We dined with Fothergil Finch the
other evening in his favorite eating
place.
1t is a few blocks distant from
Washington square and is OF the red
ink species of the genus basement

Here sits the romantic shoe clerk,
proud of his easy mastery over the
art of eating spaghetti, and imagines
fondly that the gentleman In the cor
ner who casts furtive glances at uim
is another o. Henry. who purposes
making him a hero OF fiction; while
the gentleman in the corner. a Yonk-
ers rent collector. feeds his eager
soul upon sthe fancy that the shoe
clerk is a cubist painter.
A real cubist painter, whose own
ambition II is to be mistaken for a
Mexican revoIutionist, believes the
rent collector from Yonkers to be a
gunnan.
The quiet, well-mannered, incon-
spicuously dressed person with the
receding chin and the weak eyes,
near the shoe clerk, really is a gun
man, we'll known to the police, who
steals in here to dine because he
thinks the place is tame and common
place and respectable; the matronly
woman yonder comes here because
she thinks it isn't.

selves to be Bohemians. Here are

One enters by a basement door,
