Il got off the car at the Battery,
and there l found plenty to do.
Sitting on the benches looking
out into the harbor were more men
than | could count. III bet that al
most everyone of them was broke.

cinch to be broke and have your
whole being longing for pie and no
way to get it. A man can get lot
hungrier for pie than he can for
bread.
Il went down the line in Battery
Park picking out the chaps that
looked more down on their luck than
the others. It's funny, but l didn't
find any boozers. Every man that
drops behind the procession doesn't
lose out through booze. You'll find
plenty of refOrmers that will tell you
that drink drives almost everybody
off the track. A lot of the men /
talked to today were straight, clean,
honest fellows that either hadn't had
the right opportunity or that didn't
have the ability to take advantage
Of the opportunities they had.
Il went right up to them and asked
them how things we're going and if

said, too. A kind word and a smile
do lot more good than half a dol

One man told me he had the promise
of job in week. He told where
he was going to work, but he couldn't
tell, because he didn't know, where
he was going to eat till he and that
job got together. So | staked him to

just this way and most OF it has

men who want to help people that
need help, but sometimes I can't help
thinking that when they do slip a
poor chap little money they do 1t
n such a way that the man they give
the money to has his self-respect
denied little. Now, man that
doesn't respect himself isn't worth a
snap of my fingers. How are you CO.

simply because he is broke, you treat
him worse than you would treat q

said to neighbor that she supposed

the rumOr about the party and avoided
troubling the prospective hostess. But
one day she was called to the telephone
and whining, Sugary voice said, " Y gu
can put in the paper. If you want to,
that I am going to have two tables at
cards this afternoon. I don't care any

women brought by George Gourdeau
president Of the Paris Association OF
Hair Dressers, who has spent -four
weeks studying coiffeure building in

Ork. w omen OF the american metro
polls, says the Persian, seem to con-
fine themselves to a score, at most, OF
styles, whereas there are 800 separate
and distinct fashions of dressing the
hair, he claims. Mr.. Gourdeau is or
a mission from Paris, where the hair
dressers are trying to encourage more
diversity in the style of hair dressing
hoping to secure the cooperation OF
American hair-dressers in this move

He was not notified of the burial by her spinster cousin, her only relative, who gave as a reason that 1t would be better he should not be pres ent. But as soon as he learned of the fact he went to the cemetery and stood uncovered by her grave, tears rolling down his cheeks. He had brought some plants to set out where their flowers the next spring would hang over her fore him on a similar errand. Flowers were strewn over the mound so fresh that they must have been cut but a few hours.
 He spoke of these flowers to her cousin and asked if she had placed them. She had not and seemed surprised.
 He was troubled. It is singular that we should be jealous in case of the dead.
 Every Sunday afternoon he went to the cemetery, and every time he found fresh flowers on the grave. They must have been placed there in the morning. The next Sunday he went at dawn and waited and waited till 10 o'clock for this rival for the dead. At that hour a young girl came and strewed flowers on the grave. A great relief came to him. He advanced and addressed his
