How to Make a Hit!
BIZ Alma Woodspoyd

Copyright. 1915. By The Prsss Pub,ixhins Co.
The New York Evening World).
On a PdTl0r Car.

On Parior Car.
SlRST: Be sure to cart along with
L you all tho luggage that you
won't possibly need during the
two and one-half days you are to be
absent. Take the largest suit case
AND a satchel AND a hatbox AND
two umbrellas (though you're only
one), a Jewel case and maybe a
shawl strap. For carrying this tom
mage from the station proper TO the
car "a distance OF half a mile, these
dayS give the porter n nickel and
four pennies. because that's all tho
change you have besides several
quarters and a dollar.
2. When that porter has deposited
you at your car call the porter In
charge OF your car to put your things
In the rack-as many az will At.
Scatter the others around the fioor,
mainly In the aisle, 90 that people
coming into the half-light looking for
their seats can fall over them with
out going out OF their way.
8. Before the train pulls out, call
tho porter and tell him that you're
sure you'll want your window opeu
and that he'd better get a screen
right away. The ventilators are ali
working and the day is cold. Most
likely you'll freeze to death when you
get started, but while you're still in
the shed insist upon the screen.
Z. Ask him what the electric but.
ton 10 for. When he tells you it's to
call him. use 1t the minute he gets
out Of sight.
s. As the train pulls out ask tho
man next to you II he has the COR
RECT time. That viii get his goat,
on tho dot. because his watch, by
CAD, hasn't lost minute In thirteen
years! When he's given you the
time. ask him for q timetable: and
when he hands you the timetable, ask
him what time the trains supposed
to get there.
9. Decide that something that's at
tho bottom os tho stack Ia tho raciS
have Immediately. Pull down the
smaller things on top, until ono OF
them grazss the bald head OF your
neighbor and another falls into his
lap, knocking OF his glasses, en- route
Keep on apologixing until he stops
reading his paper and gets up to
help you.
Z. After that excitement has sub.
sided and he Is just about to begin
sa wing his first cord OF wood. tar
him gently on the shoulder and ask
what bridge that IL and whether there
have been many accidents on tho
road lately. Tell him that you hav,
cousin who had his collar bono dis
located In q collision once and wha
l,he got out Of the company didn'
even pay for the bandasing.
