go to the Aquarium to KOO the fishesfriik about are beginning to appreciatethe new a tract Ion to hlghtseers thus openedwhen tho witching Mason of nominationsappears on the political calendar
When Mayor bow went into office heestablished a peoples hour from II to 12
oclock each day when he would reoolvosuch visitors as had or thought they hadbusiness with him A few months of thattried the patience of the Mayor and thepeoples hour was abandoned Then camea period of short talks handed out by thoMayor In printed form for publicationin tho newspapers
While the reconstruction of the CityHall wns under way the Mayor decidedthat as a Mayor Is to l n elected next fallitmight bo well to return to the dally au-
diences with tho people So when the bigreception chamber In tho west wing of theCity Hall was sot In Its now decorativeglory formal notice was given that theMayor would l there from 1130 to 1230oclock five or six days a week The doorsT Tre to be open to all and each visitormight hIm the private ear of tho Mayor
When the appointed hour arrives thoMayor emerges from his private office andwith majestic strldo passes across the cor-ridor Reynolds Is at his rightand a sergeant of police In spotless uni-form walks on tho other side
The double doors of the chamber areopen When tho Mayor reaches that roomhe slows up a hit cautiously
And well ho may Tho new floor Is oflarge squares of polished wood It hasthe sheen of a freshly poUched boot andtho wax has made it slippery But theMayor now accustomed to walk on slipperypaths erect passes over it without loss ofdignity
The manner in which Secretary Reynoldstransport himself across in suggestive of aglide bred to a twostep Dancing mastersbring their pupils to the hall on Tuesdaysand Thursdays to point the example of thegraea of the wearer of the Order of theDouble Dragon Tho policeman assignedto be the badged and uniformed protectorof the Mayor has his hobnails manicuredeach day that be may not mar the mirrorlike surface of the floor
