S WAITING FOR ARTS
ta Mi'
k By DOROTHY DOUGLAS, hi
tonMMMlk.aM.C
It was a cheap little restaurant on
tho Rust side. The food was not
had, neither was tho service, bat
thoro was a sense of burrenness about
it ull.
Wutrous went there for his midday
meal because It was Inexpensive an
nttrnctlon for Watrous. lie didn't
hnve much money nnd had senrcely a
hope of ever hnvliic any. He wns th
type, that blessed, hnppy-go-lucky, that
finds happiness In the moon, the flow
ers nnd In tho very fact that Ood baa
given m life.
Ills position was nn Indefinite sort
of clerkship In a depiirtmont store In
tho neighborhood. In tho evening he
wandered over to one nf the Ilohemlan
restaurants, his violin under his lan
guid .arm, and there pluyed while art
ists, actors, futurists what not nte
hetvrogeneitus mixtures of food.
In tho little rostaurnnt he usually
sketched attitudes while he absently
swallowed whatever Ids waitress had
considered nourishing nnd had placed
on the polished surface before him.
Had Watrous boon observing ho
would hnve known that he was, per
haps, the bost-earod-for patron In tho
place. Molly Cnroy,' who waited on
Iii in. always saw to that while sho
waited wistfully for tho day when ho
would turn his eyes In her direction.
Sho had that motherly tender look In
her eyes that nn artistic soul needs
In the eyes of his life partner nnd '
seldom chooses. If Watrous was con
scious of this attention no one knew
It hut Watrous.. Ho sketched on tho
menu cards whatever came within his
vision and tossed the quaint tittle
sketches aside when finished, Just as
ho ciime he cast nsido his serviette
when the final mouthful of Coffee hud
passed his Hps. 11
He always left a dime on the table.
Molly Carey saved all those dimes.
She preserved them no loss systemat
ically than sho saved every sketch
that Watrous made on the menu
curds.
The sketches wore far more clever
than sho realized portraits of patrons
In various characteristic attitudes. Tho
very tone, or, perhaps, lack of tone, of
the cheap little restnumnt wns vividly
drawn.
Tho only sketch he hnd made which
Watrous did not leave In the restnu
rnnt was one of Moolly. Something
about her wlstf illness, her entire Inck
of self-consciousness, had dragged a
hasty likeness of her from his pencil.
He had It In his room on his shaving
stand. Dreamy, semiconscious ap
preciation hud prompted him to put It
there.
Watrous was never definite about
lunching anywhere. There were days
when the last quarter had gone "some
where In tho world of spent money."
Hut because ho never qulto knew
whether his coat was on or not, nor
remembered having purchased cloth
ing at odd optimistic moments, Molly
Carey supposed him to he desperately
poor and unhappy.
Molly never craved tiinperament.
She only wanted to be human nnd
mako other people comfortable, but
she had a thrill of the ultra tempera
mental upon tho day when she took tho
sketches Watrous had made to nn nrt
dealer. The artist on lower Fifth ave
nue offered her so wonderful n price
for them that for the moment she tlont
ed high up In a bubbling cloud of emo
tionalism. Acting on her own counsel, Molly
left 12 with the nrt dealer nnd brought
hack 12 tastefully framed to the res
taurant. The manager was delighted.
Ills round face beamed, nnd he gave
Molly a good-sized check for the pos
session of the drawings.
In the evening when the day's work
was over Molly stayed at the restau
rant nnd helped hang the drawings.
An artistic, .quaint atmosphere took
hold of the room. Fascination, that
most mysterious of nil powers, reach
ed out and claimed the mind. The
small restaurant became homy, while
at luncheon next day animated groups
of patrons stood gazing at themselves
vividly drawn In those characteristic
poses." They brought friends, nnd
friends brought more friends.
Watrous, when he had discovered a
mountainous check tilting his plate,
cast n swift glance at tho drawings on
the wells and n deep flush rushed over
his brow, lie wanted to hide under
the minute serviette. Ho rammed tho
check into his pocket nnd tried to look
unconcerned.
He went home that evening, nnd his
eyes proclaimed the fact that ho was
off dreaming again. When Je wont to
the plaeo where he wns wont to fiddle
he grouped his friends about him nnd
told them n tale which dragged them
one nnd nil over to the other restau
rant on the East side. When they en-,
tored with n babble of laughter nnd
happy with expectation nnd the Joy of
n new scene, Molly nnd th manager
drew apart.
There was something defiant In the
expression of his eyes that prompted
Molly to seek shelter, for ho was mak-j
Ing straightway through tho line of ta-'
liles for lier. '
Watrous caught Molly nnd encircled
her with his arms. In spite of himself
he trembled. Ureathless silence fol-J
lowed. The crowd watted.
Wutrous looked down Into Molly'a
eyes. She cast a swift glance nroundl
blushed charmingly and snuggled her
head against his shoulder.
' The silence was broken by cheers.'
Love hud met love, nnd all was well.

Derivation of "8pruce."
It Is Interesting to observe tho
derivation of the word "spruce." From
a number of eurly quotations It Is clear
that "spruce," a vnrlunt of "pruce,"
simply stood for Prussian, the form
"spruce" rather thun "pruce" being ca-i
tubllBhod purtly by tho German "spros-i
sen," meaulns sprouts, or young shoots,1
and sprossen-bler, or spruce beer, la
made of the sprouts of this Or.
