Tennis Favorites Win
In Local Title Matches

The opening rounds of the District ten
mis- championship were played on the
Dumbarton Club courts yesterday after
noon and some real action was afforded
the small band of onlookers who chose
to pass an enjoyable afternoon on the
lawns of the club.
1t is interesting to note that in all save
one case the favorite for honors came
through with wins, while Douglas Hillyer,
who had been dubbed the probable win
ner in his matches with Lincoln, did not
play up to his standard. and managed to
grab but one match which he sandwich
ed between the two wins landed by his
opponent. Lincoln won the first. ! to ),
but Hillyer took the second, s to 6. The
third was a thriller at 10 to S in favor of
Lincoln.
At the outset it looked like a walk
over for Hillyer. He began the service
and won, but Lincoln's well-planned Of
fensive tactics forced 'Hillyer to pile up
many nets and outs until he sunk under
defeat. Summaries:

THE DAILY STORY.
SALARIES.
Copyright. 1915, by W. Werner,

1t was, of course. quite unreasonable
for Celia to scowl at the natty, good
looking stenographer from the man
ayers office who passed around the pay
checks to the clerks in the basement.
He could not know that she was dock
ed for being out day with a cold and
cut dollar because the manager had
been ordered to retrench. 1t was not
the stenographer's fault: it was not
though Cecilia wouldn't have believed
this-even the hectored managers
fault.
A year before, when she first came to
the city. she had seldom scowled. But
she found SO many conditions and in
cidents that called for either a scowl
or crying spell that she had to do
one or the other. Somehow she had
chosen to scowl, Though sometimes she
cried. And when salary already in

who didn't live at home-those having

Michigan or Ohio, that it didn't count

knew what a difference the two words
made. Celia's home was a memory.
Somewhere she had married brother.
After her parents death she had lived
with him. But he went west, and then
east. and then south. trying greener
fields, till he had no shoes left in which
to seek other fields. Celia had not so
much patience as her sister-in-law,
who did plain sewing to keep them
in leather. So she came to the city.
And since she was merely an ordinary
girl with ordinary sweet eyes and
face. she found that the city would
grudgingly give her a bare living. pro-

and neat, but kept it's pleasures for

down to half price. She was rather
embarrassed by the thanks that were
gasped at her. and her scowl faded
to give way to almost a hopeless eX-
preston. So much misery in the world!
1t seemed egotistical to whimper over
her own lack of happiness.
But the dapper young stenographer
There ives no sign of misery about
him. How alertly self-satisfied he
looked and how briskly self-satisfiedly
he walked! And when the day closed
celia sighed with a WEAKNESS which
work alone had not brought.
1T makes me tired. Mabel pouted
My blue silk stockings are a shade
too light to match my dress.
Celia hurriedly put away her apron
and sales check book and got out
would Mabel say if her pocketbook
was a shade too light to include seven
luncheons a week?
The streets were cheerfully brisk
with the homing crowds. Celia knew
perfectly well that many of them were
as homeless and homesick as herself
She tried whimsically to remember the
STATISTICS concerning the cityS num-
Der of roomers. But it didn't help.
Dispiritedly she walked the four blocks
TO her l. station and climbed the steps.
Below the overhead platform gay
restaurant blinked yellow tantaliza-
tion at her. She boarded at the same
place she roomed. 1t had seemed
cheaper. Now she wished she could
stay downtown for supper. The board
ing house was not a cheerful place.
Nearly every one there was engrossed
by personal affairs-and not joyful af-
fairs.

September and the air had chilled
since morning. She thought absently
that she must remember to wear her
heavy coat In the morning. Then she
started. Some one behind her was

weather stays cold this gray suit will
be out Of place. And I was counting
on wearing it another month. Say,

Celia turned. Her train would be
next. The stenographer was not four
feet from her. He looked at her ten
tatively; then he smiled tentatively.
Natty? Celia was beginning to guess
how hard it was to present that nat
tiness to the world. She had looked
at him many times. but never till now
had she seen that his necktie had been
pressed more than once. Celia smiled
