was puzzled. Sammy should have
shanghaied Howe rather than permit
him to occupy such a prominent seat,
for of course he would try to nulllfy
the effect of the demonstration. Then
Benny noticed that Sammy wore
wide and fatuous grin - had the fel-
low been drinking? He had never
grinned like that in all the years OF
their acquaintance! And the pluggers
were worse than Sammy - whisper

eyes glued to the stage

From his position Benny could not
see as much as she could, and when
he moved a man slipped into the
space he had intended to fill. Sammy
was standing, his offering poised to
throw. With relief Benny speculated,
He must have put wires on all the
bouquets! That S it,
AS his gaze went past Ned Howe,
it rested on Alfie Lawler of Lawler
and Gordon, the two song writers who
had cripped Won Linden and Nolan
by starting catalog of their own.
Alfe had bouquet, Beyond him sat
Gordon, grinning harder than Sammy
and his cohorts, and Benny was
amazed to note that Gordon was pro-
vided with a larger floral piece than
Alfie.
Il think it S a burning shame for
one performer to get all them flowers
when the poor are starvin," said
Sandowlina Historically.
The stout young man ended his
medley, to moderate applause. He
rose and bowed essayed speech -
the house was instantly silent - and
smiling said after another bow, Il

Benny only stared. There was no
wire on Sammy's bouquet, and the
fragrant masses of bloom were heaped
around the feet of dark-haired, big
eyed girl in black velvet gown with
long train. The whole garment was
thickly sewn with brilliant rhine
stones, which the spotlight set
a-sparkle. Her arms were bare, and
Benny's solitaire was on her third
finger - his wedding ring, too. When
he saw that, he was half way down an
aisle, fully intending to shout at her,
Take off that wedding ring!"
But men in aisle seats were clutch

his sleeve, and Sandowlina, good
friend that she was, had hold of him,

Section Men Think They are Under

Jamestown. N. d., Feb. s.-Some Of
the yard and section men have been of
the opinion that s1.S5 was not suffi-
cient pay with which to support a
family where they had to pay rent
and buy fuel and this week some Of
them in the yards asked for a raise.
They hold that the Italian rev get

bunk cars furnished them free of
charge and also the necessary fuel
to warm them. Residents of the city
who have families and make their
horne here believe that it is impossible
to successfully compete against this
class Of labor. handicapped as they
are and in their desire to give their
children some schooling inc advan-
tages. 1t is reported that some Of the
men have quit their jobs, or have lost
them, and will seek work elsewhere.
1t is understood the the hours Of work
for the men has been increased by
the road to ten and the pay raised
to $1.50, which is some concession and
will help somewhat.

as follows: e
"A man who had sold his Iowa

money, came into the dining a with
a large unfenced appetite. A waiter

conductor came along with a pencil

on the men card proved too small
for his Eyes and to save trouble and
delay he asked the conductor of the
dining car to send him a fair sized
Sunday dinner and it would be all
right. After a station or two pass
ed the dinner began to come.

was brought in a large silver bowl
and a pound or so of the great family
OF crackers accompanied it. The first
curse was a success and after the
remove the waiter began clearing up
the table to make ready for the grand
entree.

yard duck served in a family sized
platter. The duck had evidently been
we'll fed and had often enjoyed the
hospitality Of the shaken table cloth.
The duck was surrounded by a Christ
mas wreath and when the side dishes
began to trail in it began to look like
a feed for a birthday party or a sill

baked potato was brought in.

WOMAN CHOSEN PRESIDENT
Mrs. Lucille N. Chapman to d.
rect Success Lake.

At a meeting OF the board OF directors
of the Success Lake Realty Company, OF
Long Island. held yesterday at the offices
Of the company. Lucille y. Chapman,
wife of Elverton Il. Chapman, the bank
er. was elected president Of the company.
Mrs. Chapman is the first woman to be
elected president OF a realty company
operating in this state. it is said
The board Of directors, among whom
are some of the most successful real es-
tate operators or Long Island did not
elect Mrs. Chapman to the presidency
of the company simply to be fiGurehead
nor because she is heavy stakeholder,
but on account of her executive ability
and owing TO her successful trading IN
real estate, she having made large profits
in Chicago suburban realty transactions.
In regard TO her election a member of
the company said last night: Mrs. Chap
mans election to this important office is
further evidence that the prejudice against
women entering the political and busl-
ness world is fast passing away, and men
of affairs are beginning TO realize that
the tact required successfully to manage
the household and the diplomacy neces-
sary in connection with social problems
are of value in solving the perpleXing
questions which are constantly coming
before the directory of business corpora
tons
