the Flying Yankee, coming from Bar Har-
Dor, the other day. She evidently pos
sessed lots Of money. but quite as certainly
had not possessed it long. Brains appar-
entity she never was burdened with. She
was Mrs. Giltlory without Mrs. Gilhory's
good nature. She made Mrs. Gilhory's
blunders, but did not have that ady's nairete.
As soon as she came into the car she COM
menced to infiict herself on everybody
around, to find fault with the seats with the
conductor, with the porter, with the other
passengers and with the weather, talking
with languid draw-in the "deah me -
$50 awfully tiahed' style.
One could easily see the nouceau richie in
her whole makeup and carriage. 1t was
plain that she had travelled. She had on reg
ular Partisan dress, one Of those plaid skirts
with a camefs hair overdress, and blue
shoulder-cape which looked very Frenchy
She had no need to talk in her loud voice
about being tired and sick of Europe and hop
ing she would not have 10 cross the ocean
again, to let an observer know she had been
abroad. She was accompanied BY her son,
botherng, w-browed youngster of a
dozen years, who aped the manners of a
cockney. and who, If his mother had given
him better attention earlier in life, would
not poster her so mucn, now. To complete

thirty. His hair was parted in the middle.

wore a collar two inches high and other re-
gala To match. He had a GOOD deal tn say
