LUCIND4'S EXPERIENCES.
Something Of Interest TO Her That Hap

Sitting opposite to me in the car

Lucinda, was a man. No. nothing re-
markable about that. but something hap
pened presently that made him OF interest
10 me.
-On the same side with me but two or
three seats down sat a woman who at
the next crossing got up to leave the car
and as she left her seat and started for
the door the man sitting opposite spoke
70 her:
Madam, is that yours?'
aHe pointed at something in the seat
that the woman had just left; and she
looked around and locke ed at 1t and said
No, that isn't mine and passed on.
swhat it was that he had thus pointed
out | couldn't see because there was some
body sitting between me and it; but in
a minute the man sitting opposite got
up and came over and got 1t and then
went back with it and sat down again
in his seat; and then saw what 1t was.
Il was a small pasteboard box. He
looked it over little and then in a min
ute he opened it and looked into IT; and
as he held IL could see into II as he opened
1t, and there were in il few candies.
Somebody who had brought this, box
into the car had eaten out Of IL all the can
dies they wanted and then had just left
the box on the seat.
Then Of course ] wondered what the
man. who had found 1t would do about
it, whether he'd keep IL or leave 1t or
what he'd do; and in minute he laid 1t
down on the seat beeide him. didn't
feel certain that he wss going to leave II
there for good; and when we came along
to where I was going to get on he sat
forward little. getting ready TO get up
he was going to get out there toc-and
thought I'd wait and let him 60 Arst
30 that could see.
when the car had stopped snd we
were both standing up and I was holding
back for him he held back politely for me
and I had to 60 first; but I managed 10
look around enough as went to see him
pick up the box. He held il in his hand
as he passed out OF the car. but when he
he'd stepped OF he dropped it in his
pocket.
ANow Of course what he should have
done was either 10 leave II in the car or
hand IL over TO the conductor 10 be taken
TO the lost and found department. 1t
wasn't his; but there Il was. left in the
car by somebody who apparently had got
through with IT, Itwasn't his, but itWasn't

The fad for tan boots and shoes In winter
an we'll as summer is only year or two old,
but il has grown amazingly, and for or
binary street wear the tan boot Is now
worn almost as much as the black, though

high tan motor boots and sporting boots
which are distinctly attractive

yeutional tan motor boot with its one
strap around the top. These models are
made 10 black as well as In tan.

Patent leather slippers with rhinestone

Black satin and black velvet also have

Captain Francis B. Hart of Minneap-

cism of the supreme court in the final
proceedings of the case in which he
is on trial for disbarment before a

Johnson
Il would rather be disbarred,'' said
Captain Hart in, impassioned tones,
than to practice before a court that
for some reason will not regard the
established law as its authority. Dis
barment would be preferable rather
than, at my age and with my pretend
