TheEpening Story
Each TO Her Desire.
Copyright. 1916. By W. Werner

The first rush OF the noon hour
was just over and the owner OF "A
popular downtown tea room motion
ed her head waitress to a secluded
corner. As their eyes wandered
over the six or eight occupied IA,
bles. she announced softly: IL can't
make II out for the life OF me. II
has been going on now for more
than week-and some OF my very
best patrons. too. II is past my un
derstanding' She looked across the
room and then at the head waitress
as IL for information.
"I've questioned the girls" an
swered the younger woman, land
they say they have shown every at
tention possible, but the queerest
part is that they are all so set about
f. Now, she has been coming here
two years with slight inclination
OF her head toward a large woman
In blue broadcloth. "and I usually
know what will tempt her. but Mon
day she insisted on two orders OF
efeamed potatoes. She hasn't taken
potatoes for months, and not anoth-
or thing would she have. Day be-
fore yesterday she demanded toma-
toes, and nothing else, and she ate
every slice, too. And what do you
suppose she ordered today? Five
slices of buttered toast. and she's
eating the last piece now " Then
after a pause, IT'S so unaccountable
that I've been keeping track OF some
Of the tables"
The two looked at each other as
II for explanation. and then shook
their heads.
THE girls in the kitchen are near
ly frantic, the head waitress went
on, what with double orders and
things giving out and then other
things that have always taken well
not being asked for at all The
creamed chicken with mushrooms
has given out twice In a week. and a
fresh vegetable Is sometimes order
ed three times by one person. with
not single thing to 90 with It, And
there is no telling what some OF
them may demand tomorrow. The
desserts are going begging. though

One as she opened her. handbag
announced; well. there is nothing
like exercise. Just whenever you
think of it, and any part OF the body
which is most convenient. just ex.
ercise whenever it~occurs to me
When waiting for the car you can
move your arms or do II whenever
YOU have spare moment. / read
that one OF our famous actresses
does this, and keeps herself down
wonderfully"
"Oh, try rolling" suggested an
enthusiastic one. I'm doing IL as
well as standing, and ! like II so
much"
"Oh. did that for two weeks. 70
the other answered, "and II made
me dreadfully seasick | had to
give II up
We'll, I'd certainly try standing,
argued the last one, as she passed
through the door. 81 know IL will
reduce you read that certain
ruler Of Europe who doesn't like
stout people has ordered all the fat
ones in his court 10 stand 20 min
utes after each meal. And I'm sure
am going TO give II fair trial. y
ITO reduce themselves. murmur-
ed the proprietress as she sank into
chair the head waitress pushed
forward. "A sort OF anti.fat league
or wn.with-the-scales movement"
And she looked over TO where the
plump young girl and her companion
were conversing pleasantly, drew
her hand across her eyes and said:
We'll, anyway, it's a relief to know
what they are doing il for. II eases
my mind considerably.
A thin. nervous looking woman
who had been waiting her turn at
the desk laid down her money alb
sently and remarked in n dazed tone
as if TO reassure herself that she had
heard correctly: Just eating one
thing at meal, Why, I'm doing
that to get fat" and went slowly out,
a worried look upon her face.

won't count against me. II is much
more pleasant to stand with some
one than stand by ones self"
DO YOU suppose it's a game or
some sort?' whispered the head
waitress.
cor a secret society?" added her
employer.
Then they gasped as they heard
the Older woman say. You are very
foolish 10 be doing Il; you are just
right as yon are
"Oh, no; I'm not smiled the girl
You see. I'm just like mother, and
she insists on my doing H." She
looked at her wrist watch and said,
II have an engagement in 10 min
utes. but still have Is minutes to
stand"
Al another table two women eyed
the menu critically, and finally one
remarked: Il haven't had rice foi
so long. and | am 80 fond OF IT, -
and said 10 the waitress: Bring
me two orders OF rice" while the
other thought for a moment and
then remarked: 81 am going 10
break over today and have more
than one thing Bring me some
creamed chicken and tomato
salad"
IL would rather do this than
stand" observed the one who gave
the rice order, "and, anyway, you
know I wouldn't have the time, for I
only have a half-hour at noon" AS
the waitress started to fill her glass
she ordered her To take 1t away. 81
might be tempted to drink some. =
she observed. while her companion
said They do say that no water
works wonders"
The proprietress and the head
waitress stood motionless, one look
ing searchingly from table TO table
as if TO solve the question, and the
other apparently lost in thought. FL
nally, as though an electric shock
had passed through them. the four
women who were standing together
gathered up their belongings and
moved toward the cashiers desk.
The woman in blue broadcloth,
having finished her toast. Joined
them and recognizing several ac-
quaintances, remarked: 81 may take
TO standing myself in a few days,
but then I've only tried eating just
one thing at meal for two weeks,
so it hasn't had fair trial yet"
One of the four said: "Oh, | am
sure you would like standing. eat
