Hoover-Cardiner Navy Tilt
. Produces Sharp Comments

It looks like a tempest In q teapot.
why it should ever have been started
is mystery. Hasn't Mr.. Hoover,
hasn't the country, enough TO think
about without being thrown into a tur-
moil over the agitation Of the Big
Navyites? There Is plenty to be done
getting the world back on an even keel
and into the mood of collaboration and
amity that will permit further disarma-
ment and make present naval figures
obsolete"

night in few months or usually In q
year." suggests the Rutland Herald.
"If the committee Is satisfied that We
are in a reasonable way Of preparation
for December, 1895, that is one thing
If, however, the President, in the full
flush and flare Of his economy pro-
gram, has really failed to go to work
on our ships or If he intends to take
part in a naval holiday without a pro-
portionate amount of work done on
them to give lis our parity with Great
Britain, then the point remains I'M
settled"
The New York Herald Tribune offers
the conclusion: 1--WE remarked at the
outset of the dispute that in view of
the long and honorable career Of the
Navy League and its established repu-
tation for accuracy a presumption of
innocence existed in its favor. That
presumption win persist, we are sure
In every fair mind until the Presidents
charges, now formulated by his prose-
cutors, have been examined in the open
by an impartial body permitted to hear
the evidence on both sides and con-
slider the whole problem on its merits.
To this end we urge that a Congress
sional Committee commence hearings
as soon as possible after the assembling
Of the new Congress in December"

Maybe one remembers Maybelle best.
Undoubtedly she was the prettieSt.
She had her eyes on Hollywood, they
said. It was comical to watch the male
customers when they first caught sight
of Maybelle.
The average nan sits down in tea
shop or the like, without paying much
attention to the waitress who plunks
the menu card down before him.
Faced with the menu. he feels the
old impulse to hurry up as he scans
the long list of edibles.
Often he reels off his order without
paying the girl the compliment Of a
glance.
Usually his mouth dropped open,
however, when he happened to take a
real look at Maybelle.
She was, In the usual parlance, a
knockout, q WOW, peach, as they used
to say.
She had big blue eyes, and light
brown hair, and dimple in each cheek.
Her smile set you wondering at once
which famous movie actress she most
reSembled.
She was q capricious girl, too, as
beauties have right to be, and, alas,
often are.
she quarreled violently with those of
her Young men who offended her in
any way, and only forgave them when
they put an exceptionally good tip ollt
for her.
1t was in the old days, of course,
when every one spent money like water.
Mr.. Jimmie, as he was called, was
leading the pack easily in the natter
of tips.
Mr.. Jimmie gave SO per cent of the
price Of the meal, and even more.
What Is the largest tip you ever
got?" he asked Maybelle.
"Why?" she countered, with one Of
her best pre- Hollywood smiles.
II want you to get the biggest" re-
piled James
"One dollar" said Maybelle, sue

Mr.. Jimmie left 81 beside the plate,

he continued, CALAMITY, trying his best

Mr.. Jimmie, by these pleasant wiles,
soon became the favorite of the
restaurant. For mattresses are practical
people, who take the world as they find
it, and recognize that favoritism has a
place in it.
Meg was at the opposite extreme.
She had face like horse, and the
complexion of a policeman, but she

her customers.

take care of, and needed her tips.
Alas, she never got as many, nor as
large ones, as Maybelle. That Is what
comes of having dimpleS in ones
cheeks and the Hollywood air in gen.
eral.
But she Clipped in, just the same, on
the gala day that pretty Maybelle left
for the West. All the girls loved May
belle, and helped buy her. as parting
gift. a necklace and SO on.
There was q visible excitement in
the demeanor of the girls that day.
But where was Maybelle?
Ar then Mr.. Jimmie realized that
the gorgeous creature, in the very lat
est attire, who stood talking and smil-
| ing at the other end Of the room, was
not a patron, as he had supposed but
was none other than that latest
aspirant to pictured fame, Maybelle
herself.
Dolores was shorter than usual, and
had deep black eyes and an intriguing
smile.
Most of the men who stopped at the
cashiers desk, as all did, bestowed the
smile which male customers reserve for
restaurant cashiers.
Dolores worst trial came when Old
Daniel came in. Dan resembled a cross
between a human being and q wart
hog, but he liked the ladies, and some
how thought they liked him. He, too,
had gray hair.
"My dear" he would say to Dolores,
do YOU know what would like to do?"
Dolores mustered up a wan smile,
After all, he was customer OF the
place, and perhaps his money was as
good as the next fellows, although Do
had her doubts about 1t.
at would like to wear you on my
watch chain," declared Old Dan, with
a tremendous leer.
maybe that was gallantry in his
day" snorted Dolores, after he had left.
But it's silly now"
The ears of the waitress are not
open, as so many men believe, for in
vitations to the theater and the like,
nor are her hands always out for tips.
She Is essentially human being,
with the average human beings likes
and dislikes, and behind the smile with
which she welcomes patrons lies q
mind which Is not taken in by bum
combe or Establishments.
Her job calls upon her to smile, but
what she Is thinking Is strictly her
own business.
