The head waiter met us at the edge
of the reservation.
Hep slipped him something that
made a noise like five dollars and the
H. w. bowed. Hep slipped him again
and he bowed lower. Hep slipped
him another little map of the mint and
H. WIS forehead scraped the floor.
Hep ceased slipping and the II. w.
came up on the other side and led
us to a table.
The room was a-daZZle with Gaudy
Lights. Rag-time music hurried away
from a preoccupied orchestra, hit the
ceiling, bounced off and scampered
around the tables. Laughter, both re-
fined and careless, tried to drown the
clatter of dishes-and won out. Ciga-
rette smoke and Mary Garden per
fune clinched in a death struggle all
over the place and Mary put the boots
to Murad every time.

Teacher Should Have Known,

The naughty boy of the class came
into school half an hour late. He
apologized to the lady teacher and,
pulling an orange from his pocket,
gracefully proffered it as a propitia-
tory gift.
Just a trifie to his surprise it was
promptly accepted and put into the
teachers desk. When dinner time
arrived the young a showed re-
luctance to depart.
The teacher, with covert amuse-
ment, watched him as he. awkwardly
hung about. and finally inquired:
"Well, Tommy, why don't you go?"
Want me orange" he muttered.
your orange? Why, o gave it to
me. You said you had brought it for
me-" e~xpostulated the teacher. "Yes."
admitted the youngster, aggrieved,
"but yer knowed I was only kiddin'."

His father cut out the breathing

left Hep with $4,000 and a long dry
spell on the inside.
Hep has been in the surf eve since,
His only recreation between bars
is golf. He invented the G. A. r.
score in that game-out in '61, back
in '65.

over the phone and, later on, with
Peaches all dolled up like a Coro,
landscape, we met Hep by appoint
ment in front of Bustafiddlestrings
Cabaret.
Hep in his man-about-town scenery
was a sartorial dream in black and

by ordering a settler lemonade it
didn't make much difference what
called him.
Hep must have been sitting over a
trapdoor, because suddenly wine-cool-
ers began to festoon themselves
around about him. Blue w~ine-coolers
appeared at his right, magenta wine
coolers at his left, and ice, drift ice
as far North as the eye could see.
Presently a platoon of walters began
to annoy the corks and then followed
a correct imitation of the second day
at Gettysburg. All.
One cork went over quickly to an
other table and struck a fat moneyed
person from Pittsburgh between the
second and third floor of his accordion
chin. He thought it was one O'Clock.
so he arose hurriedly and left the
room.
For months he'll be telling the home
folks how he beat the police to it at
closing time.
Meanwhile Max was overheard with
a splash. For the first ten minute
he had three walters on the verge of
nervous p~rostration trying to supply

play Rugby rules-he used two
glasses and both hands. After a time,
however, he feathered both <oars and

Peaches took the count, then she
leaned over and whispered to me.
What is he?-a painter?"
