AROUND THE CITY

A man and woman were lunching in
cafe. Both had passed the biblical age
limit but time had not changed nor Gus
tom stalled the intinity of their love. The
| mans thin scholarly face was gridroneG
with wrinkles, but there was a smile OF
tender humorousness in his eyes that
accounted for the old lady's vivacious and
almost girlish manner. Her gray gowr
was finished at the neck with soft. creamy
lace and her hair rippIed from her fore
head like so much shining silver.
When the old man had given an order
that the old lady had selected he looked
around the place, took in the tables full
of young women with prodigious pompa-
dOurs and spring finery. and then turned
to his old lady and said. quite loud and
| triumphant enough for a person at the
next table to hear
ROOM
1t wasn't much of remark as far as
words so. but the tenderness I'm his eyes
and the belated dimple in the old lady's
soft pink cheek made 1t really beauti-
full.
Two men were discussing a nomination
of some sort. The huge ushy-bearded
one, who had his hands in his pockets
and his feet planted apart to make him
self look like the letter V, must have
been a possible candidate. for he re-
marked with really becoming humility.
though he didn't at all look like humble
man:
''Of course. I've got to run If they in

and all that, decided if I'm a big
enough man for the place

with a spontaneousness that seemed to
jar the possible candidate. I'VE can't af-
ford to pick light weight you know"
And a mere woman who was passing
by wondered what sort Of Office it could
be to require a larger person than a
huge, bushy bearded man who stood six
feet and had fat hands and two chins.

At that point the larger man held up a
finger to attract the conductor, who had
overlooked him in the crowd, and had moi
as yet seen the signal.
What are you doing that for?" asked
the smaller man. You are going to
get out.
The larger made no answer until he
had exchanged his quarter for tickets.
Then lie said. casually. as he slipped them
in his vest:
II don DO business on SO small a
scale"
And the passenger nearest them looked
up i'm the larger mans eyes and wished
that she knew his name SO that she
could go TO him when she was ready TO
buy her little home.
