COMMANDED by about 81 worth of light
labor. light china and light music
which YOU have heard before. AFTER
leaving your hat with a Wall street
syndicate, you pay all the way from
10 cents to quarter for the privilege
of getting 1t back and wearing 1t once
more. The difference between man
and woman, indeed, today Is quite
simnle. A woman pays $50 all at once
for her hat, while man pays 30 TOT
his and lfifty-five more in tip lnstali-
ments for storage at restaurants
while he is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain lie
between times. i.
The object of all restaurants Is to
furnish YOU with everything you want
except nourishment. This is carefully
EXTRACTED from all food before 1t
reaches you. 4
every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to 1t a homeless hotel and
drupless drugstore, also newspaper
stand where you can buy a paper for
NOT over twice what you can get 1t
for across the street and box offlce

want them at the same rates. Every
restaurant also has a wine cellar,

sixteen years old. He remained there
three years, and then after spending
a little time in Kentucky decided to
enter the law department of the
University of Virginia in 1873. He
finished the work there in about half
the time usually required, and began
practising in Richmond, where he
remained until 1898.
Page had always felt the charm
of times gone by. He tried to fol-
low the law faithfully; but more
and more strongly came the call to
picture artistically "a 2civilization
which, once having sweetened the
South, has since we'll nigh persisted
from the earth" He yearned for the
old plantation life,-the stately man
sions of his forefathers, the gran
deur to which those men and wom-
en- of other days attained, and the
overgrown fencerows and fields or
his own country home.

The author himself tells how he came
to write this tale:
Just then a friend showed me a
letter which had been written by a
young girl to her sweetheart in a
Georgia regiment, telling him that she
had discovered that she loved him,
after all, and that If he would get

marry him; that she had loved him

together in the little schoolhouse in
