Editor, Tall Tower Topics. After seeing so many
letters about the Hamilton Park roller skating rink IN
your column, and especially the one appearing last
Thursday night II Is hard TO sit idly by without voicng
my opinion on the subject without doubt the wnoe
affair Of changing the best dance hall around these parts
into cheap RollerdromC Is the work OF someone entre
ly unfamiliar with the park as dancing place II must
have been personal with regard for the pup
lie to do such crazy idotic thing The Thursday night
writer said If that woman knew what precautions have
been taken by the management TO avoid damaging the
hall she would have contradcted her statement II that
person only out once, she'll find the park good
ever" Now we'll take time out to laugh at this Why,
If that did go out to the park and see the
condition OF the once perfect dance floor she would
strengthen her statement to the utmost possible degree
What precautions may ask have the Park Department
taken TO protect the floor? I'll answer hatNONE Ask
the management Of the park how big crowd they had
at their dance week ago last night No. the small crowd
not due to the rainy weather but to the disguised at
titude Of the dancing public OF Waterbury They have all
the right in the world to be Disguised there land
will be the last time until something Is done about the
bit of polish left the floor sreaked with black skate
marks all the hail. and II they used barrel of
every square foot Of the floor still would be anything
but good dance floor Don't think that stand alone
this point because there hundreds who feel the
same way and who will not go out to the park until some
thing Is done Evidently the writer OF Thursdays letter
Is not dancer and does not realize what the Park De-
partment has done in the way of HARM All say is
that the Park Department had better act quickly and
wisely and change their plans before 1t Is too late to bet
ter the awful condition OF the dance hall at present

this, I knew that some one beneath
1t was knocking upon it's floor.
I saw the bolts of trap which
was sunk in the floor of the cup
board six feet from the door.
In an instant I had it open, there
was a curling staircase of polished
oak and Helena, wrapped in dress
ing gown, sitting on one of the
stairs. Beside her was standing
Sabre, fairly snufing excitement
and ready to leap.
"Thank Cod" says Helena. Il
thought you must be asleep. And
now take Sabre, my dear, and tell
him to watch your door. And then
come down."
The watch was soon set, for Sa-
bre was very wise, and thirty sec
onds later entered my lady's room.
She pointed to a table, standing
close to the hearth, laid for one
only, but bearing enough for three.

"This matters, Nell. Compared
with this, the forester's cottage and
all was a Sunday School show.
Don't think I'm prudish. I'm not.
I'm only too glad of a good excuse
to be here. You see, I'm a man,
and love you-from throat to

it. If we stood on the steps of a
scaffold, I'd say the same"

getting my values wrong. Never
mind. Sabre can cover your tracks.
I'll leave a plate on the floor and
they'll think i gave him a meal"
Absurdly enough, this arrange
ment comforted me. The fragments
of propriety that remained were
scarcely worth taking up, all the
same.
So we broke our fast together
and shared her glass.
