Others Will Be Happy When

Miss Maggie Carney was a domestic
several months ago, and labored indus
triously for the usual stipend given to
young women for household work in
the family of Edward Streeter at
Glenwood street. According to her own
story she received letters from Lawyer
Sullivan in Lawrence, who was her
uncle's attorney telling her that she
was heir to her uncle's estate and that
he had left bank books which could at
any time be turned into $4,000 ready
cash. Maggie Immediately gave up her
situation and lived with her friends
about town for several weeks, having
attentions lavished on her not only
by her former friends, but by several
new ones who We're anxious "to help
any young girl along in the world who
didn't have anyone to look after her "
She smiled graciously on all of them,
and finding herself so popular, almost
in a minute, she decided to give a pub
lie reception in Horticultural hall.
From Janitor HixOn she engaged the
hall, but her friends tried to dissuade
her from holding such an affair in
Lent. Maggie refused at first to listen
to them, and made arrangements with
Harry E. Brigham, manager OF the IA
nous orchestra in Marlboro, to furnish
music. The majority of her intimate
friends she appointed floor directors,
assistants and aids, and everybody
voted Maggie to be top-notcher. Sew
eral weeks after she made all arrange

ten5ion of postponing the affair until
after the Lenten season, and accord
ingly everybody agreed with Maggie
that it would be a good idea.
AS her education had not been of the
best in early life, Maggie at the advice
of friends, decided to go to school in
Marlboro and there become better ac-
uuainted with the English language,
that she might be able to do the proper
thing when she mingled with the
moneyed people Of the universe. Sew
eral times she announced to her friends
that it would be nice thing to be a
nurse and announced her intention of
going to the Carney Hospital in Boston.
Everybody told her that she would
make grand nurse, and Maggie was
worked up to high pitch of excite
ment. Suddenly she packed UP and
went to Marlboro, where she remained
for several weeks at a parochial school
in that city.
People who are in a position to know
say that Maggie'S mail was large
enough to require the assistance Of a
secretary while she was at the school
and the inquiries after her health came
thick and fast. She suddenly appeared
again in Worcester and visited al least
two places Of business in this CITY. il

these places was Flint e. Barkers, on
Main street and here Maggie pur-
