By JEAN NEWTON
"Sir Galahad"

nF HOW many people can 1t be said
~ truthfully that they are a "Sir
Galahad?" Few, indeed, even though
the term be used lightly about per-
son whose behavior, in consonance
with his impeccable manners and
clothes, is irreproachable.
The allusion in the name Sir Gala
had is not to real person-for there
never actually existed a live Sir Gala
had-but to a mythical prominent fig
ure in the stories that prevailed about
King Arthur's knights and his court
the son of Sir Launcelot and Elaine.
OF all the knights who sat around
King Arthur's round table, Sir Gala
had was reputed to be the most
worthy. So much so that he was the
only one permitted to sit in the "Seige
Perilous"-a seat reserved for the
knight destined to find the Holy Grail.
Many are the tales that have gone
the rounds about Sir Galahad-one to
the effect even that he touched the
body of Christ and died.

There was New York bachelor who
was smarter than most of us. He
bought stocks low and sold many of
them before the crash. Yet, he was
one of the men deeply concerned about
present conditions. He had something
to lose, and he did not intend to lose
1t. Some of his money went into gov
eminent securities, some went into
savings banks; considerable sum he
turned into gold and put in safety de-
post boxes. He did not stint himself
on what he considered necessities, but
he was careful not to indulge in lux
uries. He said it was no time to
throw money around. He died the
other day. They haven't been able to
find a will. The relatives certainly
are having a swell fight over his es-
tate.
For some reason this makes me
think of story friend told me about
an uncle of his. 1t seems that this
uncle spent his money in manner
viewed with alarm by members of his
family. They used to demonstrate
with him; speak somberly of a rainy
evening; urge economies; deplore the
willful waste which makes woeful
want. To their best intended warn
ings, delivered only for his good, the
uncle would reply:
Il may go to the poorhouse once.
You go there every day. l like my
way best"
The most expensive restaurants and
the cheapest restaurants are the ones

feeling what is known as the depres-

eral cases at time, now purchase
their liquids by the bottle.
There Is now a contrivance on the
market which, fastened to the window,
