STIRS UP NEW YORK GIRLS.
Oner of Chicago MiIlionaire for
'Model" Servant Discovers
Many Candidates.

John Farson, of Chicago, was report
ed in morning paper the other day as
being at the Waldorf hotel. The story
OF his offer of 100000 for a model
servant girl had become known in New
York, and the Herald tells what hap
pened IN the following fashion,:
Iall and majestic, with gown
which had the Paris stamp, she swept
through the Thirty-third street CORR
dor of the Waldorf Astoria and pre-
sented herself before the room clerk.
Mr.. Farson, of Chicago; ] wish to
see him. she said.
Went to Chicago last night re-
joined the clerk Suppose you came
to see him about the servant girl prop
osition?' z
Precisely. For so years I've been
hunting for the same servant girl he is
Offering 100000 for, and have not
found her. I suspect that 1 know some
thing about keeping house. In fact, I
can DO anything about house except
build one, and would like to talk busi-
ness with this Chicago multi-million-
aire.' =
Saying which, with faint blush of
embarrassment, she rustled out of the
motel. She was but one of the many
women, young, aged, modest, quaint,
shy and presumtuous, who called at
the Waldorf-Astoria to see Mr.. Farson
about his offer to servant girl who un-
derstands her business. Unless he
locks himself in safe deposit vault it
is plainly evident that Mr.. Farson is
gong to be kept pretty busy for some
time. Half of those who sought him de-
clared that they would start for Chi
cago at once to see him and find out if
he meant all he had said.
while the model servant may be a
mere fancy, as thousands of household.
