pie.
In two or three years he moved
again and not many months after
doing so the concern on the floor
above the place he left burned out,
and those below were either water
soaked or scorched.
Some concerns have been benefited
by fire, but Mr.. Charles must feel
cheerful over these escapes. 1t is
not always necessary to have trouble
in order to know more.
The Grit-advocate., 1904-05-13

He ordered 1t removed and asked
the customer what he would like in
place of it.
1t came in the form of peach pie
without any fork.
The waiter had taken the fork with
the apple pie and not replaced 1t.
The customer took time with his
coffee to see II either the floor walker
or the waiter would notice the forks
absence.
They did not and it had to be asked
for. AS this customer makes mistakes
himself occasionally in the restaurant
he did not look down on the two peo-
pie for the oversight
He did wonder why they could be
blind to the semi-service. 1t was late
and the waiter was tired-that ex-
plains for that one.
The floor walker got to telling some
good stories on another customer
and that may be sufficient explanation
for his condition.
How to tell good story without
laughing at it yourself and without
neglecting your work is a personal
quality that requires previous prac
tice.

Handsome Nickel Bread Trays.

Handsome and ornamental for tho
table are the nickel bread trays in
old Colonial design. showing fiuted
and beaded borders in highly pol
ished finish. These trays are some
what boat-shaped. and show orna-
mental effects in pierced work.
The new nickel teaspoons, made up
in the thin delicate model of the tea
spoon of our great grandmothers'
days, are dainty and look so like their
ancient prototypes that few people
would doubt their being genuine old
fashioned silver.
