words of hollow sympathy he departed
for the scene of the evenings revelry
In his malicious fancy he pictured the
drawn, distorted countenance OF his
friend as he danced with the only girl
in the world in his arms and a raw
toe in his shoe. However that sight
was denied him
Although he watched the door con-
stantly and scanned the face of every
masculine dancer. his suffering friend
never hove in sight. By and by his
heart began to soften. Perhaps the
beastly toe would develop blood poison.
Horrible steptococci might invade the
sacred precincts OF the pedal digit and
promising youp- life might be cut
off.
1t was not until after midnight that
the aosent-minded man had a hint of
the real reason for his friends absence.
lie was dancing with that same girl
when he had occasion to reach for the
silk handkerchief in the tall pocket of
his ciawhanmer- He was looking into
the luminous eyes of the girl as he drew
out the handkerchief and adjusted it
between his right hand and the back of
her snowy frock.
litter in Ball Room.
Presently there was q litter In the
ballroom. Somehow the litter followed
the two waltzers. until everybody was
laughing. The unconscious objects OF
their mirth were the last to catch on.
AS they paused for a moments rest. or.
more probably. in order to ascertain
the cause Of the laughter. they discov-
cred that the gentleman held in his
hand not white silk handkerchief. but
lavender silk sock. It was the one his
friend had taltn Off In that small room
at the club when the ghost OF the am
putated corn, like BanGuo's, refused to
down.
Just how the sock contrived to get
into his pocket he was unable to ex-
plain. He remembered that he had laid
his gloves down on chair, and, prob
ably, because Of the darkness OF the
room. he had picked up his friends foot
wear by mistake. At any rate. the
friend hunted long and biasphemously,
with many lurid oaths and picturesque
bursts of thoroughly gentlemanly pro-
family, for his missing property.
He could not very well go to the ball
with one lavender ankle and one flesh
tinted one Even his eccentricity stop
ped short of that Finally. he ordered
q cab and went home, disgusted with
life in general. and went to bed.

THOUSANDS ASK
FOR NEW PATENTS
Work OF Office Many Months
Behindhand.
BIG RUSH OF APPLICATIONS
Work of Proving Exacting and Cannot
Be Hurriedly Done-Larger
Force Needed.

Twenty thousand applications for pat
snts and trademarks now remain IL
the Patent Office unacted upon. This is
the greatest number IN the history Of
the office that ever accumulated at one
time
This rush of applications has the
Patent Office force worked to the limit
and 1t is now contemplated adding hall
al hour to the days work of an ex.
sminer in hope that the congestion may
be relieved. One examiner. in speaking
OF the situation. said: I'VE are up tC
our necks and no relief in sight" Suct
Is the case. Thousands Of patents arc
still coming in, and the number OF
those unacted upon becoming greater
every day.
There Is no special reason for the
rush of applications at this time, excep,
that the country is in prosperous con-
dition and people can afford to have
their ideas protected. The rush fol-
protection on trademarks can be ac-
counted for by the fact that a new
trademark law was enacted at the
last session of Congress, enlarging the
tscope of the trade-marks-that is. al
lowing the trademarks to be used ir
commerce among the several States
this having been denied by the old law.
Rush for Trade Marks.
Seven thousand applications for trade
marks have been received since April 1.
the time the new law went into effect,
just about twice as many as was re-
ceived the whole of last year.
The applications for patents cover
anything from needle to a locomotive
and a great many of them demand q
long time to unravel them and find the
worth of the invention.
This work cannot be done hurriedly
for action that is taken has to stand
for seventeen years. The industrial de-
yelopment of the country is at stake
and a. decision of the Patent Office In
regard to a patent cannot be hurried Oh
rushed any more than the deliberations
of the Supreme Court.
Working Force Too Small.
The force of the office has not been
increased In proportion to increase OF
work Eleven new examiners will be
added to the list en- July 1, but this viii
