologize and she has
become accustomed to silence. They
sleep and eat and sit together like 9th

same pew mt church: she mends his
stockings, scws the buttons on his
shirt and fultills all the other wifely
duties in the ordinary commonplace
way except that OF conversation, and
the husband has become accustomed
to the situation by long experience. He
talks to her without reserve, but when

with him she does so through her
