fit it by his journey East.
William L. Whitwell is at the Waldorf.
Mr.. and Mrs. a. D. Sharon and Miss
Sharon arrived from the West Friday, and

This hosiery was originally built by that
wonderful old millionaire, A. 7. Stewart,
for the purpose of providing a home for
professional and working women. The
scheme was magnificent one, and should
have succeeded. Discord among the
''powers that we're" caused the project to
fall through, and the immense structure
was shortly afterward converted into a
frst-class hotel.
Mrs. George w. Baldwin paid a flying
visit to he- father, Lucky" Baldwin, this
week.
On her way home she will join her hus-
band in Cincinnati. Together they will
visit week or two with relatives in
Ohio, and then proceed westward.
Lucky" Baldwin has done very little
with his stable this season. He has every
confidence in the string" however, and
expects big innings later on.
w. S. Hobart will ship his Del Monte
stable in a few days, when it will be en-
tered for the winter races in California.
Ferrier has made a remarkable record
during the Sheepshead Bay meeting. He
has won a good share of money, and his
behavior has been enough to make his
owner, Mr.. Hobart, and his trainer, Mr..
Hum. very proud of him.
There are lot of great mems sons in
New York just now. There's Blaine's and
Grants, Garfeld's and Harrison's, Sher-
mans and Ingersol's, and yet the world
never hears of them as havin. done any
thing great enough to be recorded. Why
is it? May be they are too young to have
decided what will make them great
quickest and with the least trouble. They
all have time to be heard from, for none
OF them is over 42.
Frank Brown, who divides his time be-
tween Idaho, Utah and California, has
been in New York for several weeks. He
has succeeded in placing his Idaho
properties at handsome profit.
Every baldheaded man who has back
yard to sit in or a fre-escape to stand on
is congratulating himself these days be-
cause some wise noddle has discovered
that a fine new crop of hirsute decoration
will sprout and grow on a bald pate if the
pate is exposed a given time each day to-
the warm rays of the sun. 1t will not be
very long ere there will be as many bald
headed sun worshipers as there are bars
footed grass walkers. Already a number
of the faddists are combining the two
''new wrinkles" and walk over the dewy
sun-kissed grass with bare feet and un-
covered heads.
One can't blame men nowadays for be-
coming alarmed at their baIdheaded
futures. The majority of men have very
thin locks, even if they have not arrived
at the perfectly bald stage. There seems
to be considerable philosophy and good
reason in the open-air sun bath. What's
the need of hats. anyhow
Thick felt hats and deadly dyed beavers
are undoubtedly very destructive to the
hair follicles and sabaceous glands. At
least, there will be no harm done in try
ing the "bareheaded sun shower"
