the statement. There Is nothing in name" this particular name, Geraldine Dixie" appealed to him and he at once began looking around for something that would justify Geraldine in hastening hither In the meantime. he wrote her as fol- lows:
 You are right about there being large mining operations In this To- cality. but at present all the wait CTS are Of the male sex. It was an experienced woman. Geraldine, who said. 'If you want to keep a man in good humor, feed the brute" While that may be true, the Stroller is willing to risk his standing at home on the assertion that the person who serves a meal has just as much to do in the line Of making that meal enjoyable as has the quality Of Che meal served. For example: Most men prefer beans a Ia trail served by neatly dressed waitress to strawberry shortcake served by a male with cigarette stain on his fingers.
 So certain is the Stroller that he can secure a position for you that he does not hesitate to advise you to start on receipt Of thls letter. The position may not be in a mine messhouse. but it will be some place where you will be well treated.
 Wear anything you happen to have that hs you. Geraldine, for if there is anything a man does not like in the morning it Is to have a waitress whose clothes don't nt galllvanting around the table and ever and anon asking him if he win have another dish Of prunes. A flowing sleeve that finds its way

into the coffee or drags affection ately across the Cream of Wheat as it is placed before the average man is also an abomination.
 II your arms are plump with a few cute little dimples here and there you will find them great as- slstance to you in holding your job. The majority of men. Geraldine, have a weakness for cute little dimples and the farther a man is away from the family hgtree, the more this little weakness is appar- ent.
 As to aprons, Geraldine, we are what you might term somewhat "Anicky." They should be of some pale soft color that Is pleasing to the eye. We prefer them worn with a einch with the seams calked and the crown sheets battered down. You should especially remember this 1T you are employed where the office force boards. but 1T your lot falls to a messhouse where the com mon laborers board, it wouldn't make much difference what you wear. just SO you wear smile. A gunnysack open at both ends and two vents for armholes will serve for an apron. The smile is all they will sec.
 As far as wages are concerned, Geraldine. that will be matter resting largely with yourself The tnt of your nose as you glide to and fro between the dining room and kitchen will have much to do with the rotundlty or slimness of your pay envelope after the first week. Do not make the mistake of stopping around and singing Dear ie."
 When you come to us, Geraldine. you will find as a light-rlmning do- mestic people. We do not dress for dinner and some Of us barely dress for breakfast.
 The time was. Geraldine, that to come north as waitress was to need a wedding trousseau lmmedi- ately. Eighteen years ago a hash erlno" with any old hug on her would receive a proposition of mar riage every time she delivered a second cup of coffee. That shows. Geraldine. that we are an impetu- ous people. AS a result Of this ar duous love making during the ear ly history Of this country, Gerald inc. many or tht waitrossees Of that day are our leading society ladies of today.
 When you decide to come, Ger aidino. come quietly register as Jane smith and send for the Stroll Ter. He will put you wise as to who is who. who au fait and who Is all fat.

n stone through the window. He was
arrested by Policeman Edward Bolger.

stature led others to tanta1ize him! He
would then do things he should not
do. She said he was n good "home
