1t was at midnight that Mar
grave coming out of his Office after
several hours Of nerve-racking work
over some legal papers, faced the
illumined square.
The air was warm and spring-like,
with the hint of summer that comes
now and then in March.
Up one block and down two Mar
grave knew of a little place where
one could get chop and a salad. He
was hungry, and he turned his steps
northward, anticipating the savory
odors which would greet him when
he opened the door.
But he was not destined to open
that door for many days to come,
for as he turned the first corner some
one said breathlessly: "Can you tell
me" and stopped.
Margrave uttered an exclamation.
"When-where ?" was all he could
say.
"Let me CO." said the girl, and
began to walk rapidly away from
him.
Margrave followed her. "Kathe-
rine," he cried, '1et me speak to
you'll"
She slowed her pace somewhat.
81 don't know what you have to
say to me-" she said, with strange,
sdbdued note of ferceness, ''but ]
suppose 1 shall have to hear you"
Margrave was trying to think OF
some place that he could take her,
where she would not be subjected ia
criticism. The little cafe would moi
do, it was too Bohemian. A taxicah
whizzing by, with bags beside the
driver, gave him an idea.
"We can have supper in the lunch
room at the railroad station" he
said, 'it's open for belated travel
ers."
(Which way~ she gasped, and al

the golden-lighted lane of narrow

sissippi's population that has grown
accustomed to tipping and being tip
ped do not seem to realize that a new
law has become of full force and ef-
feet" as the legislators say.
In the first place, nobody entertains
any serious notion that the law is con-
stitutional. Second, they wouldn't OBJ
serve it, even if backed by sustaining
decisions from all the courts in the
lands, realizing that no effort will be
made at its enforcement.
In a few instances the anti-tipping
law may become the ecuse offered by
some jocular travelling man for hand
ing out the usual largesse to a grin
ming servitor, and earn for him the
approbium of being a tightwad, but
that will be about the limit of its OBJ
servance.

age in the dirigible airship Suchard
within the next week or two. The
starting point will be the Canary ISL

the Atlantic and land somewhere in
the West Indies, probably at the ISL
and of Barbados. He will be accom-
panied by Joseph Brucker, editor of
a Chicago German paper. The trial
trips in the vicinity of Berlin are set
to begin tomorrow, if all goes well.
The giant airship is fitted with two
110-horse power motors and is declar.

its kind ever built for the purpose OF
long voyages over seas. The Suchard
was constructed especially for ocean
airs and for sailing. with the trade

BAN UPON SOAP AMUSES
HEALTH OFFICERS HERE
Notwithstanding Threatened
Peril Washington People Will
Continue Usual Practices.

lea It'll officers and others in Washing

of DIR. j. j. Mullowney, Boston's health
officer, against the use of soap. are in
clned to poke fun at the anti-soap dia-
tribe Of the Boston man. DR.. Mullowney
condemns soap as carrier of germs,
virulent in the extreme, and declares to
an astonished world that the unwashed
stand a great deal better chance of sur
viyal than do those who persist in the
use of saponaceous compounds in. con-
nection with aqua pura, as. to make a

And Boston is noted for idiosyncrasies
But Washingtonians are in the habit Of
using soap-and water-at regular inter-
walls, and they not only seem to like 1t.
but thrive on it. OF course, in a matter
of this kind it's largely a question of
how one is brought up. and here In
Washington we are accustomed to fire.

DR.. MulloWney believes soap contains
the germs of typhoid. diphtheria, scarlet
fever and several other things. and de-
clares that when used on the human
body these germs get into the system
and doom the victim to an untimely de-
mise. Health experts in Washington
pooh-poOh the pronOuncement of the Bos
ton man and say that good soap is made
at temperature that spells sudden death
to all microbes, bacilli, bacteria, ct i'd
cmne genus.
So. despite the anti-soap propaganda
going out from the home of the sacred
Goldfish. the Aladdin cooker. esoteric

people will continue to answer in the
affirmative the famous phrase which
runs Good morning; have you used
Plums soap this morning.
