Hypnotic Faculty Of Making Friends.


Three years ago young woman came to
New York from the country. with theory
She had no friends here, she brought no
introduction. She was Of peculiarly
modest and retiring disposition, but she
possessed the almost hypnotic faculty Of
making friends. In surprisingly brief
time she had won her way into the most
exclusive get.
She had not been here long before she
met q prominent New Yorker. who soon
came to be her most devoted admirer and
assisted her in many ways. Miss Millikin
was equally devoted to him. and from the
beginning OF her acquaintance with MIN

entirely from business, that this particular
friend of hers has been able to hand. .

Miss Millikin's influence OF late and finds

travels without her. She is his constant
case is only typical OF the spell she exercises
on those who come under her influence.
At one period Of her professional career
Miss Millikin was the constant attendant
upon young woman Of this city who had
given up society to devote her life to chart
table work. The two became SO inseparable
that when the other young woman married
Miss Millikin accompanied her on the we'd
ding journey.
II was on this occasion that Miss NJ llikin
made her appearance in the North woods,
| where. as usual, she made many VAIN
friends. She delighted the cottage colon
and RENAME d for few weeks as the guest
Of a Bostonian.

That Miss Millikin's presence in he family
