"Ycs. they've three ratings-good,

you can ask TO see their rate card
before you give your order. They've
got to show it." Then as their tray
laden waiter approached with a bow,
he passed on.
"Oh, think that's a wonderful law"

restaurant without wiping off the
plates and silver, dubious ae ta their

"That's all right, but I'd like nap

Warren with a disappearing sniff at
the blackened mustard jar. "They'll
not be so keen when they get agoing."
A little later the proprietor, again
by, stopped to inquire If they
we're being well served.
"Dear. theyss really very solicit

"Well, I'd rather have little better

and wilted walters attested to the heat
A military band, in white uniforms
clashed an accelerated air.
"Plenty of seats inside, sir" per
suaded the head waiter

demanded Warren.
Nothing just now. If you care to
wait"
"Oh, look, those people are leaving
over there by the railing" interrupted
Helen eagerly.
AS the departing couple rose, hastily
they edged their way through and took
triumphant possession of the table.
Dear, this Is wonderful" turning
from the soiled dishes, Helen rested
out at the smoldering sunset.
The heat mist, shrouding the hori-
zOn, dimmed the fiery ball, already Slip

at 'em coming"
stream of people were turning in
from the boardwalk. Pausing on the
steps they would glance over the
crowded veranda, then reluctantly fol-
low the head waiter into the glaringly
lit dining room.
The sun now almost submerged, a
couple Of bell boys ran out to haul
down the flag that fluttered from a
tall staff on the lawn. The band
struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and everyone rose.
Helen felt thrill Of patriotism as
she watched this military ceremony,
and gaZed out across the ocean, be-
yOnd which so many countries were
devastated by war. The peaceful
crowd about her seemed suddenly very
carefree and prosperous. ..,.
Here, clear this table-and take
my order!''
Warren's sharp, complaint grated
harshly. 1t was enough just to sit
there and rest, without struggling for
service, which she knew from the
crowd would be slow.
"This isn't my table, sir. I'll send
your waiter"
FrOwningly Warren pushed back the
sOiled dishes and threw over them q
corner of the coffee-strained cloth, res
cued match safe from the clutter,
and lit a cigar.

gazing at the dark speck that headed
a trailing length Of smoke against the
skyline.
But Warren was watching an over
stout woman in an absurdly tight
gown, her fat hands crowded with dia-
monds and lumpish pearls embellishing
her ears.
"Jove, I'd hate to buy food for the
females around here" he said, his
caustic glance wandering on to anoth-
er robust lady, her pink corpulence
bulging her thin white waist.
"You'd hardly think she'd need furs,"
unused Helen, noting the white fox
scarf about her bulky shoulders.

again f1aring up. Hold on, you the
waiter for this table?"
mo, sir, I'll send him to you
Here a perspiring waiter, his shirt
front bristling with checks, dashed up,
cleared the table and flung on damp
ly fresh cloth.
"Where're the roasts?" Warren was
scowling at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

nothing but soup and cold meat
What the Sam Hill does this mean?"
"Oh, here's notice." Helen read the
note at the bottom of the card.
The new management begs to an
nounce that this is but q temporary
menu. Within the next few days it
will be sufficiently augmented to af-
ford complete service"

"COnsomme then" curtly. "Cold

waiter disappeared, Dear, that's not
so bad; it's too hot to eat much any
way. But you wouldn't think they'd
change management In the middle of
the season."
"Oh, these summer hotels are al
ways changing hands. Expensive
plants to keep up-and not much do
ing except Saturday and Sunday"
"There's a lighthouse?" she was
glancing out at the misty horizon from
which flashed a faint revolving light.
The dusk had deepened. and the arc
lights on the lawn lit up the benches
filled with the boardwalk crowd, that
had wandered in to listen to the mu-
sic.

Another ten minutes and Warren,
glazing around for their waiter was
on the verge of an explosive outbreak,
when the proprietor approached their
table.
