AS the janitor descended the stairs

Of the vestibule door. The assistant
looked up with his usual amiable grin
and the janitor seated himself on the
lowest stair and cleared his throat
with his usual preliminary cough

lose her respect and you miss your
chance Of her slipping you any little

If you will look into your own hab-
it's you will probably find that you are
unconsciously left-handed in this or
that matter. The other evening we
noticed man dealing cards with the
left hand. He admitted that he could
not deal them with the right. But
there was nothing else in which he
was left-handed-until he remembered
that he always buttoned his clothes
with the left hand. And then an OBJ
servant man remarked that this is the
main difference between men and
women, for women button their
clothes with the right hand, and the
clothes are cut accordingly. Men with
the left. There seems moral con-
