SMASHING GLASSES
IN NEW YORK CAFES

~ EN- million glasses costing $4,000. 900
are smashed every year in the "a
l. 600 cafes and other drinking places
of New York state, according TO those
who are engaged in replacing the beer
or whisky glasses and the finer vessels
used when champagne Is ordered.
Most of these glasses are the cheap five
cent beer glass variety, but in the more
fashionable cafes the breakage consists
often of the finest of American etched
glass, French crystal or even valuable
Bohemian goblets delicately tinted to har-
monize with the shade of some rare vint-
age. Such glasses may cost anywhere up
to 40 or 80 cents. 1t is not necessary.
however. for these delicate glasses to fall
to the floor. The mere rapping on the
edge of one of them with fork or knife
to summer "Garcon" or "kellner.' may
put tiny knick in the lip of the glass
and make it useless to the hotel which
prides itself on furnishing only perfect
glassware, no matter what may be the
beverage, whether beer or some rare old
port or champagne.
New York city is the heaviest loser by
accidents to drinking glasses. and the
dealers in these commodities are, conse-
quently, among the busiest in the world,

the junk heap every night in the 1000
odd drinking places scattered along I'm

vals out to Far Rockaway or Farthest

one of the few cities where an entire
business section is devoted to wholesale
dealers in bar and other glassware.
In the white light district there are at
least 100 places where. according to glass
ware dealers and manufacturers. the

CHAPTER XIV.

The rapprochement between Mrs. West
erby and Frant had arrived at tho stage
of surreptitious meetings. Frant actually
found himself getting up early In the
morning because he knew that Mrs. West
erby would be In the rose garden pune
tually at o'clock. Neither Of them con-
sidered early rising civilized. Mrs. West
erby felt that she did not look her best.
and was obliged to tilt her large garden
hat at its most acute angle In order to
secure the right amount of becoming
shade. Frant had never considered that
1t was necessary for a man to study his
personal appearance in order to conciliate
woman. and his rank had not tended
to cure this defect He was only con-
cerned as to whether he felt less or more
cheap than he was accustomed to do at
that hour OF the morning. AS he ap-
preached her his figure looked positively
decrepit in its loose fannels, and his eyes
gazed wildly from his hatchet face.
What on earth are you doing up at
this hour?"
Mrs, Westerly always commenced with
this remark.
God only knows" was his grace's
reply. He seated himself at her side. II
shall be simply dead by 10 O'clock" he
continued. closing his eyes in almost a
doze.
Mrs. Westerly likewise felt that the
| loss of a couple OF hours sleep at that
time of the morning would require good
deal of making up-if. indeed. such thing
were possible-but 1t was a tribute to the
need they had Of each other that they
were soon, despite their jaded condition
conversing with animation.

ducking like THAR

ment believe that his being asked to con-
test the division originated with Lord
Cammarleigh. and 1t was very evident
that Anthony did not particularly mind
knew perfectly we'll that his appearance
in the rose garden. and the almost care
less way in which he had impaired the
intelligence to them, had been very care
fully calculated.
Are you going to accept?" asked
Frant.
II think so. A public life suits me,
and, after all. the house Of commons Is
the only field for q really ambitious
man"
THAT settles it." thought Frant. HE
must be Cammarleigh's SON.
Having dropped his explosive, Anthony
moved away.
When they were left alone the duke
looked at Mrs. Westerly and raised his
eyebrows.
This will give the whole show away"
he said.
Il don't think he cares"
'Why should he? But what a weather
cock Cammarleigh is. He'll be the laugh
ing-stock of both parties. 1 shouldn't
care to go into the house as his pro-
tege."
"They won't laugh at Mr.. Brooke
The duke looked at her suspiciously.
Il say. you seem to think lot Of the
fellow
II do. He interests me very much in
deed
'Humph,' His grace felt a distinct
twinge Of those nerves which communi-
cate with the jealous centers Of the brain.
He glanced toward the windows where
he knew Sybil's room to be. and though
he was not imaginative he conjured up a
picture of her as she was wont to appear
the first thing in the morning. fresh and
sweet, alert and 1.-the; yet somehow the
vision left him cold, and he turned with
somewhat of a weight at his heart to the
more mature beauty at his side. He
hoped that he had not made an awful
ass Of himself. Mrs. Westerby's cause
was largely assisted by the fact that he
was suffering from injured v: nifty, as
men are apt to do when they fall in love
with very young girl. 1t was quite GER
tain that had Sybil not sustained such
severe heart attack almost at the same
moment that she became engaged she
would have been clever enough to play
the duke until he was safely landed. but
inasmuch as she was quite sure of him
she made him answer for not a little of
her resentment against fate.
'Cammarleigh left his traditional party
because he said they were too advanced

going back to them. considering that they
are about three times more advanced

Colds Due to Catching Heat"
From American Medicine.

That colds are due to Catching
heat Is another one of the curious para
doxes due to the modern investigations of
disease. and by colds is meant all the
acute inf1ammations of the respiratory
tract. including pneumonia. Eskimos
never have pneumonia at home. but they
nearly all die of it when they come to
New York. This disease is now the most
fatal one in the heat of PARMA. Peary
states that none of his party suffered
from coughs or colds in the arctic, but
after their return they have all had such
diseases. Tropical colds are the per-
sistent forms OF bronchitis found in white
men in the tropics and so hard to Throw
Off, or cure. 1t is well to inquire, now
that the benefits of cold air are being
recognized. whether our winter colds are
not really due to the unwholesome heat
of our houses. which are hotter In winter
than in summer If SO. we do not "catch
cold when We leave the house but
catch heat when We enter II. Every
new fact seems to point to the necessity
of a reform in our methods of overhead.

thony waved his hand in highly dra-
matte way toward the window.
why should they curse me?' Cam
marleigh prided himself on being a very
excellent landlord.
why should they curse you% The
question is why shouldn't they! When
one comes to think that by far the
greater portion of their profits goes into
your pockets. doesn't It strike you that
their Observation-Disclosures convention may
have taught them to pretend to the con-
trary-teach them to regard you as what
you are, a vulgar pilferer?'
Perhaps this depression was rather un-
reasonable. and it most certainly had
nothing to do with the subject. but An
thony felt that he could not too soon
adopt political attitude.
What / wish to point out is that II
you had had to suffer twenty times as
much at my hands as you have done, you
would still have a considerable balance
on your side as regards the material
things of this life. And now I think I'll
leave you. You had better have a good
sleep and then you will be able to get up
after the doctor has been.

At tea Mrs. Westerly whispered as he
handed her cup:
