But It Broke the Young Man All Up to Be Reminded of It. The impecunious young man had been kept ia vne house by a cold, so he had actually managed to get to- gether $10 on vfnich there was no pressing claim. Of course he had debts, but nothing estremely urgent. "I ous?ht to do something for that friend of my sister-who is in town," ho mused. "I haven't taken any no- tice of the card she gent. I wonder how I can square myself? Might take her to the theater. No; that won't do. I shall have to take her aunt, and that will be $4.50 or $6 for the tickets. I shouldn't have enough for supper. Better make it a dinner. I can make the hour 7 o'clock and say that we couldn't get to the thea- ter without hurrying through, din- ner. Besides I can tell her T'want to have a nice chat with her. We might even wind up at the art exhibition if we went to a table d'hote. Tick- ets are only 50 cents.'' So the note explaining how illness had prevented an earlier call and closing with an invitation to dinner for the visitor and her aunt was sent. The reply aooepted the apolo- gy and the explanation. The young man had much difficulty in holding to his $10. Ho vowed that he would have asbestus pockets in his next suit_so that^ money.couldn't .burn a hole through. On the appointed evening the three went, to the new hotel which- t'.ie young man had se- lected, because ho had been told that the dinner on the American plan was extremely good and cost only $1.50. This would leave a margin for wine, tip, car fare and art exhi- bition. The dinner was exceedingly pleas- ant, and two hours and a half were spent in delightful conversation. Finally coffee was served and drunk, and the waiter brought two checks. One was for wine, the other for the dinner. The young man had been in some tight" pinches before, owing to his impecuniosity, but he was fairly overwhelmed when he saw the second check. Each dish that the party had eaten was stamped on it in red ink, with the price. The horrible list ran down the entire face of the check and - two-thirds of the way down-the" other side. It started: "Clams; 73 cents; soup, $1.20; pom- pano, $1.80," and went on, enumer- ating every vegetable, meat, dessert and so on. The total must have been $15. The host pretended to study the check, but he Was thinking of a way to get out of his scrape. He didn't have his watch, but the cash- ier might accept his card. Meantime the waiter stood solemnly by. 1 ^What's the total?" finally asked must have aroused his guests'curios- ity. - "There it is," and the waiter"point- ed at some small figures at the top of the check.' These said simply, "Three dinners, $4.50." A sigh of relief got to the young man's; lips, bnt was stifled there. The $10 bill .was more than enough, but those few minutes (if- it was minutes) of shock took the edge off the host's spirits. He doesn't know yet what the itemized account was all about Probably the hotel wanted to show how much it gave to eat for $1.60.^- New York Tribune. -» Greece was formerly Grsecia.
