bartender in a Twenty-fourth street
saloon, near Sixth avenue, was about to
| close the place one night last week, when
two well-dressed girls came in, marched
boldly up to the bar and demanded glass
of beer apiece. The situation struck the
bartender as raordinary, but he set two
foamng glasses on the bar before the girls.
They slipped the beer slowly and engaged
him in conversation.
We are the two most popular shop
girls In Des MOines," they explained to
him. I'VE had voting contest out there,
and the two girls who were declared the
most popular were to get free trip to
New York to zee the sights We were
elected, and here we are"
But what are you doing in here at this
| hour of the night" inquired the bartender.
We'll, you see, We heard that most OF
New. York that was worth seeing was
worth seeing at night, and we don't know
any one to go round with us, so we are
going round alone"
Which seems to show that even the most
popular girls are sometimes thrown upon
their own resources.
In the diminished parade to be seen in
Central Park on these summer afternoons
Is an equipage that would hold its own
when the East Drive is much more crowded
than it lis to-day. The horses are as fine
as any others in the Park and in every detail
the equipment Of the turnout is complete.
The owner OF this equpage, who appears
in it nearly every afternoon, is the head
waiter in hotel in Fifth avenue. In spite
of the fact that the establishment is one
Of the most expensive in the city and pat
roni2ed by men Of wealth from other cities.
1t was not through his salary or his fees that
he earned enough to ride about Central
Park with his own horses and coachmhn.
He happened to be a favorite OF one OF the
Western visitors, who gave him some i'm
p0rtant information concerning the stock
market, and he was able to take advantage
of it. Some Of the money was invested in
an uptown apartment hotel, which mas
proved a paying venture
jacques Thi baud, the young French
violinist who is coming next year to the
United States, might have appeared here
first two years ago but for the violent oppo-
sition Of the young lady to whom he was
then engaged. Various impresarios en-
deavored to persuade NJ. Thibaud that his
fortune lay here. His betrothed was
quite determined that he should not leave
Europe her principal objection being her
impression that this was a land of bar
barians, in which all real artists were spoiled.
Since that time NJ Thibaud has married
this young woman, and her point OF view
has changed completely. The increased
prices paid here have made her entirely
willing to have her husband come over,
although she will not be able TO accompany
him.

organized in Boston July %, 1882. Its
objects are genealogical research and
the cultivation Of mutual acquaintance
and friendship. AL persons of the
name and race OF Eaton are eligible for
membership.
The association meets annually in
August, usually in fremont Temple,
Boston. Badges are provided for the
various branches Of the family-white
ribbon for the Plymouth Eatons, red
for the Oldham branch. yellow for
members Of the Hayerhill family. blue
for the descendants OF Jonas OF Read
ing. and pink for those who belong to
William Of Reading.
At one meeting OF the association a
member said that he had never made
a speech in his life, but he could not
refrain from expressing his delight at
meeting so many good-looking men
and handsome women Of the name of
Eaton, and that until the association
was formed he did not know TO how
many interesting people he was re-
lated.
The principal founders Of the Eaton
family who came to this country pre-
viOus TO 1910, were Francis, on the
Mayiower, 1920; John, who settled at
Dedham. and another John, who went

try. This was Francis Eaton, and his
descendants can claim membership in
the Mayfiower Society, for he was one
of the number to come over in that
historic ship. He was accompanied
by his wife, Sarah, who died the first
winter. By another marriage he had
three children. The autograph Of
Francis Eaton is preserved in the
county Office at Plymouth, and his
name is In the list of freemen, March
rs, 1888.
The living descendants of the set
tier, John Eaton-the youthful John
who married the widow-are many
thousands, and probably 1000 bear the
name of Eaton.
The number of distinguished men
whose ancestry can be traced to him
is considerable, and includes those
who have made their mark in the pull
pit, at bar, in war, medicine, bust
ness, politics, literature, art and sci
ence.
The Eatons have ever been a family
of intelligence and worth, of refine
ment and excellent social position, men
of character and influence.

This is not by any manner of means,
however, the only connection the Eat
ons have with the early wars of their
country. Their names are found in the
muster rolls of French and Indian
wars, the Revolution and the War of
1912.
David Eaton, who died about 1900,
left what was considered an enormous
estate for those days. One tradition
has it that he laid up in bottles for
his children several thousand pounds
in gold, but when he came to die none
of this was found. Another story is
that when his house burned he had
heavy box of coin, which was removed
from his burning house. He babe his
daughter Susannah sit on it in order
TO secure 1t, as the bottom was in
danger of coming out.
Many of the Eatons are found in
Nova Scotia. A David Eaton, horn
in Haverhill, Mass, is their ancestor.
In 1851 with many other New Eng
land people, he went to that province,
it having been depopulated by the ex-
pulsion of the French a few years be-
fore.
The crest of one Eaton arms is
the head of a lion. He is swallowing a
cask or tun, a rebus on Eaton (eatun).
The more usual crest is that given in
the illustratiOn-an eagles head sable;
in the mouth a sprig vert. Burke gives
both crests for Elton or Eaton.
