Alphonse set the coffeepot close to
Sheldon's hand and retired to the bar,
there to indulge in glass of beer.
The dinner rush was over, and he was
certain that no one would come now
until after the theaters let out.
Meanwhile the two young people at
the table would surely chat for half an
hour or so, which time Alphonse might
spend with profit in discussing with
the fat bartender certain nice points
in the mixing of cocktails.
Meanwhile his two patrons slipped
their coffee, and Sheldon lit the cigar
that Alphonse had brought. When he
dined alone the cigar came from the
corner box on the five cent end, but
when the young lady came Alphonse
always brought a perfectO from the
box in the ice chest with an elaborate
" casual 1.-THE usual, monsieur"
This was intended to impress the
guest with the belief that Sheldon ha-

phonse's elaborate politeness was ig-
nored by the usually genial Sheldon.
''Now for the news" he began as the
waiter headed for the bar. II couldn't
wait for Saturday to tell you. though
it Is only two days off,"
''Isn't 1t funny that we always fall
back on Saturday night". commented
Bess. 81 don't know when we have
been out to dinner in the middle Of
the week"
Never, I guess" agreed Sheldon.
''7ou see, Saturday is sort Of holt
day. I get my salary, and you get your
check from the publishers, and we're
both happy and content, even if not in
agreement"
1--WE would be in agreement if you
would only stop considering a proposal
as an essential feature Of the Satur-
day celebration" reminded Bess, with
a show of severity. "You must go and
spoil it all by proposing, Fred, when
I've told you long ago that to marry
would spoil my career. l am making
a little name for myself in the art
world, and I can't keep house and
paint too"
"And I've told you," retorted Fred,
'-that would not stop asking you to
marry me until you said Yes l guess
I've proposed to you sixty times in
the last sixty weeks. Bess, and I'm
good for sixty times sixty If / have to
hold out that long"
'Did you ask me out to dinner to
propose to me?" demanded Bess.
"Not primarily" he admitted. What
I wanted to tell you was that my big
chance has come at last. Benny Groll
has made a good contract and he
needs a man to put little money and
q lot of time into the business. l have
more experience than money, but Ben
wants me, and he'll give me a half in
terest If I'll come in. It's what I've
been working and waiting for ever
since I came to town, Bess, and this
is to celebrate my good luck"
A slender hand was stretched across
the table and grasped his own.
"Dear boy, am so glad, she said
sincerely. "You have worked hard,
and you are entitled to your reward"
(Which is why / am going to ask
for it," retorted Sheldon. Il am go
ing to break my usual custom and
propose on Thursday instead Of Satur-
day, Bess. l want you to work for,
dear. 1t will be pretty hard camping
out with the construction gang and
working on the job with the field
corps. l want to come back to camp
every night and feel that 1 have done
another good days work for you"
"Work, like virtue should be its
own reward" paraphrased Bess. Shell
don shook his head impatiently.

sounds better than 1t works out. 1

Little Helps For Awning Makers.

"Our greatest benefactor," said a
local manufacturer Of awnings, ''is
the office man who sits and smokes
and throws his cigar stubs out of
the window. If it's at the time of
year when awnings are up on the
big office buildings it is not i'm
probable that the cigar will fall on
an awning and burn a good sized
hole. Possibly it will fall against a
roll of the canvas and burn through
several folds. Look at some of the
awnings over the stores on the
ground floor Of buildings and notice
the little round holes that have
been caused by the falling cigar
stubs. These holes, of course, great
ly hasten the time when the awning
must be replaced. Nearly every Of
fee building in town has suffered
this same damage" = Cleveland

was city editor of a little paper in a south

AMERICANS HOME COMFORTS
Marked Contrasts with PincbiDR and
Primitive Conditions In
England.

Just as the wages are smaller, so the SAL
aries and incomes are smaller among the
people of England than with us. The larg-
est house in the town. built of brick, with
garden, greenhouse and small stable, and
containing rooms ample for the accommo-
dalton OF a family of six, keeping a gov.
erness and seven servants, keeping two
horses and doing a fair amount of enter
tanning. such an establishment as this can
be kept going. without painstaking econ
omy, on an income of 5000 or $1,000 a year.
In no place In America would the upkeep OF
a similar establishment for such a sum be
humanity possible. In the first place, the
governess and seven servants would require
in wages $500 a year, while a similar staff
In England would cost somewhere in the
vicinity of 500 a year. This particular
house was In the town Itself and was far
more comfortable than the majority of the
houses In the town. People with an average
income OF from 81, 900 to 5000 a wear live In
far more convenient houses in America
than in England. The matter OF water.
heat. lighting, suitable kitchens and Iaun-
dries. is insisted upon with us. and Is lack
ing TO an appalling extent in English coun-
try or even town houses, and also in the
more pretentious country houses Themselves.
Inc houses OF the poorer classes, ldDorefs,
clerks, servants and the like. are mere
boxes, with none OF the conveniences to
which Americans even of the poorer classes
are accustomed. Hundreds OF thousands of
Americans live in houses admirably
equipped as to bath rooms. lighting and
heating conveniences and the like, where
hundreds are thus housed in England, In.
deed, America is in a class quite by herself.
so far as mechanical contrivsnces for per-
sonal comfort are concerned. as compared
with England, or any other country in the
world. The average level of comfort Is far
higher than anywhere else, whatever may
be said as to the satisfaction OF the raTer
and more luxurious and more refined de-
mands Of the more cultivated. At any rate,
America is easily chief among dwelling
places where mediocrity has nearest APP
preached to it's millennium. Rent. clothes.
service, wines, beer. spirits. tobacco, all are
cheaper IN English than in the American
town. and prices of meats, vegetables,
bread. butter. poultry, eggs, much the same.
