his Oh gOiHng Gays, .SammlS could be
countednpon to propose some sdiverting
way of passing the time. He shook his
head and gave it up. He would have to
trust to fuck-which was decidedly inefi-
cient, but the only course that was open
to him, so far as he could see.
CURIOUSLY enough, as soon as he had
come to that decision, he was conscious
of rather peasurabler thrill He didn't
know it, but that revolt against efficiency
was gathering strength. In that moment,
had you pressed him, he might have adj
mitted something about himself that was
fundamentally true, though people didn't
suspect it. This was that he had never
really wanted to be efficient; that he had
set up efficiency as his rule of life simply
because it was the only way in which he
could control a besetting laziness, a ten
dency to take things as they came, to put
off until tomorrow everything that did
not absolutely have to be done to-day.
So complete had been his conquest of these
primitive forces within himself that he
remembered them only subconsciously by
this time. But they were present, Just
the same.
1t was pretty warm. He was glad when
he got to his rooms in the old house on
Washington Square, from which he could
look through his window and see the
flaming cross of the JudsOn Church in the
south, and the smoky sunset, all murky
now, in the west. His bath was almost
as comforting as it would have been at
Ardale; he was more or less reconciled to
the uncertainties of the evening when he
finally went out again. But his troubles
began at once. He found that he didn't
want to dine alone. He was efficient about
dinner, as rule. He accomplished good
deal in the dinner hour. Men from out of
town could be enticed into business dis
cussions at dinner.
He wandered up as far as the Brevoort,
and retired in disgust when he found that
every table downstairs was full. He re-
sented the crowded condition of the room.
He didn't like the people who filed the
tables, either. He wasn't altogether GER
tain that girls ought to smoke cigarettes.
And he thought most of these Green
wich Village people, of both sexes, were
pretty fishy, anyhow. They weren't
efficient.
He was too hungry, by this time, to go
uptown. And so he proceeded to waste
about three times as much time as it
would have required for him to reach any
restaurant south of Columbus Circle in
hunting for place to eat that suited his
sudden fastidiousness. He wandered over
to Sixth Avenue and beyond; he mooned
in and out of crooked, twisting streets
that had escaped the mathematicians who
had laid out New York's admirable city
plan.
And finally he went into queer.
oldish place, with sanded floor, where he
remembered having heard you could get
a good chop.
lie discovered that you couldn't get
much of anything else, but he didn't
care. He sat there. abandoning himself to
luxurious anticipation of that chop, and
the crisp bacon and perfectly cooked kid
ney that would go with it, to say nothing
of real baked potato. He didn't
even glance at the girl who was the only
other guest. He read an evening paper,
instead.
The girl looked at him, though. She

by j. H. Dorroh, Dean of School of
Engineering.)
Inc millions of dollars being spent
each year for road and bridge con-
struction have attracted hnudreds of
engineers and self-styled engineers
OF every degree Of competence. The
need Tor skilled men in this work
enormously exceeds the supply, and
yet 1t is never hard to find a man
Who Will concede his own ability.
Road commissioners and supervisors
ind it hard to distinguish the real
from the imitation and select the
night man, and do not know what to
require after the selection has been
made. Advertisement for bids for
engineering, without stipulation as to
quahhcations of bidders and service
70 De rendered often brings disaster.
Saddest of all the disaster is not al
ways recognized as such, for money,
even unwlsely spent, does much good
and the public never realizes what

The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy, the D~iscoverer and Found
er of Christian Science. has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board of Directors by Ebert s. Bar
low of New York City who held the
contract for it's construction.
The memorial, which is at Mt. Au-
burn cemetery. Cambridge, Mass, has
required over a year and a half to
complete. The fund for its construc-
ton, amounting to over $4,000, was
FIRST announced by the directors In
June. 1911, and was some time ago
fully subscribed. These contributions
have been made as expressions OF
sentiment by Christian Scientists
Throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial is
located is not only n of great nat
ural beauty, but on account of its
grade has rendered possible a more
picturesque and interesting treatment
