THE EVENING STORY.
HER VACATION.
Copyright, 1914. by ". werncr.)

Copyright, 1ei4. by ". werner)
That June morning Jean Lake was the
happiest girl in the world. To begin
with, 1t was June morning and a
June morning Is like no other. even
though the sun pours too freely into
narrow streets and all the flowers one
sees arc upon hats or behind the plate
glass of florists windows. She had felt
like running, skipping. hopping all the
way from the three-room nat In Mead
street. where she lived with Aunt JUL
ana, to the big department store down In
the very heart Of the shopping district.
However, she had not even walked: she
had taken the car. for she was late Aunt
Juliana was not feeling well. and she
had had all the mornings work to do.
Moreover, 1t promised to be busy day
at the store, for the June sales were on
and everybody who had a nickel was
out spending 1t. Yet, for all this, Jean
was the nappiest girl In the whole wide
world as she stood behind her counter
selling her marked-down summer blouses.
Nov that I've been so long telling you
that she was the happiest girl in the
whole world you are probably eager to
know the reason. So, I'll tell you that,
too. listen. you who stand behind coun-
ters six days out of the seven, eleven
months and a half out of every twelve.
Jean was going to have a vacation-two
whole beautiful weeks. to be spent from
the first day 10 the last at Eden Hill.
Eden Hill really is a great mountain in
the midst of other mountains, where ma
ture has been allowed to remain natural;
where fragrant, tangy bTeezes play for
ever through pine forests: where Icy
streams glitter and dance, and where one
can eat and sleep and dream day dreams
and read love stories to ones hearts
content. Jean never had been to Eden
Hill. but she had heard of 1t from the
lucky girls who had been there. 1t was
not expensive, il was not distant: and
as these two things were the onl'! ones
that prevented 1t from being fashion,
able it was highly desirable place Of
recreation for any little working girl who
does not care too much about beaus and
dancing. Since the summer before. when
Jean had not had a vacation. she had
been putting every dime and nickel
even every copper-she could spare from
her so a week into a tin box in the
upper right hand corner of her bureau.
For the first three or four months the
tin box had tangled when it was shaken,
but for some time it had ceased to be
musical-a sign that at last 1t actually
was beginning to be too full for ut
terance. One night Jean opened 1t and
shook out the contents and counted end
counted. Then next day she put in her
application for vacation and began to
make arrangements for going to Eden

this girl was sacrificing under that quiet
manner Of hers. Send her." he said
merely.
Aunt Juliana protested, Of course, but
what does q sick persons protest amount
to when you know that what you are do
ing is for her good? Jean more than
knew she was obeying the doctors or
ders.
So it was Aunt Juliana who went to
Eden Hill next day with = suit case In
which was packed all her best things and
those of Jeans which were At for an old
suppose I shouldn't be so selish," she
said feebly.
Jean laughed Aunt Juliana, I'm only
thanking God that 1t has all happened
so that you can go when you so much
need to-" she replied.
After seeing Aunt Juliana of she went
hack to the nat to begin her vacation as
best she might. She began it with q
good. hard cry into which many elements
entered-pity for Aunt Juliana and dis
appointment for herself and sorrow for
the beautiful dream that was shattered
like bubble. For she would not be at
Eden Hill. and some other girl would be
there. and Mark Culver-oh, Mark Cul-
veri
Those two weeks were the longest Jean
had ever passed. She tried to be brave;
she tried to rest; she tried to pretend.
Every two or three days Aunt Juliana
wrote on a postcard that she was getting
strong and well. That was all she ever
did write. Education had not been grant
ed Aunt Juliana in her youth. ....
The last day Of jeans vacation. the day
on which she expected Aunt Juliana to
arrive, she put everything in exquisite
order and got up dainty meal. And
while she was In the midst of her cake
baking the door opened and there was
Aunt Juliana-and Mark Culver! He had
come all the way home with her.
Aunt Juliana was radiant. She had
had the time OF her life. Mark had been
devoted to her. He had given her candy
and flowers and books. And he talked
about you every minute" she confided to
Jean later. II could see he was awful
cast down because you weren't there. We
got acquainted the first day. and he was
like a son to me-or a nephew. He
couldn't have fallen more in love with
you II you'd been right there. I showed
him your letters and told him all about
you. and he said that a girl that'd do
what you've done must be just the kind
Of girl he was looking for. Looks to me,
Jean, as IL it was all settled but popping
the question:
And 1t was.

In the European dining cars there is

Diners in Peril in our American

The foreign dining car meals are much
cheaper. 1t is true. than We know IN
America, but on the other hand one eats
what is prepared for him and there Is
no long bill Of fare to challenge ones
choice. The menu is prepared and Is
served. You have no alternative and there
is little or no chance to obtain your food
out Of tho regular order in which It is
planned to be served.
Perhaps the reason for the high prices
In American dining cars Is the American
demand for a large variety, which forces
tho cars to carry extra large stocks OF
foodstufts. much Of which is wasted. but
all Of which must be paid for. In fact.
the statistics go to show that the Amer

DINING CARS.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

Speaking Of dining cars can you
think OF anything where you can find 50
much variety and so much monotony at
the same time? You know when you
start toward the car that It will have
tables down both sides Of an aisle. tables
for two on one side and tables for four
on the other: that there will be windows
to furnish air for POUR lungs and cinders
for your food. and that baked beans and
preserved figs in sirup will be on the bill
Of fare. II 1t is q strange road to you,
you are entitled to three guesses as to
whether there will be an extra charge for
b. and b. dread and butter), whether the
conductor will write down your order. or
have you do It. whether the waiter win
spill your coffee out Of cup or out Of a
pot. and as to whether or not you hang
your hat on q hook or poke It underneath
your chair
Also. in the United States, there are
geographical peculiarities having to do
with the serving Of intoxicating drinks
ana hot corn bread. the matched complex
versational relations between them and
their guests. Where hot corn bread Is a
regular feature and the Aforesaid intoxi-
eating drinks are strictly taboo. the wait

pears, the high ball is occasionally seen,

timidiy as "Say.'
Westward the quality Of the food in
cfeases and the prices thereof slightly
diminish. while the character Of the serv-
ice becomes spotted and smirched. And
once IN while. only every so often, the
nm
bill Of fare is changed nearly twica =

food is served. All this has nothing to
do with the relative merits Of the table
