NEW YORK, april 24.-ln spite of
war and war p:oclamations, there arc
just as many smartly dressed men and
women thronging the corridors of the
great hotels at tea time as ever. But

man and his newspaper. His ewes
were on the loafer, but he did not in.

any preparations. He arrived at the
bench in due time and reached for
the loafer's neck and lifted him to his
feet. Then he got body hold and
tlung him into the shrubbery as If he
had been a doll. He stood for a
moment to watch the loafer stink
off, and then sat down on the other
end Of the bench and began to read.
There was a human being sitting
within few feet of him, but he seem.

He needed only to turn his head to

head didn't turn.
What should she do-walk away
