Next day, thousands Of warm-heart
ed New Workers were packed along
the Water Front all the Way from the
Battery to Grants Tomb, giving roya

any rate, they were Packed.
When Elan and Claudine entered
the Hotel, the discerning Bell-Hops
had them stand back until the others
had registered.
They were Important, but they did
not carry any Signs.
Elan should have worn the Letter
of Credit on the outside.
After they had taken the Imperial
Suite and invited all the Servants on
the Twelfth Floor to a Silver Shower.
they found that the Call-Bells worked
fine If Elan moved in the general
direction of Button, a handsome
West Pointer would fit in with a
pitcher of Iced Water and then hover
around for his Bit.
Both realized that the first requisite
was lot of new money.
Even when they raped sharply
with Spoon and ordered Garcon to
hurry up the Little Birds with a
Flagon of st. Regis Bubbles to come
along as a Drench, they realized that
they did not look the Parts.
Elan still combed his Hair in the
style approved by the BARRIERS Guide
and Manual for 1887.
Claudine was fully clothed as far UP
as her Neck and didn't have the
Nerve to hoist the Lorgnette.
ELAN went out and had himself
draped by swagger Tailor who was
said to do a lot of Work for the Van.

In his Afternoon Wear he resembled
the Manager Of Black-Goods Depart
ment
After DOMINIC the complete Soup
and Fish, known in swozzey circles as
Thirteen and the Odd, he didn't look
as much like a Waiter as one might
have supposed. He looked more like
the Bus who takes away the Dishes.
Claudine yielded herself up to a
Modiste. The good Woman from out
OF Town was trife Long In the
Tooth at this stage of our Narrative,

she was about half way between the
Trundle Bed and her First Party.
She ordered all the chic Novelties

Elan began to walk about ten feet
behind her. wondering vaguely If his
Family was still respectable.
The new Harness and careless
habit of counting Money in Public
soon gave them an enviable Reputa-

they could not observe that they were
moving any nearer to the Newport
Colony.
The shift from Pigs Knuckles, to

Gravy came under the head of Regu-
lar Food.
She could turn out Waffles as long
as there was Customer in sight. The
Biscuits on which she specialized were
light as Down
The things she fixed to Eat were
Fine and Dandy, but she never had
heard of Cuisine. When you took
her away from regular Chow and
made her tackle something Casserole
or En- Tasse, she blew.
Also there was a Maid who should
have belonged to the Stevedores'
Union.
She could pack Victuals in from
the Buttery and slam them down on
the Table, a la Commercial Hotel,
but when 1t came to building up an
intricate Design with an ingrowing
Napkin, three Spoons, four Knives,
five Forks, and all the long-stemmed
Glasses, to say nothing of an artful
pyramiding Of Cut Flowers around the
Candelabra, then she was simply a fe-
male Blacksmith.
Claudine would throw Dinner
once in a while, just to subdue the
Wife and Daughter of the National
Bank, but the Crew would nearly al
ways crab the Entertainment.
With the Support accorded by the
bone-headed Staff, she had a fat
Chance to give correct Imitation of
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish.
All during the nine Courses she had
to yelp more Orders than the Fore
man of Street Gang. A Megaphone
would have helped some.
The Hostess who wishes to look
and carry on like Duchess, certainly
finds it vexing when pop-eyed Lizzie
leans against all of the principal
Guests In turn and then endeavors to
shoot the Episcopalian Rector in the
Neck with a gush of real Champagne.
After one of these fiiv Affairs, at
which the Rummies had balled up
the whole Menu, Claudine came to the
front with an Ultimatum. She said
she was going to can the awful Birth
place and spend the remainder of her
Natural among the real Dowdy-Dows.
"Right-o, Babel" spoke up Elan.
To-day | have put the Works into

nior so far as the plant is concerned,
but boosts me into the Charley

Boys and most of 1t is Turkey. | am

ward the East should be aroused from
its Lethargy. Go as far as you like"
The two were foxy. For monetary
and real estate Reasons they did not
give 1t out cold that they were max
ing final Getaway. They planned to
have Gusta remain at the dear old
Dump as Caretaker, but it was mere
ly Bluff.
When the Town Hack followed

Claudine leaned out and said Fare

LONDON Dec. 12-Thc scenes around the recruiting offices in Lon- don and other cites were almost as brisk today as Id any time during H.. week.
