By necessity he's an eIpressman, by
choice an applejack connoisseur and by

Old Nassau. He first acquired local fame
and the name of Helldevil in the fall Of
1885, when Doc Hillebrand entered college.
Hillebrand had played football and base

practically transferred from Willy to the
Smith family. which might have been
compelled to struggle for years and then
have failed to acquire 1t but for WHY'S
i'd and comfort
During the years in which the Smiths, un-
der his eyes. were developing into social
somebodies in New York Willy had the enjoy
ment OF their home and their millions to
almost the same extent as the family did.
Milionaires like the paternal Smith have
many opportunities to help others to wealth.
Nobody ever supposed that Willy received
any monetary compensation for what he
did-that is to say, monetary compensst ton
that took the form of vulgar payment for
his services But he has increased his pos
sessions Of this worlds goods steadily
and as he has put several other families
through the same successful progress as
the Smiths. his original triumphs. it is fair
to conclude that he found other comfort
IN the exercise Of his social tact than the
mere delight OF seeing his clients arrive.

There appeared last week one OF those
advertisements printed at rare intervals
in the New York newspapers promising
social advancement in the most exclusive
circles to any person willing to pay young

announcements create little comment. In
ono or two cases which have come to
notice In recent years it was commonly

throw the prestige of her rank over any
American or colonial family with money
enough to buy place in London society.
J New Workers rarely hear Of any person
who has introduced to society here strangers
who had money but no acquaintance.
There are certain members Of society who
are known 10 utilize for material aid their
acquaintance and friendship in society
but they do not advertise the fact openly,
1t Is not unusual to hear such explana-
tons of social success as this: Did you
ever soc anything like the Smiths? Certainly
Willy Pushit did wonders for them
In this particular case the Willy referred
to after two or three years landed very
rich Western family in the heart Of New
port society He had millions at his back,
but these millions had TO be judiciously
disseminated, not poured out with vulgarity
or too excessive lavishness; and again, II
was important 10 see that they were spent
on the right kind OF people.
, Willy had to look a. ter these details in
addition to making them acquainted with
