is too bad that you cannot get the

a can get something Just as good!" 1
-iled bravely, and looked over at
ryant's Park, and wodered ir it really
is as bad as O. Henry made it out to
-, to sleep on the soft side of a parte
nch.
Hiss Thorn said: "I know someone
0 has rooms to rent in this vry block,
?. Mr. and Mrs. Hyphen Blank, from
nsacola, were there for a long time,
1 said it was all right. I am sure
e would take you in she nearly always
s a vacancy."
Somehow, I did not consider this a rec-
hmendation, but anyhow, I'll try any-
ng once, so I sallied forth with my
:omitable bearing to get me a room at
enty per. That was about all I could
rird with Dad hypnotizing me with his
w psychology on money matters.
I was met at the door by a slovenly
zto girl, who said her mistress would
t be in until five, but she would show
e fte room. It was a sitting-room,
usty and horrid. And with a cot bed!
hen 1 called at five the landlady, who
oked like Miss Hazey, in Mrs. "VViggs,
tid that would be thirty dollars per
orKh, and the bath wa3 on the next
oor. I renig'ged.
I met a friend who said: "Go to the
;p Van Winkle, they are lovely.' The
p Van "Winkle is delightfully situated
-. the thirties, and has such a pleasant
;: about it, with its cozy basement tea
era, I was quite delighted. But it was
1L It always is. I know this sounds
Uher rather, but the Rip Van Winkle
very much like the moon when it is
:1 it Is at its best. At least that is
sat the landlady told me.
I went down the stairs with less alacrl
' than I went up them. Someone in the
a room said: "The ladies of the Blank
srch have an information and service
ireau on Thirty-sixth street. So I went
ere. Two other girls were ahead of

aer was quite young, very stupid, and

evidently there was something about
? tnat disagreed with the lady, and she
no pains to hide it. Polly, it was
e':rst time in ray life that I ever felt
.ded in my selfrespect. But when I
?L out f that room I wondered what
a said or done. Anyhow, she had
n'.l6 t0 offer so out I went again
" the cold and cruel world.
f!t quite desperate so I said to
a I: "This has got to stop,

' save in some other way. And I
. 0Ver t0 a lovely little nomey hotel
J i?"fifth street, and asked for a
uro'i cIerk ,ooke at me, and said
e'y that their rooms were all taken.
I went to two other hotels and their
rooms were all taken. It was funny. It
did not seem as if there should be such
a sudden run on hotels. And then sud
denly I remembered that I had heard that
many hotels in New York refused to take
unchaperoned ' girls. Patty, way back
yonaer in the land of shamrock and
colleens, I had fighting ancestry, and I
have had them every generation since,
they tell me. I don't doubt it. I was
mad clear through when that idea hal
gradually seeped itself into my, brain.
But there was one hotel knew alt
about. I had stayed there several times
by myself. So I called up the McAlpin
and asked if I could have a room re
served on the woman's floor, and received
an affirmative reply. Over - went, bag
and baggage, boiling with rage against
those other hotel men whose hotels were
too full to take me in.
The woman's floor of the McAlpin is
unique. It is particularly for girls and
women traveling alone. Presiding over it
is a genius in the way of a charming
and cultivated woman, with whom one
may register, and with the proper cre
dentials, meet other club" women, . and
get in touch with club life in New York.
.For instance, if you are a V. D. C.
and of course you are or an F. F. V., nr
a P. H. D.t or a D. P.- Q., you register
and show your union card, and there you
are. . The hostess of the woman's floor
puts you in touch with the president of
your club, and you meet other club
women and so on, ad infinitum. '
She also arranges sight-seeing parties
for you, or theatre parties, and secures
for you a proper chaperone. However,
being unused to being dragged hither and
yon by even the most willing victims, I
did not go in for any of these diver
sions. Instead I spent my time that aft
ernoon with the hairdresser on the same
floor. For there are hairdressers and
manicurists and stenographers and la
dies' maids and everything.
was very economical, so I took a
room with hot and cold water, but with
out bath, and it cost me $2.50. But I
spent a dollar more, dropping quarters
in the slot metre, for the fascinating
tittle toilet articles they have in all the
hotel bedrooms here.
But I "was staring bankruptcy In the
face, by the next morning, so I had to
count my dollars. Somehow, long ago.
I had heard of the Martha Washington
hoteL So I set out to find it. It w-
East Twenty-nith street, I think it s
twenty-nine, anyhow it's in the twenties
I never was good at figures. There are
three hundred rooms, and not a single
man, or a married one either, for that
matter, is allowed in that hotel.
Now and then one may see one, like a
lost sheep, or snooping about, like a roar
ing f.on, but they are just attaches not
fixtures. They do not belong. All tho
wemen get rid of them as soon as possi
ble. And they cannot rent a room at the
-Martha Washington. Somehow that
seemed to sort of even up things, and 1
was glad.
I got me a room for $1.50 and it was
dear in every wey except in price. Not
a very big room, but oh, such a nice
big closet. The bed was white, and so
was the dresser and the little reading
table, and the rocker and the straight
chnfr. which were the only furnishings.
The big closet was fitted out with lots f-f
hooks, and runnig hot and cold water,
pnd a place to put your shoes and And So
Forth, to quote Yours Truly, Lt. Harmon

I am going to stay here for a while,
anyhow. Penny says she has always want

clover where she is. We never do know

"Within ten minutes after an applica
tion of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks' use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first yes but real
ly new haii growing all over the
scalp. .
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dulL faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. The effect is amazing' your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
nave an appearance of abundance; an
Incomparable lustre, softnes and luxu
riance. Get a email bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment that's all you
surely can ' have beautiful hair and
lots of it if you will Just try a little
Danderine. Adv.
