So when Hep exhausts his nine or

From the very moment we entered

giving of aims.
The attendant at the revolving
doors imprisoned nice old lady in

from communication with the world,
while he waited for Hep to dig in his
jeans for the customary quarter.
A hall-boy, paging a missing hus-
band, stopped short as he saw our
party approaching, arranged his face
in imitation of Spanish mackerel,
saluted Hep and received ten cents for
his trouble.

doomed bulkily in our pathway and
without warning suddenly stopped
down to pick up a pin. Hep did a
hoodah over the tame Cops feet and

procession moved on.

AS we approached the coat room
the girl in charge was seen to close
her eyes in prayer. She didn't open

planned to her that if she spent the
money he gave her for a new hat she
wouldn't have to give it to the in
come-tax gatherers. Whereupon she
was glad and showed her gum chew

at the inside of my hat to see if it
was expensive and sighed deeply as
we passed on.
At the door of the soup room we
were met by EffendI Bey. the head
