So slates Mrs. Marie Husch, who was a general servant to tho uu tlior and the two spinsters, the Misses Hal in, who shared a house with him. "Anderson wus very particular," she said. "He Insisted upon my addressing htm In the third per son with the title conferred upon him by the king Konferenstraad. This was a much coveted title given to retired cabinet ministers and merchant princes, but never before to a mere poet." The story teller also had his meals at a specified time in a cer tain way and when he read his newest work to the Misses Hallln where Mrs. It u soli .went outdoors, their needlework. ' No matter where Mrs. Hurch went outdoors, she had to wear a coat and when Andersen gave her tickets to the theater he also presented her with a pair of white gloves. "All nice people." he remarked, "wear white gloves to the theater." Andersen had a soft couch upon f which he. weaved his tales of the, ralrb-s. "He was a tall and painfully spare man," Mrs. Husch said. "He could only find rest on a bed made up of soft pillows." i toe. The soreness disappeared rap idly."

ACCEPT OUR REST WISHES FOR .A BRIGHT, AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. Norton's Kiddy Shop HYPOCRISY IN BUSINESS. During nnd since the war tliere has been so much talk about service the public limy have come honestly by the Ix-lief that people are in business primarily for the good they can do others and to make a living for -themselves lis nn lifter-thought. Discussing this anomalous situatku in the Baltimore Sun, II. I,. Mencken remarks: "I see nothing discreditable in that motive (profit mak ing). It is honest, it is honorable and it is sound. . There is no nonsense about it. But has it of late gone under a cloud? Then blame the Babbitts who shrink from con fessing it frankly and try to pretend they are in business for purely philanthropic and even messianic purposes." Those luncheon orators who pretend to this commercial philanthropy are not so far wrong as they are reversed in their line of reasoning. They have merely placed the cart la-fore the horse. Instead of men going into business to crve mankind, as the Babbitts preach, they give service to stay in business. The relation between merchant and cus tomer can be either mutually beneficial or entirely unsatsis factory to both sides. The merchant who gives the most service receives the most profit, and, on the other hand, businessmen who sene little profit little. Flvm the customer's viewpoint the lxst businessman is the one who devotes himself strictly and wholeheartedly lo business, who likes it ami rets fun out of it. who 'mas ters every detail nf it, whose definition of service is "hon est goods at honest prices." who takes a pleasure in mak ing profits for himself and his patrons on the same deal, I'nd makes of his place of business a community institution so it will make for himself a more comfortable living. uiii-ilum-il tin- An.n rsun urn- , (l , ho h11, BiUlli(,, m(.r I, -i I. im ly in-vt yi-nr.
