substitutes for spats, so to speak. and
they may be called into popularity by

unpleasant experience Of spending a
week without bread
The baron lives at the hotel Bristol.

some friends. and ordered his usual
portion. When the waiter asked him
for bread ticket. Baron kuertbv
searched his pockets in vain lie had
evidently lost his little book Of cou-

him his, but as it is distinctly stated on
each book that the tickets are not
transferable, the waiter refused to ac-

conscientious to adopt any such means.
AT last he decided 20 do without bread
until the following week.

rnanded that Berger pay his own ex-
pensea TO California and Joe could not
see It thai way. The Vernon club Of
flctala made IL clear 70 Berger that
every member Of the Vernon squad

After some juggling Of figures Ber-

 That sound interesting, said Sim mons partner. Now let me hear why you deserted our. quarters for six long and dreary weeks and left me to pfnc aione I lost eight pounds out Of ,l1e sheer oppression of solitude"
 You lost those eight pounds playsng tennis with that frippery Minnie Lang -that's where you los. 1t. sinmo,s some youth has to teach her how to play"
 ~ Thank yoa for the compliment. .' his partner said meekly. You are too kind. I am not. however. at all sn2b- bish on account of my beauty.
 When I was talking of going east" Simmons reverted to the main theme. II asked Jean where could get a good boarding house in westpoft Aunt Sally wanted me to come up to that reighborhood with my wife, but she did not have room for us because t,er. was family reunion and her hous3 was full. She neglected, however. to tell us where we could go. so I had to ask my cousin Jean. She expla :n.,d shat Mrs. Dobbins was pe-te ctly lovely and when I pressed her fer specifications she had to acknoW :eGEe that the reason Mrs. Dobins' place was so lovely was that Mrs. Dobbins made such grand wheat cakes. You see Jean had been there in winter ard she rem membered the wheat cakes when she had forgotten the hard beds and the noisy children.
 We went to Mrs. Dobbins' house and were about as uncomfortabI as two mortals could be. The wheat cakes did not appear. partly. no doubt, because Mrs. Dobins' patriotism and partly because Mrs. Dobb;ns' was averse to exertion in hot weather.
 T should have been ayerse to wheat cakes myself" the partner 1augmed, "They belong to the winter monthe''
 '4Well. it was only when I came back and taxed Jean with fibbing that. she told me why Mrs. Dobbins was 50
