an opportunity 10 see men as they are
during the week days. The weekday
man and the Sunday-night man are two
different propositions, as all stenographers
find out and It is the opinion Of many Of
them that life with the average weekday
man would be unbeaTable.
"On Sunday night the average man is
not a bad sort of a creature. He usually
has a box of towers under his arm or a
couple OF theater tickets in his pocket.
His voice is soft and low. and never. 10

onto his coat lapel as he stands in the

week that must pass before the next Sun

the writer. '-Of Stiles-Stiles, the greatest
