A banquet was In progress In Jamca Creese's studio. The studio waa a syn onym of luxury. The entertainments given there were Lucullan In charac ter, and a truthful description of them would read like a chapter from "Quo Vadls." In this Instance, the boat had surpassed all 'his former munificent hospitality. The "little spread." as Mr. Breeze chose to designate It, cost 9150 a plate. Artists, architects and men about town, prltb several women of the "fashionable" stratum of tha under world. were hla guests. There had been much drinking and little eating, toasta brilliant but requiring expurga tion for family use, and tha hour was nearing dawn. The guests ware try ing politely to repress signs of weari ness when the host served hla plecs de rsslstanca. Girl Burzts Pit’s Crust Four negroes sntered, carrying a huge pie, around which were grouped wax candles of .vary shade. Tht ne groes retired. The banqueters looked on In amased silence. Beneath the crust. In tha mlddlt of tha tabls, there waa a faint stir, as If from tome liv ing thing. At a sign from Mr. Breeze the orchestra, concealed by palms, swung Into tht strains of ths old nurssry jungle: Simultaneously the stir beneath the crust Increased. It was burst by a movement from beneath, and there rose a slim figure, half 'child, half woman, who turned a pretty Infantile bird about to- fly, while twenty-four golden canaries, that had been im prisoned In cages with her, released bv her hand, flew about In every di rection. Taken by Stanford White, One of the men sitting at the end of the table rose and pressed his way to the middle. He laughingly lifted the girl from the table to the floor. He was Stanford White.

Turned Into the Street. “I was lifted from the pie to a seat at the tabls, and found myself ths queen of the revel,” she said, was daxxling for a little while, but In the end It proved a sad queendom. "Mr. Whip was kind for a short time, but he went to Europe, and when he returned and I tried to see him he waa never In. He had Instructed his clerks to gat rid of me with as little trouble ss possible. I never saw him again.” Thu* was the girl, not yet sixteen, turned Into the streets to live as aha might. By a strange coincidence, Susie Johnson married, snd when her hus band learned of the "girt In the pie” dinner he brooded over the episode In his wife’s life until he almost be came Insane. It ended, not In Harry Thaw’s way, but by hla desertion of her. CANDY FACTORY GIRLS WALK OUT AND THEN WALK RIGHT BACK IN What those addicted to slang might call the “candy kids’’ and others the sweet girls, crested some little ex citement at Block's candy and crack er factory on Ellis street, near West Hunter, by "striking,” or having a “walk out.” After reconsidering the matter, many ef them derided to come back and are now at work again.

The walkout was confined to the stick randy department. Some thirty girls, mostly helpers, decided that their wages should be higher and hours shorter. After holding a number of meetings the decision was reached to leave unless something watt done by the owners of the big establishment. This was carried Into effect last Satur day, but Thursday morning many of the girls were back In their old posi tions. Mr. Block said Thursday that he had about all the employees he wanted.
