Jony, who han worked In one pintle* ular section of flirt lunch counter of one of the great New York hotels since the dny It waft opened, Is the bent waitress (lint ever set down a dish without a spill or u clatter?ho May the discriminating, lief deftness, Iter quiet manners, her promptness?above all her unfalllnK politeness?stomp her iis one apart from the sisterhood.

It Un't. He was a little ashamed to fuss about the prices, so he fussed about everything else. Rut at last he departed, and serene Jane permitted herself a weary smile. ^You have to get along with .all kinds, don't you?" remarked a patron. "Indeed, yes," said Jane. "I served a ghost yesterday morning." "An old' gentleman came in quite early, for breakfast. He was beauti fully dressed; I.think he was one of the hotel guests; at least he came In that entrance. He chose a stool and when somebody fried to sit beside him, he said, 'Pardon me, but can't you see that seat la taken?' He ordered toast, soft boiled eggs and coffee. Then he turned to^the vacant stool and asked, 'What would you like, my .dear?' "He paused as If for an answer. Ap parently he heard one, for he said to; me with a smile, as If amused at the notion, 'A piece of pie and a cup of weak coffee with milk and some rolls.' "There wasn't any pie at that hour and so he ordered sliced peaches. I brought all the tilings and arranged them as If for two. By that time peo ple were moving away from him. lie buttered the rolls at the vacant place befora-J^e ate a bite himself. Then h& made his own breakfast. I thought there might be a scene about the two checks, but no. He added them up nloud and correctly; counted out the change in his hand; left a tip-In front of each plate and then asked for a noper sack. In it he put an unbroken 'roll. Then he paid, the cashier and went out. They found ihe paper bag With the roll In It outside on the steps." "Could you make out whether he thought he was talking to a man or a woman?" asked the patron. "I thought It was a little child," said Jane softly. "He alwfiys looked down when he spoke to It, and he buttered the rolls, and the pie order for break fast was childish, too?I thought," and Jane's eyes seemed a little misty. "1 thought maybe he had lost a favorite grandchild." Bananas Make Berlin Glad. As I was passing down the Fred eflehstrasse, says a correspondent of the London Times writing from Ber lin. my ^e was caught by a crowd of people which suddenly collected In front of n delicatessen shop. It was only with difficulty that one could get near enough to see what It was that attracted so much atten tion. I peard exclamations of wonder and admiration, and on looking a lit tle more closely saw?a bunch of bananas which the shopkeeper had Just hung up in the window and which was a novelty to the Rerliners, who for nearly five years have seen not a trace of fruit, once so plentiful in the capital. The smiling faces and little Jokes made it quite evident that the banana was recognized as a symbol of peace, and that the delight felt at lis pres ence was due to the evidence it af forded that the blockade is a thing of the past. Took Ride on Torpedo. Probably the only man who ever rode a naval torpedo under way is Kelson II. IStounT, a Yale graduate, now at the Newport torpedo station. Some time ago, when Mr. Blount was experimenting at New London, lie wanted to go with the torpedo, so he rigged :i saddle nml two small pon toon> on the sides, and taking Ids seat, hud the ndfcs?ile tired from the surface and started on his daring ride, when the torpedo spoilt itf tin* in ventor w a* still on top.

"PERFECT" MAN GETS BOAST London Wrltar Rcfu'M to Envy Weav ?n Who Ara "piaa??d" With Such a Life Companion. Kvery one envied a certain lady be cause It was apparent,' that *h?> had such u perfect hufthaud. , True enough, the gei)tlttimun uelther drunk. swore, looked Ht other woman* grumbled, nor did he upend any time away from hl? wife fteept when at . business. Yet the woman who "possessed" thla model of perfection found him a moat Irritating companion with whom she was forced, to spend her life, says Lon don Answers. For Instance, If she got worn out trying to pacify baby, who vwa? cross, and eventually lost her torn por with the child, her husband would come In, tako the little one In bis arm and amiably try?and often succeed, as a fresh person sometimes does?to work the oracle with calmness. That would be ull very well If he dldh't put on the "See how much bet ter my motfiod la" air, which la moat tantalizing, ?- '? ' < J Perfect men are so anxious to ob trude their perfection upon their wom enfolk that they often defeat thelrown ends. They spend money on seats for the opera or buying little presents with no knowledge of whether such will be the most acceptable or desirable gifts. It la because these men are ao good In Intentions that their wives haven't the heart to say, "I'd rather have had 5 shillings for a new box Iron. It would save me such a lot of trouble." The husband who has a few glaring faults Is pretty sure to look over his wife's fallings and humor her whlma. The perfect man has a horrible knack of Reaching at his womenfolk. The woman with a faultless husband often feels like doing aomethlug to make him swear at her. Perfection la. apt to become dull and monotonous. Don't envy the woman with a per fect husband, you wives who wish your own men wouldn't drop cigarette ash on tho carpet or storm a bit when things go wrong; for these careless, "temperlsh" men have a lot of good qualities to balance their faults. The man who never raises his voice to complain rarely softens It to wife with loving words of praise. 1 ' Shells Still Flying. ,? Residents of the devastated districts of France are still fleeing from hursta of shell and shrapnel. . \ The new menace Is caused by the small grass and swamp fires, which frequently set off the shells that have been piled up to be hauled away and exploded in some snfe place. MaJ. H. C. Greene of Boston had a thrilling ride and narrowly escaped a hall of shrapnel on his way from St. Quentln to Laon as a result of one of these fires. A French woman work ing In a field near Rouconvllle was gassed and considerable damage has been done. * In the vast, desolate fields, thou sands of unexploded shells have been picked up by German prisoners, and though there are details hauling them away and exploding them In remote valleys every day, there are still long ranks of them everywhere. Sparks from locomotives and from small fires where battlefield rubbish la being burned occasionally set fire to patches of dry weeds, and the accidental bursts are numerous. Brazilian Church 100 Yeara Old. Christ church of ftlo de Janeiro, which soon will celebrate Its cente nary, Is said to have been the first Protestant church to be built In South America. It was erected to provide a place of worship for the English community. Two restrictions were placed on the church, the exterior was to resemble a dwelling house and not a temple, and no bells were allowed. Out of this concession grew the religious liberty which now exists in Brazil. Today there are two Anglican dlo cese? and 40 churches in South Amer ica. Jack of All Trades.

Brace s Pure Food Store 4 'HONE 66 -i_" slS Get Your ,,Tractor NomL A TRACTOR* operating successfully on low-priced, low-grade fuels ? kerosene, distillate, etc., is a paying investment from the very outset. This has been proved by the records of many thousands of Titan 10-2( tractors specially designed and built to operate 01 kerosene, or any other crude oil distillate testing v 39 degrees Baume or higher. Titan Tractors are All Alike ?? They are easier to handle than a farm team and: easier to care for.
