out of town, where-strange to say
the servant question is now no
more acute. Plenty of men doing
urbs and come into town from Mon
day or Tuesday morning until Friday
night only. The rest of the week
they stay in the country. In town
they go to the hotels. Here the in
auN of guests is responsible for some
strange things. The privileges" of a
hotel are themselves worth for
tune. Aste, the horse owner, made
his money from hotel boot backing
stands. The boot backing privilege
of new Broadway hotel that is to
be opened in two months is already
sold to man who pays $4,000 a
year rent and fits up his own room.
Strangest of all results of the great
cost of living in New York is the dis"
lance to which men commute" for
the sake of doing business here.
Philadelphia is 90 miles away.
Enough men live there and come in
to New York to work every Wall
street day to be known on change as
''the Philadelphia crowd" On the
way back and forth they form rail-
road club and play games of levity
and interest. The trip takes two
hours. In other directions no such
distances are 'commuted," but as
much time is consumed on slower
trains in reaching Port Jervis, Pough-
keepsie or Greenport.

solemn old house. When the heavy
door swung open, the children almost
fell into the hall, as they had been

softly; 'sto-morrow's Christmas"
Miss Cynthia's smile was so loving,
her best friend would scarcely have
recognized her.

your house," she asked, gently.
Not this year. Father says he can't

we mustn't be selfish. Some little chill

said the boy, his eyes shining with
sympathy for the Santa Clausless chill
dren he spoke of.
! A great resolve was forming in Miss

children to their home, and then send
them such Christmas as they would
/ never forget. She could not do it for
Sidney's children, but here were two
little waits who could take their place.
Hastily she donned her hat and seal
skin coat, and taking hand of each
wondering child, went out into the
night.
Now, children, take me to your
home, and when l have explained your
absence to your Mary, I'll hunt up San
TIA Claus and send him around to your
house." she said, as they went down
the steps.
The boy pulled her along the snowy
street, talking SO rapidly all the time
of what he wanted Santa Claus to
bring that Miss Cynthia did not notice
which way they were going until they
stopped before small house on a
dark street. Around the side of the
cottage the trio went, and the boy
opened door noisily into poorly
furnished dining-room. AT the sound,
a young Irish girl rushed in and
clasped the truants in her arms.
