To THF EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sf; The departure
OF Mr.. KLEIN does not seem to have wholly restored
the Phlllies TO their own, yet all Is not gloom in
this town. at least TO the metropolitan with his
eyes open. Since coming here ! haven't ventured
very far from where Billy Penn stands guard on
his lofty perch, but | have seen some very inter.
estlng phases OF life at that. An instance or two:
A restaurant recently projected this sign upon
the sidewalk: "a three course meal served in nve
minutes" Isn't that hot stun for Philadelphia
In a FIRST class barber shop In a prominent spot
In the private mug rack stands a mug with this
legend "W. a. M. lawyer" Philadelphia Is
learning how TO advertise.
But the real thing happened last Sunday night
In a small but select and popular restaurant right
I'm the nelghborhood." As entered there seemed
to be some trouble with the safe. The genial
proprietor wrcstled with the combination, while
his good wife held a candle to promote his efforts.
Several customers waiting to pay checks were
amlably patient. while a score or more OF patrons
gazed curlously on. wondering what was up.
Presently the Brooks law was vindicated, and an
audible smile went around the room as a black bottle
was tenderly lifted from the safe and carried to
some favored spot In the rear. II one can keep
awaEe In this town he can have a GOOD time.
