At a corner house in Toledo, Ohio,
I had room IN central part Of the
city. 1t was high up in the air, and
reminded me of a European castle.
Two long flights of wide, stone steps
led up to the front porch. and there
were two other porches. The building
was a triangle. 1t had lawns on three
sides and on one of them was an at
tractive dance pavilion. The house
stood on a natural bluff and was one
of the show places of Toledo. No other
sight there anything like it. Citizens
would walk slowly by looking at it and
strangers would gaze at it from both
streets as they leisurely rambled around
the corner. In earlier years the Struc-
ture had been one of the most promi-
nent and aristocratic residences of the
community. Afterward it became a
boarding house. grocery, laundry, and,

With a dash the squad was out on
the turf in the warm Autumn sun

tackling, kicking, passing and prac-
ticing every other phase of the game.
After an hour of that and signal drill,
the coach lined the regulars up against
the second team for Scrimmage,
Perhaps when Coach Edwards made
that remark about every team having
its hard luck he had a premonition.
At any rate, only few minutes before
practice was to end Red Hopkins hit
the line on an off-tackle play and went
to the bottom of the pile. When the
other players climbed off Red lay white
faced and silent on the turf.
The coach hurried to him.

There stood the young woman. In one

In Nebraska I had finished my first
week of work in an office. My room
rent was then due and also 1t was pay
day for me, but my employer said MOTH
ing about paying. / told my landlady
I could not pay her then and explained
why. She flared up like a keg of
powder into which lighted match had
been thrown. Her pop eyes bulged out
like those of beetle. She looked like
lioness ready to leap on her prey.
Her words were exactly like her face.
1t seemed, for a few minutes. then and
there was to be my finish. I at once
remembered what I had heard in the
town, that the woman had thrown a
frying pan at the bald head of her
strenuous husband-and he was big
ger, stronger man than I. But I sue
ceeded in calming the excited creature.
I softened my voice and assumed a
tone of regret. I told her I would re-
turn to the Office and tell the boss"
I must have the money. I got it and
she received her part.
I stayed for a while in a room not
much bigger than myself When I
swung out of bed I was forced, as I
arose, to do so as quickly as possible.
That was necessary to prevent humping
my face against the wall in front of me.
But the financial strain of that dwarf

to sitting position and to the right
saw the dim outlines of man.
How did you get in here?" I roared

You get out of here!" I howled, and
he went.
My pocketbook was about seven feet

Prices of furnished rooms vary In
different cities. and sometimes greatly
when only a short distance apart
have had better rooms sometimes at
| lower prices on common streets than
have at other times occupied in select
and aristocratic neighborhoodS
AS so many men and women live in
furnished rooms, it is very desirable
that conditions be made as satisfactory
as possible The interests of those who
rent and of those who lease are mutual.
The landlady wants to rent her rooms
to each tenant as long as she can; the
roomer wishes to be in a. place where
he or she will be content 10 stay
and not be obliged to look around
soon for another room. II all con-
Rule, the best that could be expected
would be achieved.
A furnished room" at the best is
only substitute for home. Most
roomers hope, expect and intend
shall be for them only temporary, b
many spend large part of their liv
in such rooms.
The high cost of woman's dres
these times, keeps many young me-
single and in furnished rooms, but
me tell them that. after marriage, nc
women are not so anxious for cost
and brilliant attire as they are before
the wedding.
