Spring street, put on more style than
any house of its time. The walters

head waiter was master of tactics.
When the guests were seated he snap
ped his fingers. and In marched the
walters with tray loads OF ntables.
Keeping perfect step, each marched to
his designated table and paused until
the head waiter snapped his fingers
twice, when down went the trays with
n rattle. At the signal Of three snaps
covers were removed and dishes ar
ranged for the comfort and conyen-
fence of the guests. The army then
posed statuesquely until four snaps,

some time to visit the janitors living
quarters, and 80 It has come to be
known what really superior person
this janitor is, for prominently dis

a hundred volumes, including such au-

that 80 superior a man should be so
reduced, and they bow down to him
accordingly. The books? Why. they
were left in care Of the Janitor by an
