NON-ESSENTIAL WAITING.

Has the day OF the male waiter
passed ? Present tendencies sug-
gest it. With waiting classed by
the labor board as "non-esSential
men of Selective service age all over
the country are swept out OF this
occupation, and women are taking
their places even in big fashionable
restaurants and hotels.
In New York City the change has
been hastened by a hotel walters
strike. 1t would have come soon in
any event.
Perhaps the passing OF this ven.
cradle institution, the male waiter,
is not to be lamented. Surely women
can wait on tables as well as men,
and surely men can find more man
ly and productive work, especially
in an era when the worlds stock OF
men is SO sadly reduced.
Most patrons will probably well
come the change. There are GER
tain characteristics OF the male wait
er, especially As developed in large
cities and in fashionable eating
houses, that have never commended
themselves to the public-the itch
ing palm, for instance. Women may
develop that, in time; but they
will hardly be SO bare-iaced and
rapacious about it. At any rate,
given fair chance they are likely

Choice of Peace City

Paris, Nov. T.-Diplomats here are
interested in the choice Of location
for the peace negotiations. Some of

out that The Hague is convenient
for the British, French. Germans
and Relgians and can be easily
reached by land from Paris. Captain
Gillett OF the American legation at
The Hague came through by land
last week and had a safe and easy
journey. Other statesmen prefer a

Lucerne They are easy of access
from France Italy, Austria and Ger

As the early spring twilight fell, the
gas lamps along the alice, always burn

that one does not reach the land of
desire alone; because the half Of
pleasure is the sharing of 1t with some

is not the land of desire at all. Quite

on a trestle, with the city far beneath
them, and only the red, white, and blue
lights for company; and into n tunnel,
filled with roaring noises and swift
moving shadows. Then came the end
of all things-a flying leap down, a
heart-breaking, delir1ous thrill, an up
w6rd sweep just as the strain was too
great for endurance.
Above the roaring Of the wind in
their ears, neither child had heard the
flying feet of a dozen horses coming
down the alice. They never knew that
hatless young lieutenant, white
Tipped with fear. had checked his
horse to its launches at the ticket
booth, and demanded to know who was
in the land of desire.
"Only the son of the manager, and
boy friend of his" replied Billy
Grimm, In what he called the lingo of
the country. "What's wrong? Lost
anybodyT
But Hedwig's lieutenant had wheeled
his horse without a word, and, jump
ing him over the hedge of the alice,
was off in a despairing search of the
outskirts Of the park, followed by his
cavalrymen.
As the last horse leaped the hedge
and disappeared, the car came to a
stop at the platform. Quivering,
Prince Ferdinand William Otto reached
down for the despised hat.
"WOuld you like to go around
again?" asked Bobby, quite casually.
His highness gasped with joy. IF
If you would be so kind!" he said.
And at the lordly wave of Bobby's
hand, the car moved on.
