a Low Collar asked him if he had heard

he never turned a Hair.

Miss Haw reclined at half length In the
Turkish Corner and asked the Piker what
he thought of Sienkiewlcz. The Piker
knew that he had heard that name sprung
somewhere before, but If he had tried to

Once there was man who wore Six
and three-quarters Hat and had been so
busy staving off the People who needed
it right away because they had some
Bills to meet, that he never found time
to sit down and absorb Culture. Yet he
had to go out and meet those who wore
Specs and had these high Mansard Fore
heads Sometimes he found himself in the
Front Room where every one was expect

This Man was a Pin-Head in a good
many Respects, but he was as Wise as
a Serpent. A man does not have to be
stocked UP with Information in order to
be Wise. This Man was what Edmund
Clarence Stedman would call a Piker. A
Piker is one who gets into the Game on
Small Capital and Lets On to be holding
back a huge Reserve. A Piker is usually

Square. The ballroom, 10000 square feet

by the exclusive organization known as
the New York Assembly; but owing to
the pressure of other demands upon Pres

place until May Z. Mrs. Washington had
not yet reached New York, but the Pres
