I had a bet coming down on the
train from Cleveland and I lost.
Have you a good candy store in Lex
ington?"
Where do you suppose you are,
anyway" replied Henry. "Still in
Toronto? You come with me and I'll
show you a candy store that for
beauty and quality, cannot be ex-
celIed even in the big cities"
Entering McGurk and O'Brien' s
beautiful candy store, LOG West
Main street, a few moments later,
uncle had Miss Mahoney select for
Virginia an attractive box of their
finest candies.
while we are here" said Henry,
suppose we have hot chocolate,
for they serve such dainty, tasteful
drinks here, and such delicious
sandwiches, salads and pies, better
than your mother used to make, that
If is no wonder it is becoming the
recognized social place to meet. Isn't
this a perfect placer"
Indeed it u.s." replied Virginia.
81 don't think I have ever been in a
more attractive one Everything
seems in such perfect taste and har-
mony. And isn't this chocolate de-
licious?"
Having finished, Mr.. O'Brien kind
" offered to take them back and
show them how their candies were
made.
Il like to eat candies where II
know they are made in as sanitary a
place as this" remarked Henry.
Then all the materials they use,
sugar. eggs, cream, chocolate, ETC.,
are of the strictest purity. A pretty
good name for this establishment
would be to call it 1.-The Quality
Shop"
That was a mighty busy place"
said Virginia, as they rode away,
"and what an assortment they SEEM
ed to carry. They must do an enor-
nous business"
They do" Henry asserted. They
have the most popular candy and
soda store in Lexington, for in addl-
ton to making their own candies OF
recognized purity, they make their
OWN ice cream, ices, and fancy cakes
for parties and banquets, and besides
being the favorite luncheon place In
Lexington for out-of-town- shoppers,
If is the only place in the city where
Won can find holiday favors for every
occasion.
They have a splendid reputation
oS Caterers also. which Mr.. Nc
Gurk has exclusive charge of, doing
all the catering work through Cen
tral Kentucky, for no party, wedding
event or banquet is considered COM
plete without their catering. In fact,
the first meal held in the Lafayette
Hotel to 200 of their stockholders,
was served by McGurk and OBr1en.
I 90 there often, when in the city,
for their luncheons are delicious
and reasonable"
We'll, this has been pretty
strenuous day." remarked virginia
as they were having dinner that
evening. But 1 have had a most de-
lightful time"
ct thought you might find it lit
tie tiresome," laughingly replied
Henry, $50 I've sort of reserved lit
tie treat for you tonight"
What on earth can it be-" ex-
claimed Virginia. "You have me in
terested."
I'm going to take you to the
Grand Opera House." replied the old
man. 81 hear they have a fine show
tonight"
They arrived at the Opera House
Just as a film was being finished,
and during the short intermission
Uncle Henry remarked:
"You can say what you like, but
/ like moving pictures like they
show them here. Did you notice how
clear that last picture was? Well,
they are all like that, absolutely
fiickerless, made so by the use of two
of the very latest Powers GA ma
chimes, the best electric, automatic
machine in town, and a certainly adj
mire Mr.. Sprake's taste in giving his
many patrons pictures that pleasing
ly instruct, amuse and interest one
without the slightest of vulgarity.
They also operate the Alamo Thea
tire for their matinee, showing the
same films here in the evening"
AS they were walking home after
the performance Virginia remarked:
Well, 1 certainly enjoyed that per-
Torrance for that music was fine. 1t
was treat, and such pretty place,
but is it always crowded like that?"
Its just the same every night
for Mr.. Sprake is making many
friends by his choice of good films"
1T must cost something to get up
film like The Sheik,'" interrupted
Paul.
Il guess it does" responded the
old man, "but expense is no object
when a good film has to be produc-
ed. Mr.. Sprake has some very fine
bookings we must see, as Milton
