Artistic Cross-Examination

Said John b. Curtis, the president
OF the Indiana Society of New York,
speaking about the recent heckling
OF Detective Burns when he was on
the witness stand in a memorable case
said: I'm afraid that sometimes VIC

with witnesses. How much better
was the handling OF a detective who
was testifying in a London court. II
was q divorce case and Frank Lock
wood was the opposing counsel. The
detective witness came TO the stand

gold fob and seals and looked much
more like a respectable middle-agcd
solicitor than a. member of the police
force. The mans testimony was like

lockwood began his cross-examina-
ton very gently and was excessively
polite.

loved with white cheeks and wide, burning
eyes, My heart came up in my throat-and

that fool Tony Wade do nowo | was con-
scious of determination to thresh him if
in his literal mindedness he took the wrong
turn.
For long minute he stared at Elizabeth,
then he turned swiftly and inquiringly
to me. l answered his unspoken question
snappily enough.
"Yes, it was hoax, in the beginning,
then, as he still looked at me. flung at him
words as heavy as stones. "AIy God, Tony.
you aren't the only man who loves her! But
your the only man she loves!'

60 fast enough, for l heard Tony gasp, and
at the same time little sob from Elizabeth.
Then he said:
"Betty, what do care how it happened,
so long as l have you now? Oh, Girl, III
never let you go, never agaln.'

exactly as though they two were alone in the
universe-as indeed they were.
And then l recognized the fact that it
was up to me to take the other woman
home, since Tony had forgotten her very
existence.

l had never heard before in all the years

4Betty, Betty! Oh, little lost girl are you
quite safe?"
Possessive tenderness and clean mans love
were in his eyes. Whatever the cause of
their foolish quarrel, no other woman had
stolen his heart!
Elizabeth lay still for moment, looking
at him. Then she spoke to me in a soft,
weak little voice. "Mr. Walker, I'm sorry
l frightened you; but, you see, playing the
part of the pursuing woman scared me SO

lucky that Tony got there in time!'
She smiled at me, her whimsical, boyish
smile, and was glad she did not realize the
inner turmoil that shook me.
Wade looked at us both with his honest,
uncomprehending eyes; but the girl sat up
little and her face went pink, as if white
rose had miraculously turned crimson.
Il can't play the game through-even to

Continued from page 4

There is nothing like crowd to set the mag
ination going. The stranger remembers all
he has heard and read on the subject of "lob-
ster palaces, and his mind starts working up
grand and exciting pictures. He sees an
elderly man seated across the table from
young girl, and his imagination whispers to
him, @There is an old goat flirting with
chorus girl; when, as a matter of fact, in
all probability the elderly man is just show
ing his young daughter Sthe sights instead
of allowing her to see them unchaperoned or
with party of young people.
The stranger sees man IN evening dress
at table surrounded by three women in
handsome gowns. and his imagination tells
him, @Gay spendthrift, wasting his fortune
in riotous living with giddy companions
He sees the man opening lots of champagne,
and he is positive he is not mistaken. He
doesn't realize that the man may be simply
a wine agent pushing his own goods, his
own brand; that this is merely curious
phase of his business. If the stranger looked
closely he would observe that the labels on
the bottles on this mans table were not con-
cealed by the ubiquitous napkin, and that
the bottles were not left hidden in the ice
bucket on the floor. They are placed where
all can see them and where all can see the
name of the fluid they contain. The stranger
probably does not know, either, that the
handsomely dressed women may be there
for the express purpose of showing off some
modiste's new styles of gowns. There are
lots of women who make a living in this
way, as restaurant models, you know. They
don the dresses and show them off in public
places.
The stranger sees a young fellow seated at
a nearby table with fashy girl, and his
imagination slips him the hint that here IS a
young millionaire blowing in his fortune on
an actress. As a matter of fact, what the
young fellow is doing is blowing in five dol
lars of his hard-earned thirty dollars a week
salary on some girl he hkes-and that's all
there is to it. You will find fools in all COM
munities But the stranger thinks he sees,
and believes, and eventually goes back home
and spreads, the infamy of the lobster pal
ace.
TO conclude this gentle undertaking treat
ment OF the widespread and erroneous
conception of the typical Broadway night
time restaurant NAV it not be without
its element of uplift born of better under
standing!-let me give you my idea of the
typical outsiders idea of the New York
lobster palace
His definition: A New York lobster
palace is an elegant, exclusive place where
you can't get in unless YOU wear dress suit
and order champagne and Holsters; where
you've got to give the head waiter fifty
dollars for table; where Lillian Russell,
August Belmont, Andrew Carnegie, Tetraz-
zini and other famous people hang out
every night in the week; where the corks go
pop-pop-pop until dawn: where merrymak-
ing is prolonged until far into the next after
noon; and where everybody dances on the
tables and breaks at least half dozen cleo
tric lights before being quelled. In the Ian
guage of well known song, may the out
slider know better now
