NAUGHTY HOTEL ..WAITER
1t Is Not Easy to Get Even With Those
Who Are Arrogant and Of
fenslVe.

Some hotel walters long since grad
uated from the sphere of usefulness
TO one of arrogant haughtiness. There
are only two ways of getting even
with such 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
he waiter approaches with look OF
scoln and contempt on his face give
aim a John Arthur Johnson punch with
The club
Such a course is likely to produce
more or less Of sensation in well
regulated dining rooms, and some may
hesitate to adopt it on that account,
though they may rest assured that It
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 it.
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. :.
Cheap skate" he says to himself
Look at that necktie, will you, and the
way he combs his hair! I'll give him to
Clarence:
Being given to Clarence is the depth
Of degradation. The table presided
over by Clarence is in a dark corner
and Clarence spends most of his time
in the kitchen with the chef and his
assistants. At the table with you sits
4 man wearing a rubber collar and an
other with uncombed hair, both ol
them eating beefsteak and onions
When you give your order Clarence
looks 1T you with whitening scorn.
Wouldnt it have been q great pleas
are to have seen a double row of such
walters standing upon the mat at Rene

The following protest against sub

appeared recently in New York city
daily:
Yesterday | had occasion TO visit
one of the department stores and saw
displayed for sale something new in
ladies neckwear' - the 'Chautecer
bow. the name evidently suggested by
Rostand's animal play. A technical
description of this sllken. fluted crea-
ton Is quite beyond my knowledge
Of such matters, but what did un-
lerstand was the little brown birds
head which stood out from she center
Of the bow. could hardly believe my
eyes. and looked again to make sure
that it was nothing less than the
head Of that world famous songster
the European skylark.
HAL to thee, blythe spirit
(BiTd thou never werD
That from heaven or usaT II
FUurest thy tull heart.
"She!ley's lines ran mockingIy
through my head as | looked at that
pathetic tiny bunch Of brown feathers,
with its staring glass eyes and shriy-
eled bill, all that was left of the most
JOY giving bird that ever sprinkled the
air with its song.
"And the price Of it, bow and all. was
90 ceuts-in another store it was 40
and for 1.-THE, then, Of this paltry
sum there had been destroyed such
beauty, such poetry, such joy. as could
not be replaced by a syndicate Of bill
lionaires. No bird in the world per,
haps has inspired so many poets. The
Ettrick Shepherd sang:
Bird of the wilderness,
Blythesome and cumberless
Sweet be thy matin Ger moorland and lea.
And here we find the mummied
head Of the modest little bird for sale
on a piece of cheap ribbon in the crush
and babel Of department stores. Could
degradation be carried further? And
there were scores OF such bows, each
bearing the head of a skylark.
Appeals TO sentiment are good
when there Is any sentiment to appeal
to, but think Of trying to appeal to
the sentiment Of woman who will
wear Chantecler' bow! She wouldn't
understand your language. II we are
to preserve our birds we must have

that they are enforced The Audubon
