rooms he had furnished anew to honor
the Homecoming of the second Mrs.

shining freshness of it all. The little
sitting room held him spellbound. Its
gorgeous Powered walls, its bright
hued carpet. the new nickel trimmed

not venture. You are not Bogle's
friend; you are fed transient Gus
toner. and you and he may not meet
again until the blowing of Gabriel's
dinner horn. So take your change and
go-to the devil if you like. There
you have Bogle's sentiments.
The needs of Bogle's customers were
supplied by two mattresses and a
voice. One of the mattresses was
named Aileen. She was tall. beauti-
full. lively. gracious and learned in per-
siflage. Her other name? There was
no more necessity for another name
at Bogle's than there was for finger
bowls.
The name of the other waitress was
Tidy. Why do you suggest Matilda?
Please listen this time-Tildy. Tidy!
Tidy was dumpy. plain faced and too
anxious to please to please. Repeat
the last clause to yourself once or
twice and make the acquaintance Of

The voice at Bogle's was invisible
It came from the kitchen and did not
shine in the way of originality. It
was heather voice and contented it.

lions emitted by the waitress concern

Will it tire you to be told again that
Aileen was beautiful? Had she DON

and had you seen her you would have
fastened to say so yourself.
The customers at Bogle's were her
slaves. Six tables full she could wait
upon at once. They who were in a
hurry restrained their Impotence for
the joy Of merely gazing upon her
swiftly moving. graceful figure. They
who had finished eating ate more that
they might continue in the light of her
smiles. Every man there-and they
were mostly men-tried to make his
impression upon her.
Aileen could successfully exchange
repartee against dozen at once. And
every smile that she sent forth lodged.

If the transfents were entranced by

thing that is uncertain is disturbing 10
confidence
Whatever hesitation may have ex-
listed in the industries and the markets
has now been largely eliminated. The
labor situation is much less acute. and
notices of wage advances by railroads
and leading industries promise much for
the future. The influence OF previous
uncertainties was mostly felt in the
speculative markets. Outside of these
there is a vast aggregate of activity
which is made conspicuous on the gain OF
1872 per cent in railroad earnings and the
Increase of 211 per cent in bank clear
ings over 1909. and Of 142 per. cent over
1906 for the month OF March.
