newspapers were too big; he could not en-.

She is. probably. the most beautiful
woman of the century. She might live in
great luxury. She might have ruined the
lives of hundreds Of men, but she has not
done 1t. OF course, she is not of the great
world, but when you realize how much
harm she could have done and how she
has refrained from 1t, think she deserves
to be called a good girl. You ask about the
scandal of the Princess de Chimay. It
was obominable. But when at dinner tina

The porter calls out: "All off for Phila-
delphia, Broad street stationp' And find
myself in the finest railroad station in
this country, and the one which never
enter without regretting that I do not
know the people in power on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. Why? Well, long to ex.
press to them my appreciation of the po-
likeness shown by every brass-buttoned
individual in the big building. The eleva-
tor man takes off his cap when I ask him
a question. The porter raises his cap
when he helps me in a hanson, and the
hanson driver belonging, as the words on
his handsom show, to the big corpora
ton, does not overcharge me, and accepts
the money due him with a bow and a
smile. Such politeness Is so new to US
vulgar New Workers that, when we meet
1t we are surprised at lL, and we yearn to
tell how delightful it is to us. And yet
we don't know exactly what road to pur-
sue to disseminate our gratitude My
French companion approves of our rail-
roads and with me he appreciates the po-
likeness of the Philadelphia officials.

opinion of men in power in New York,
even If their powers only extend to COLI

The time has come for luncheon. Be-
fore me is the famous Delaware shad-
planked, as it only can be in those estab-
lishments presided over by the wise host
of the Waldorf. Surely much that is GOOD
comes out of Philadelphia!
That gives any polite Philadelphia edl-
tor an opportunity to say: much that Is
good comes into Philadelphia when the
limited express deposits at the Broad
