distance Were the circumstances any
less urgent thar they are. l should not
think Of such a thing
I will be extremely grateful to any
gentleman who upon seeing a tal'. good
| looking blonde. dressed In a tailor made
suit. will get her name and address and
send II TO me. I realize that his some
what unusual request demands some ex-
PLANTATION. The fact Ia l have lost or

| the Grand Central station. II happened
last Thursday when ! was sent there by
my wife to meet her sister when she
came In on the train from Boston and
I'm afraid 10 go home without her.
I, may be pointed out that ! should
at least give her name. but I hesitate
to do so without first getting her con-

/ station six different bars can be reached
without going to the street. What a
blessing In wet weather! II occurred
TO me that 1t would be a new experience
10 me- to visit each IN turn without using

got back to the station ! was late. ]
