A Few Episodes IN the
Daily Life of Kate Sharp
KATE SHARP, am Of those who

Yesterday morning | slipped into one
of the public eating places for my
modest coffee and roll. am not proud,
but do appreciate good table manners.
a well dressed man sat opposite me
at the restaurant table and engaged in
the feeding process. He looked as
though he thought he was a gentle
man. Well. having finished, he drew
out of his waistcoat pocket a quill
toothpick Many and many a month
no doubt that same tool had done duty.
He proceeded to use it in the most
glaring manner, clicking with his
tongue meanwhile, sitting there a
dumb, suffering victim. After he had
concluded the above delicate and pleas
ing operation, then-heaven save u.s.
he deliberately wiped the demonish
toothpick upon the restaurant napkin,
rubbing and polishing it carefully. Do
you wonder that l felt queasy?
Next meal was dinner at another
great public feeding ground. Kate took
her modest place this time at table
where only women sat. Surely now,
she thought, among females of my
own SEX | shall not be made queasy.
Near her was a well dressed young
lady who plainly thought herself some
body, for she criticised to her friend
with whitening scorn an old lady who
asked for a dish" of strawberries in
stead of using the up to date word
''plate" Then my young lady who
thought herself somebody calmly pick
ed up from her own plate with her
fingers food which we'll bred persons
always handle with fork and ate it
thus, actually licking her fingers after
ward as a dog ticks his paws But
''worse remains behind" A jar of
chopped pickle was upon the table. The
girl who thought she was somebody
shoveled out a spoonful of that pickle
into the palm of her hand and in the
sight of gods and men deliberately
picked 1t up between the thumb and
forefinger of the other hand and thus
conveyed it, monkey-like, to her mouth,
again licking her fingers afterward
At this stage Kate left.
She entered a trolley car. 1t was
crowded, and fat young woman
squeezed in beside her. 1t was siz-
zling hot day and the fat young woman
had been shopping many hours. That
she was stout had not helped her
appearance. Her hair was tousled, her
hairpins were half tumbling out. Her
face would have been pretty one on
a well groomed, tidy woman. Now it
was covered with dust and perspira-
ton, naturally, and the young woman's
hands were still worse
The stout young woman put up her
hands and arranged that hair, sticking
the pins in. Then she picked her teeth
with a pin awhile. Then she unrolled
an orange from a paper, throwing the
paper upon the floor. Next with her
fingers that were not clean and her
nails that were black, before all the
folk, that fat girl gouged and clawed
the peel Off that orange, then tore the

Hearing on Protest Against Erection
of Boiler and Engine House.

Commissioner West presided at hearing
granted this morning by the District board
to several residents In the neighborhood
of the Portner apartment house. at 10Th
and streets, who have protested against
the erection Of a boiler and engine house
for the apartments in question. The pro-
posed power house will front on Portner
place, and several Of those who live In
the vicinity say it will be a detriment to
the neighborhood.
Mr.. Leon Tobriner appeared as the rep
resentative of the protestants. While MT.
Robert Portner, the principal owner OF the
apartment house, was represented by MS
private secretary, Mr.. Heath, and his man
ager, Mr. Stokes. Mr.. Tobriner contended
that the building regulations do not con-
template the placing of boilers and en-
gines outside the building for whose use
the yare intended
Mr. Heath argued that 1t was the IN
tention of the proprietors OF the apart
ment house to place the new plant IN the
basement of the addition now building on
the 18th street front. This was found I'M
possible however, owing to the low heignt
of the ceiling. Mr.. Heath showed that Mr..
Portner owns a large proportion OF the
property in the neighborhood and contenoeo
that he would certainly do nothing 10
depreciate the value Of his holdings or 10
run his tenants from the houses.
The matter was taken under considera-
ton by the Commissioners
