KNEW THE DRINK SHE WANTED
Young Woman Could Not be Lured
 From Her Fayorite Beverage.

The sweet young woman was clothed in a shy, timid air which suited her quiet costume and her bloomer hat When the young man she got acquainted with at Brighton asked her to have some refresh ments at a nearby pavilion she hesttated. but at last consented to take something to drink at the restaurants. When they were seated at the table he suggested that as the day was chilly she take some thing to warm her, remarking that ginger ale might have that erect.
 After waiting for him to order his own drink, so as to give hint, at last she said. looking around the restaurant:
 What are they drinking at that table that drink in those small goblets. with what looks like a cherry in itT'
 "Oh. that's a Manhattan cocktail" he replied.
 "Man-hattan, she said, innocently. Do women drink that?"
 Why, of course: there are some women drinking them now" he responded, point ing to a couple who seemed to be en- toying the seductive and exhilarating mixture.
 The shy young thing blushed as well as she could under her tan and seemed satisfied with the statement Then. turn ing to her escort she said:
 "An right. then. I'll take a whisky straight" And she got it. while the young man looked at her in silent admiration as she gulped it off.

Your curiosity Is slightly aroused, and when you again join the jolly crowds be- low you feel an awakened interest in the scene. Before you know it you have met Mrs. Evelyn Hancock and she ia intro ducing you now and then to the people who drift in your direction. Mrs. Han cock proves to be a woman of prepos- sessing appearance. some aplomb and perfectly self-possession. She is ready of wit and puts everyone at ease. She has general supervision of the social actiyi- ties of the place. and though, if she is an adept at her, calling. she does not obtrude her guidance, nevertheless she quietly arranges the details of an euter- tainment or outing. with most satisfac- tory results. She sees that the shy girl man does not make himself rfdiculous.t or the elderly people feel left out.

the tramways, the bridges, the water works and all public Improvements. have told you how it has already spent millions in erecting houses to rent to the poor. and how it Is building several little municipal cities on the outskirts of London for that purpose. It does, in fact, a wholesale and retail real estate business. The tenement buildings will all bring in moderate rents and the city off, cials will collect them. The County Coun- cil will probably hold the fee simple title to the ground along the Strand. and 1t will lease it at ground rents to builders It is estimated that the city will eventu- ally receive something like $20. 900 in rents from this source, and If it does as Birmingham Is doing, that is, provides that at the end of the lease the buildings revert to the city, London will become the richest corporation on earth.
 Big Salaries.
 have looked somewhat into the mat ter of salaries here in London. The County Council spends about $32, 900, 900 a year, and much of this goes out for la bor. The officers of the Council receive from $4,0O0 to $10,000 per year. The clerk, engineer and architect each get $16,060: the assessor. $500. and. the head of the street car department, $5,000.
 Hc OI lue Cily corporation are still better paid. The recorder has $2o, 900 per annum. the town clerk sl7,5OO, or just as much as we pay Minister Choate, and the controller and remembrancer $10,Oo0 each. In addition there are other salaries ranging from $11.OOO down.
 London's Lord Mayor.
 Perhaps the best paid Mayor of the whole world is the Lord Mayor of Lon don. He has a salary of $50.0Oo a year and his house rent is free. He lives in the Mansion House across the way from the Bank of London, within short dist ance of the Tower and London bridge. I have met him at his palace during my stay, and he has room and to spare.
 The Lord Mayor does not control. how ever any part of the metropolis except that known as the city or part that forms the chief commercial and money-making center. It lies east of the temple and embraces the port, the docks. the custom house, the bank, the exchange and the hundreds of great wholesale establish ments banks and other corporations which make London the financial center of the world This is the city proper and 1t is a city of the day. It has popula- ton of 3O000O and through it every day more than a million go in and out While 1t is light. but as night it is almost as deserted as a city of the dead. Its thous- ands of capitalists and clerks then leave 1t and it is handed over to the watchmen and policemen. the Lord Mayor Tn tact' being the only prominent citizen to re- main all night through.

The rats fattened on it. or, rather, in 1t, for some days.
