NAUGHTY HOTEL WALTERS
It ls Not Easy to Get Even With Those

Some hotel walters long since grad,

to one of arrogant haughtIness. There
are only two ways of getting even
with such a waiter
The best way Is to carry a club In
the right hand. concealed behind the
back. Enter the dining room with as
much sang froid as may be assumed
without exciting suspicion. When
the waiter approaches with a look Of
scorn and contempt on his face give
him a John Arthur Johnson punch with

though they may rest assured that II
would meet with the appreciation OF all
other patrons of the place. The only
alternative. If you feel that you must
even up the score. is to leave the no.
tel and never return to II.
Usually It is the head waiter who be
comes afflicted with arrogance. He
meets you Just inside the swinging
door and at one swift glance places his
estimate upon you.

Being given to Clarence is the depth
Of degradation. The table presided

other with uncombed hair, both OF

There has recently been some criti-
cism in England at the absurd and in,
congruous treatment of allseorical
and historical characters in a glass
windows in houses of Worship crit.
cism that might be carried to sirailar
decorative work in this country It is
remarked that It is too frequently the
case that stained glass windows are
pictorial fictions Of artists who are
none too well informed on the sub
iects that they endeavor to portray.
Chancellor Prescott, OF Carlisle, Eng.
land, in granting permission for q
window tc be erected in st. Adams
church at that place In memory OF
the late Bishop Ware, insisted upon
amending the artists design that was
submitted. He objected to the coats
of-arms that had been placed upon
the angels, one of whom was repre-.
sented in the coat-of-arms Of the dean
and chapter Of Carlisle.
The chancellor was of the opinion
that the best authorities did not adorn
angels of any degree with coats-of.
arms. In the artists design for this
window, Osward, king of lsorthum
bria, who died at the early age OF
thirty.eight, was represented as an
aged man, with q flowing white beard
and this anachronism will have to
make way for beard nearer in har-
mony with tbe youthful king Of North.

Mary shook her head. 81 don't like

Father and the boys smiled. "Then
you will go abroad?' they demanded
breathlessly.
A cloud came over Mary's counte-
nance. 'T don't want to do any
thing" she said, but stay right here
and have good time"
The family exchanged glances. That
was exactly what they did not want
Mary to do. The tow-headed young
man from the hotel was entirely too
much In evidence. And they had am
bitions for Mary.

fond of Mary and they all wanted her

ing beauty in the family If she did
not live up to her social opportuni-
ties?
Meantime, Mary was again playing
tennis with the tow-headed young
man. She liked him very much. He
had kind eyes and pleasant manner
Mary was not sure whether she loved
him. but she thought 1t would not be
hard to do so. Anyhow, she did not
want to go abroad Or into society, for
1t seemed to her that these things
might separate her from the tow-head-
ed young man. She was sure that he
was poor, for he dressed very simply
and never talked Of having things
Mary's own family always talked Of
having things They made the most
Of their little income. Mary often
wished that there were more lamb
chops and less silver plate. She had
healthy appetite which demanded
plenty of bread and butter and less
formal service.
Therefore, she was pleased, when
after an exciting game. the tow-headed
young man suggested that they take
tea at an adjacent Inn Tea at that
inn always meant plenty Of French
pastries. and Mary had little girls
love for sweets.
While they drank their tea, the
tow-headed young man asked Mary
to marry him and Mary said Yes" :"

pleasant manner she said to herself
again, but she knew that was not the
only reason she cared Some deeper
instinct told her that she had found
