WEALTHY BACHELORS IN SUMMER
Millionaires' Houses that Are
Lonely During the Summer
Despite Owners Riches.

| Love levels ranks" said an old bache-
| lor clubman, stretching his feet out cCm-
| forlably until they touched the opposite
| ledge OF his fayorite curtained window
| looking down the outside promenade,
| ''aHd WHEN il comes TO summer divorces l
| find that it is not the poor bookkeeper
| who suffers any more than his millionaire
| kIusman. III lovely woman will desert
| home as soon us the air gets pleasant-why,
| poor man must suffer for IL, and there
| isn't any graduation according TO rank
II remember" continued he, smiling
| With lightly yelled glee, dropping in to
| see Millionaire George Gould one pleas
ant July day when his family, deserving
him uncercmonously, had all fled 10 the
| mountains.''
Mr. Gould sat upon a rear veranda Of
| his house, with his coat Off. trying to
! get cool. My call was a business one
! bat they showed me out 20 where ne toyed
/ with the breezes with a palm leaf fan.
- I'm glad TO see you said he, and I
| want you 10 stay 10 dinner. Yes,'-as /
| began To interrupt him-'yes. i wen know
| that you came on business about the
| raiiruad, but you are going TO be my
! guest all the same. Fact is, can't eat in
the summer when my family is away. If /
| stay home nearly starve to death. Can't
| eat opposite figure painted on the wall
"A this instant q trim maid announced
| dining room. Dinner was laid in state for
two and / jumped Immediately to the
! scheme. There was n standing order in
| that house to serve dinner the minute a
caller happened in, and thus save Mr.. Gould
| the horror OF tete a tete with the Cupid
over the fireplace.
AFTER dinner I asked Mr.. Gould what
he did when he was alone to amuse himself.
For answer ne whfstIed three times There

short yelps and into the room rushed some
Of the most splendid hounds / ever saw.
| They sprang up to their master nd leaped
| all over him. One-I think he called her

| to leave his chair when the other dogs were
driven og;. ''That is my summer amusement

| the manse.
Hermann OcIrichs." said the old club
man, falling into the easy attitude OF the
| man who is telling tal"s oTr. Of school and
| doesn't care who hears them, lis the
! funniest fellow ever 81 " when he is left
| in the city in midsummer, with a million
| dollars worth OF house urOn his hands and
! dozen servants. Instead OF repinine he sets
! to work TO have a good time. Hermann
