A Summer Millionaire

Jimmy Baker is a journeyman bar
Der. Last July he got on good
thing" at a racetrack and won $l2O.
He Immediately resigned his position
and started to take two weeks va
cation He had heard some of the
patrons of the downtown barber shop
where he worked talking about Ocon-
omowoc as being dead swell place"
and he decided that II would just
about suit him 80 long as his Sl2O
held out.
He took a fine room at the swell
est" hotel and started in to try to en-
Joy himself But nobody at the hotel
seemed to be anxious to make his ac-
Quaintance. Even the pretty young
woman in blue and pink lowered shirt
waist who acted as telegraph opera
tor in the hotel lobby was exceedingly
chilly. In the big hotel dining room
the summer girls and their guardian
mammas never even seemed to see
Jimmy, though he never came in I'M
til everybody else was seated and was
always careful to comb his hairy into
elaborate semi-circles on either side
his forehead.
Four or five days had gone by in
this way and Jimmy was almost ready
to declare that society life was all a
snare and a delusion.
Meanwhile. the small blond young
woman who sent and received mes
sages had unconsciously twined her
self tightly into the tendTils of jim
my's helpless affection. Time after time
Jimmy sauntered airly up to her desk
and made some playful remark which
was intended to be fascinating. But
1t was no use. Miss Maginn always
looked up with a sober and business
like air and inquired whether he was
expecting a message.
That finally gave him an idea. He
had never received but two messages
by telegraph in his life, but there
seemed to be no reason why he should
| not get few. He sat down and
wrote long letter to one of the boys
in the barber shop at Chicago.
That evening Jimmy spent in pain
fully watching a dance in the hotel
dining room, watching with envious
eyes q young man in a white yachting
suit as he whirled the beauteous Miss
Maginn round the long room in a
waltz. And Miss Maginn never even
glanced IN his direction.
; Dear me! What a change there
was in the morning. When Jimmy
came down into the lobby on his way
to breakfast pretty Miss Maginn. look
ing as fresh as daisy before the sun
had slipped the dew from its petals,
looked up at him with a smile.

wistfully to the shore of the city, he

.All Round Crowns

Mrs. Schwab is said to have bopusnt
in Paris an "all round crown" Of pre-
cious stones, set after the fashion of
royalty's crowns. The price of sim
pie "all round crown" is not less than
$3.50 900, and the duty is no small item.
The Schwab crown is set with great
emera!ds. 1t Is a six-pronged affair,
and each prong is tipped with ola
mond of good size. BARONESS Won
Never of London has the finest Jew
eled crown outside of royalty. The
groundwork is massive and pear
shaped pearls form the prongs. The
crown has a cap within, composed Of
white velvet. Because she wears 1t,
the baroness is criticised. 1t is said
she apes nobility, and, not being a
peeress, is not entitled to her cap and
gown.--New York Press
