WALL STREET SKETCHES.


did not live and dress well. n larg' number Of
them would have to bc pronounced homcly and
even rough looking.
The facts that they have considerable success
in certain female circles and that "A broker is
almost as inevitable figure in a New York ro-
nance as the jeane premier is in n French com
cdy. do not refutc this statement. They arc
taken not for their good looks. but for their
smartncss and for the libcralty with which they
spend money. Easy got. easy gone.
Az there is. however. no rule without cvcep-

not to have an enemy either in Wall street or
outside.
Unhappily. Sam Mills has disposition TO
grow corpuent Unless he takes to severe
regimen and goes less 10 sea. he will become
fat man in very few years. and the best
features Of his fine face will disappear.
He is a Long Island man Of about 80
