From the New York Press
 Every one acquainted with Jack Nor gan-known to the world as J. Pierpont Morgan. Jr., and now in London as repre- sentative partner in his fathers branch banking house-declares him to be good fellow and a hard worker, with no nom sense about him. All his friends hope Rhe statement that he will be back in New York before summer is a true one, and though nobody pretends to have much in- side information about 1t, they think the story probable from the fact that he has hot surrendered the lease of his New Rochelle house.
 The cold truth is that young Morgan is as much in the dark concerning the date of his return as any one else, but he hopes to be back for number of reasons, not the least of which is a burning desire to give a certain bosom friend a few new points on "knoekabout" yachting.
 "Jack" Morgan's New Rochelle house Is built on Premium Point, rather more than a mile from the station, and has been his warm-weather home ever since his mar riage to the rich and well connected Miss Grew, of Boston. It isn't a specially pre- tentious residence, when you remember that he is the son and partner of a multi millionaire, but it's pleasant and home like and close to the water, three things that recommend 1t strongly to the young

CTS with the inscription Mr. and Mrs M and Miss M. Mrs. M passed these over with only an elevation of the eye brows, but her daughter thought it wise to leave the room. Opening her private letters Mrs. M read a note from a friend apologlzng for social error and inviting Miss M to assist at her at home that afternoon A second note con- tained an apology for not having invited Miss M to debutante luncheon on the previous day. Mrs. M was completely mystified, but an early visitor soon opened her eyes. The visitor called hurriedly to say how surprised she was that Mrs. M was introducing a daughter, and compli- ments were profuse upon the beauty and success of that daughter. '.She was quite the sweeteset thing yesterday at the musi- cale. Every fell in love with her. I want her to fill an unexpected vacancy in my young peoples dinner tonight.'
 Mrs. M gasped out: "There must be some mistake; have no daughter in so- cety.''
 ''Why. your niece introduced her to me-" interrupted the astonished visitor. But by this time Mrs. M was ringing the bell furiously, and both niece and daughter were hurriedly sumoned. Explanations fol- lowed, and ultimately, forgiveness, but aged to convince society that she was not son.
 This winter, when this same charming girl came out formally and correctly, and in her own instead of borrowed finery, there must have been several society men saying to themselves, By love, where have I seen somebody like Miss M? Must have been some one met last season."

few years younger than her good man. asked which of them was the patient, but no answer having been given to my in quiry, asked again. Then the young lady, with some hesitation, said:
 T am the patient, and my complaint is Jealousy. am jealous of my husband, and if you do not give me something to relieve me I shall go out of my mlnd'
 This accusation against the little man seemed to me to be the most ridiculous indeed, could not help thinking that If the accuser had been the accused 1t would have been more in the nature of things l assured the lady was extremely sorry for her, the more so that I was quite in competent to treat such a case. The hus- band protested his innocense and declared there was no cause whatever for her ao- cusations. The wife persisted in reiterating them, and so the wrangle went on until suddenly she fell from her chair on the floor in a fit, the spasmodic movements of which were strange and varied.
 At one moment the patient was extended at full length with her body arched for ward in a state opisthotonos. The next minute she was in a sitting position with the legs drawn up, making, while her hands clutched her throat, gutteral noise. Then she would throw herself on her back and thrust her arms and legs about, to the no small danger of those about her. Then becoming comparatively quiet and supine, she would quiver all over, while her eye lids trembled with great rapfdity. This state perhaps would be followed by general convulsive movements, in which she would put herself in the most grotesque pastures and make the most unlovely grimaces.

YOunO Jack" Morgan at Play and at Work. ss Docs Great Deal of the Latter and Little the FOm His .t. % Fondness for Ko6kdbo Races Willie SuCCeedfiS Father. ~

He's quite favorite with the smoking car crowded of New Rochelle commuters all of whom know him to speak to. and would recognize the pipe he smokes when driving to the station if they were to see 1t be- tween a savage's teeth in the wilds of Af- rica- He's an inveterate smoker, like his father, but he generally smokes cigars on the train. He is anything but snob. and he Is just as likely to talk all the way in with some clerk as any one else, and that s what makes him popular.
 Fond of Sports
 You'd hardly call him fluent talker, and he isn't much on story telling, but he's a mighty good listener, and he likes to hear good yarn. But his few words are by no means the result of a lack of thought and when he does open his mouth 1t Is always to say something worth hearing.
 Hes one Of the biggest men physically in all the New Rochelle committing crowd, being tall enough and broad enough to at- tract attention anywhere, and lately has been taking on a lot of fat for lack of exer- else, and that has made him little loggy in his movements. But when he's in good condition his muscles are as hard as iron, and he gets about as lively as the next one. He went in for athletics heels over head when he was in college, football na- turally being his favorite game.

man when he leased 1t. It belongs to David H Rink, and was built from the latter's own plans.
 Likes to Work
 ''Jack Morgan likes to work better than any chap I ever saw" said a banker friend the other day. Last summer the mana gers of the Corinthian fleet of New Ro- chelle, knowing how fond he was of yacht ing, asked him to take part in a Wednes- day regatta He said he was too busy.
 "So they offered, as an extra inducement. to add a special 'knockabout class-his yacht being of that build-and to guaran- tee cup for his craft. But he only drew a long breath, and said he couldn't think of leaving his office in the middle of the week just to sail boat. If they would change the regatta to Saturday, he might squeeze out half a day and take part
 ''No, his excessive devotion to business doesn't come from a desire to grasp every dollar in sight. But he can actually get more fun out of hard work than he can out of anything else. His working day is ten hours long in the summer time. I don't mean that he puts in that much time in the office, but he invariably used to leave his house at in the morning and never got back till in the evening. He was always actually at work by 10 and rarely quilted the white marble building at Wall and Broad streets much before 4:30.
 '.Hes as steady as the clock in his go- ings and comings All last summer you could be as certain of seeing Jack Nor gan's wagon drive up. to the New Rochelle station every morning just as the SPA train for New York pulled in as you could that the train itself would be on time; more so, in fact, for the train has been known to be late-Jack Morgan never.
