AN INFORMAL
 AFFAIR
Copyright. laod, by Ruby Douglas
By A.. M. Davies Ogden

The clans were just being uncov- cred, and mingled odor of seaweed, potatoes and other things cooking bus fly away was borne deliciously en the breeze. Little Mile. de Saint Cyr looked about her. The long table spread under the trees was covered with white cloth and piled with dishes. Overhead the leaves rustled freshly, and out beyond the sound, all blue and gold in the sunset light. r1ppled and splashed upon great gray rocks where the fire curled away into wide feather of smoke.
 The French girl drew q quick breath of appreciation. How beautiful Amer ica was! It was her first visit to the United States, and on landing in New York Mile. de Saint Cyr had come directly to her aunt's place on the Connecticut shore. She was a young aunt, only few years older than Aline, and with young and jolly husband. Aline found herself caught at once into a round of gay out door life, a round which bewildered yet charmed.
 Owing to a breakdown of the motor car, they had been bit late in arriv- Ing at the clambake. The guests were already seated, and Mrs. Redvers, the hostess made hasty introduction of the newcomers. She had rattled through confusing number of names, then pointed to some grimy, collarless young men bending over the fire.
 And those are the cooks and wait ers," she cried merrily.
 Mlle de Saint Cyr eyed them curi- ously as they brought over to the table great platters heaped with stcaming clans. She never before had seen such untidy walters. Everything at her aunt's had been conventional enough. Here at last was America more as she had pictured it to herself A young

small dark mustache ran behind the chairs.
 Sauce, sauce!" he cried. He halted by the girl, regarding her with evident approval. '"Take some of this; it's good" he said frankly. Mile de Saint Cyr looked at him in surprise. But per haps this was American too. And the sauce did look good
 'Thank you," she said gravely. The young man ran on. But presently he returned "The Holsters are ready" he called, and there was rapid shifting of plates.
 How good everything tasted-the de licious chicken, the tender corn, the hot potatoes and through them all the faint, indefinable saltish flavor of the seaweed! 1t was certainly great fun. And yet it was so utterly unlike any thing the girl ever had known in France. Straight from convent school, this sudden freedom a pAmericaina was at first bit frightening. She ate demurely, watching the people abo1lt her with bright, curious eyes.
 The young man who had helped her to the sauce came back and dropped into an empty seat beside her, bring ing a well filled plate for himself
 I'm just about starved,' he inform ed her. "I've been working so hard all day"
 ! Aline glanced about her. 'The other collarless youths were now also seated at\ the table, eating and talking busily Perhaps this was the custom at clam bakes. But how odd!
 You are tired" she said in her sweet, sympathetic little voice. II SUD- pose you do not have to work so hard >Qs this every day. He laughed
 "Thank goodness, no. Usually I am lazy enough"
 Aline looked at him with serious smile.
 'I am sure you underestimate your self" she said kindly. 'I do not see how any one in your-your profession" she put it delicately-"can be very lazy"
 An expressive shrug answered her.
 "Only too easy" he returned. Its principally waiting, you know, especial ly for the younger ones. and that, al- though trying, is not particularly fa- hsuing. But it's all the days work" Aees1ulV. 'PeFhaps this afternoons

You often hear OF an expression
called DULL" and II may be that
some OF you do not understand what
the term means. says the Chicago
News. Webster defines Il MS ian ex-
preston containing an apparent con
gruity, but real incongruity OF ideas"
Two or three examples will be better
than the definition An lrishman said
10 a friend who was studying for the
priesthood. II hope | may live TO hear
you preach my funeral sermon" A
woman requested that her body be
opened when she died for fear that she
might be buried alive. The board OF
councilmen In a southern city ordered
that the new jail should be built Of the
materials OF the old jail and that the
old one should be used until the new
one was finished.

Columbia university took the first
step toward a general system OF CO

Will be established at other European
