TT WAS fortunate that they found the row of figures before even the •oup. U they had chanced upon It along toward the coffee they could have pau used for only a hurried glance and then been bustled into the great outdoors. Leisure is not served la the Boa# Garden restaurant on Broad way. The atmosphere does not encourage even fairly braaen romance and Jim's and Nancy’s was a newly kindled, shy little flame that might blaze up georgeously or puff out altogether ac cording to which zephyr of chance blew first. Nan py discovered the penciled fig ures on the back of their menu: R 4 0 . F—65, 0-36. etc. 8h« read the first Items aloud. “Seme thrifty souls have keen add ing up their dinner check,” said Jim, finding all the savory that the Rose Garden’s special dinner lacked in just sharing it with Nancy. “Let’s figure out what they had. ‘R,’ that must be roe st.” He consulted the a la carte aide of the menu. Subs enough; prime ribs a Pledro were forty cents. “The girl bad fish,” Nancy took it up gayly. Taking up sympathy everything in lift with quick, gay was Nancy's way. "Mercy, the extravagant creature must have had fillet of eole; that's the only fish that’s sixty-five feats. But what can 'I— fi’ or In be? There’s nothing on the menu for Tney PSjfr" studied the menu for a few puzzled moments, then Jim grinned, enlightened. “It’s a budgetl” he ex “These aren’t foods at all. I ‘R—40,’ that’s rent, forty dollars. And •r-68,’ 111 bet that’s food.” “Of course it Is!” delighted. “And *C 7 is clothing. But what on earth is T— 8*r “Insurance!” said Jim promptly. "Slight a month’s a hundred a year. That’s about what five thousand straight life would cost a young fel low. I—I Just happened to look it up the other day.” “And ‘G & T is gas and ice,” Nan cy guessed triumphantly. An Incredulous pucker appeared be tween Jim's eyes. “That guy^isn’t allowing enough for rent. Is he? He can’t get a place fit to take a nice girl to for forty dollars, 1 an be’?” ■ Of course he can,” said Nancy. “My cousin lias a two-room flat out pear High Bridge that they pay thirty five for and it’s cute, if this girl has any ideas about fixing up a place, for ty’s plenty.” it It is?” Jim’s astonishment was tinged with sudden ^brightness. “‘A’ must be amusement. " lie—went om “Gosh, that fellow's got a nerve. Think of expecting a pretty girl who’s been used to good times and attention and everything, to settle down to eight dollars a month for amusement for two.”-----------------------------------------..........—.............. - Why, I don’t think that’s nervy at Rl1 - Two people could have an awful lot of fun on eight dollars a month. They could go to one good show—that would be four-sixty, balcony seats and car fare—and to a ‘movie’ or two. And then just think of the fun you can have without spending hardly anything! Skating on Van Cortlandt park in the winter and going on pic nics in the summer, building a fire and cooking outdoors. And having another couple In for dinner and to play cards afterward—that doesn’t cost much. That’s so,” Jim agreed. “Those things are a circus. And if you like a person a lot, It's fun just to stay home sometimes, read out loud or play crlbbage.” Cribbage is a good game,” said ^Jancy, after “Dad dinner and I used night to ptay when a game every I was a youngster." Jim looted across the table at her, so gay and pretty and dear. A game of cribbage after dinner every night with Nancy! He looked down at the figures, the chart by which some game little vessel was going to chance the seas. Of course the budget chart 4nay bepn drawn by a storm-tossed old couple, by a lone woman or a fa ther and son, but Jim would never be lieve It. “Thirty-five dollars a month for clothes,” he rend. “They can't make it for that, can they? If the girl likep the kind of clothes you wear, for 1« etanee?” Oh, surely It was a young couple who had drawn up the chart! The very breath of romance can be In a budget. The special dinner progressed from tasteless soup to tasteless coffee. The hungry buzzards in the aisle drew uearer as dessert approached. But Jim and Nancy neither tasted, saw nor heard the cheapness. For the second time that night, romance was falling over the twosome table like a snowstorm over prosy and familiar sights, changing rent and food and Insurance into glittering, mysterious charm. Under the eye of the disapproving waiter, Jim slipped the soiled menu Into his pocket, sent a wordless wish after the fellow mariners who had had K last. Wherever, whenever, however, they were setting sail, might their game little craft find good speed and lair weather! I t Last Day For Filing Capital Stock Tax Returns Tuesday is the last day for filing of capital stock tax returns. The time for filing was extended from July 31, the annual time for filing capital stock tax returns. The cor porations of the state have, there fore, had a 60 day extension of time in which to file the returns and the assumption will be that no addition al time will be necessary on the part of any corporation in filing its re turn. All corporations of every descrip tion, whether active or inactive, op erating or not operating, must file a capital stock tax return and all ac tive corporations, not specifically ex empt, whose net worth is more than $5,000, must pay capital stock tax. The commissioner of internal rev enue only is authorized to determine whether or not a corporation is lia ble for the payment of tax in cases where exemption is claimed, if it is believed a person is entitled to ex emption and this fact has not been established, a return must be regu larly filed and full information con cerning the operation of the business submitted to establish claim for ex emption. Joseph Rose, collector for this dis trict, says:' “M you are an officer of any corporation and responsible, for filing its returns and you have not filed them believing that you do not need to file a capital stock return, my suggestion is that you consult with the collector’s office or with someone familiar with capital stock returns and determine whether or not your corporation should file a return. All corporations of the state are a matter of record and if you do not file your return you can expect that your corporation will be investi gated and penalties will have to be assessed for failure to comply with the law. I do not want to collect penalties—all I want is to collect the tax.” Census of Sheep The sheep census gives us about ST.OOO.TIOO, compered with 79,000,000 for. the Australasian district, and a figure slightly in excess of_ our own for Argentina, says Nature Magazine.

King of England Closely Guarded Scotland m From Americans on Visit to Aberdeen, Sept. 29.—Looking after the welfare of the British monarch when he makes his annual visit to Balmoral, his Scottish Highland seat, is the annual efficiency test of the constabulary of the country. The of- ' ficers are proud of a record which H shows that not once during the pres ent reign has the king been annoyed in the royal grounds. The constabulary are preparing for the visit of the king at the end of the month. A large force has been dispatched to the castle and are keeping an eye out for any signs of coming disturbances or demonstra tions which might interfere with the rest the royal family allow them selves at Balmoral. During the reign of Victoria and Edward VII a few disturbances were created on the castle grounds by cranks, but since then the constabu lary have had the upper hand.
