The Dinner.

"That's fine," she replied. evenly.
and then there was a pause.
Edgar, at the other end of the wire.
| was perplexed. When he had dinner
with other girls he always wore din
ner coat. IT was simply understood.
But, after all, this was his father S
stenographer, and he wasn't sure what
he was expected to do.
"Shall we dress?" he b1urted out,
finally.
II think that would be very nice
she returned. smoothly. and hung up
the receiver as though she were used
to dressing for dinner every evening.
On Thursday she hurried home from
work and tidied up her place. BY s
O'Clock everything was shipshape. She
had bought two new lampshades on
the way down. One was quite nice.
She had bought 1t at bargain, be-
cause the parchment was cracked at
one end, but turned 1t and adjusted it
at a certain angle, so that it didn't
show.
Jill's apartment was small, but
rather unusual. 1t consisted Of one
kitchenette and bath.
The furnishings were naturally
valueless, because she had had very
she had fair for color, and she had
put striped black and gold curtains at
the two windows. The large couch
was covered with the same material
and cushions Of plain black and gold
were piled at the back of 1t.
There was chest of drawers pur.
chased at a secondhand store. In its
day 1t had been rather nice, but now
it was fairly rickety. Under the soft
illumination Of lamplight, however, it
looked almost antique.
AS she ran the water for her bath
she hummed little tune. For once
the water was hot. 1t ran steaming
into the tub.
She wondered vaguely how her
dress would look.
She had contrived 1t out Of almost
nothing. A few yards Of mauve chif.
fon and a velvet rose Of a deeper
shade of purple to fasten on the shoul-
der. She had copied the style from
a pattern, but she hadn't used the
pattern for her dress. Jill had a cer-
tain facility for cutting into mate
rials, and she seldom made a mess of
things.
As she luxuriated in the hot water
she laughed suddenly and uproarious-
ly. She had told Edgar that she had
a maid, and he had actually believed
It. Fancy that! How much did he
think she earned, anyway? And how
many maids did he think she could
afford on a stenographer's salary?
At o'clock the little gate-legged
table was set for two. A small steak
was broiling in the small oven. There
were mushrooms and salad Of ro-
maine and orange. Jill was lovely in
the mauve dress with q canary-colored
smock over 1t, and there was a deli.

Jill opened the door to him and In
wardly thrilled to his faultless dinner
clothes. She took his hat, coat and
stick and deposited them in the al
cove. Then they had dinner.
He had sent her flowers, red roses
that nodded in blue bowl in the CEN
ter Of the table.
The steak was very rare, and most
men like their steak rare. All the other
dishes were delicious, including the
soup made from a famous brand of
canned soups, but changed entirely by
the aid of milk and dash Of whipped
cream.
Edgar thought 1t very romantic.
Jill removed her smock before they
began dinner, and, as she went back
and forth from the small kitchenette.
he studied her dress. 1t was stunning.
As stunning as any dress he had ever
seen at any dance.

Club should undertake the job, its
members we're told at the closing OF

Friday afternoon.
John j. German, special assistant
corporation counsel Of Chicago, as
personal representative of Chicago's
mayor, William Hale Thompson, was
the speaker. In August, German, at
Thompson's order completed an in
spection of histories used in Chicago
schools. He condemned all-of them
but one for containing British
propaganda
The Chicagoan's address was a
eulogy of the Chicago mayor, who
German said, had risen from a "city
builder" to a nation builder
through his work for Mississippi
flood prevention and the Lake to the
Gulf waterway.

BIGGEST LEGAL
BATTLE OF ACE
I OPENS OCT. 5
Three Judge Federal Court
viii Decide Railroad VAL
uation Basis.

~ lA slsSEn 1c$TS Oct. 1.-Two for
mer members of President Taft's
cabinet will oppose each other, and
ex-President Taft himself will pre-
side in handing down the final de-
cision in what is described here as
the mots important legal battle, in
terms of money, in the history of the
world.
The legal controversy is that of
railroad valuation which is sched-
uled to be brought to trial at Kan
Sas City Oct. 5 with sum estimated
at approximately 100000 100000 in
increased public utility values in the
balance.
Only 2 Represent the People
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has engaged ex-Interior Sec
rotary Walter L. Fisher of Chicago,
who served in Taft's cabinet from
1911 to 1918, to present the COM
missions argument against the in
creased valuations sought by the
railroads. Donald Richberg OF Chi
cago will represent shippers as well
as several States and cities.
Among the wide array OF lawyers
who will oppose Fisher in his eff
forts to prevent court approval OF
the valuation increases, is ex-Com-
merce Charles Nagel of st. Louis, a
member of President Taft's cabinet
throughout his term.
And presiding over the U. S. Su-
preme Court, where the case is GER
tain to go for final settlement, is
ex-President Taft, thus making the
$3O.00O,0 100000 valuation case the &C.
casion for something of Taft cab
met reunion.
Decide Fate of Commission
At the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the case Oct. 5 is held to
have a major bearing on the future
activities of the commission, and
possibly on it's very existence.
Although the immediate contro-
versy is between the Government
and small st. Louis terminal rail-
road, the principles which must be
established in deciding the case are
held to be of decisive Importance
in determining the course of rail-
road rates and public utility rates
henceforth.
