"Here you are," said the Transpart Chief to kis Second-in-Command. "You have to take your train 1,000 miles. What will that cost you?"

"It depends on the speed at which we travel," said the Second-in-Cam mand. "The cost per mile is £1, plus one shilling for every mile per hour in excess of 10. For instance, if we gu at 20 m.p.h., the cont is £1 10s, per mile. And so on."

"Then you'd better proceed at 10 m.p.h.," said the Transport Chief,

OR any one who likes to see people uncomfortable there is a lot to be said in favour of a waiter's job. Just about one man in ten thousand knows how to order food and wine.

The others mostly glare feverishly at menus and wine lists, trying hard to remember what they know, and order the first thing they see which they can afford.

It takes far too much time and money for most men ever to learn much about food and drink, how to entertain, how to get what they order at restaur- unts.

But it does not take long to master the element- ary principles of the thing. They are worth knowing.

If you are going to buy an evening shirt see that it has rounded instead of pointed} cuts and collar, and only one stud. The front should be striped instead of marcella patterned. This makes short men look taller. In evening dress you want to look as tall as you can, within reasonable! limits

It allows plenty of freedom, during hot nights, and is very useful for short stays away from home, when it can be used as a dressing gown.

-POEM

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love they to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ident Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quies need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, is men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the pussion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love l' seemed to lose

With my lust saints-I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choosé, shall but love thee better after death.
