THE Best Story I Have Heard
by
A. F. GRAHAM
(Secretary of the R.S.A.).
IN a city restaurant the waitresses were being assailed by disgruntled patrons, who were dissatisfied with the fare provided. Observing that one of the girls was slightly down at the mouth, a man who was seated by himself in the corner called her over. “ What’s the matter?” he She told him that everyone was complaining about the food. “ Well, I don’t know,” said the fellow, smilingly, “tor the life of me, I can’t see why these people complain about this soup, anyway.” For a moment the waitress did not reply. Then, turning to go, she stopped abruptly. “ They wouldn’t,” she said, “ if only the cook would admit it’s soup. He says it’s coffee.” Lieutenant Arthur Owen, E.F., will tell a story for “Star” readers to-morrow.
