BUSY PRESS AGENTS.

DUSY ThCSS RGEN ..
Washington Star: THE two busiest
press agents that l know anything
about" said a tired newspaper man
who ven down 10 Atlantic City 10 see
EN- parade on the boardwalk on Easter
Sunday, ARE the ingenious and over
worked chaps who do the rain-maktns
for the pair of big piers down there.
You see. there's an Italian band on
each of these piers-both of which
bands have something to do with ltal-
ian royalty, to judge from their
names-and of course these IVY" pailoS
are deadly rivals. anyhow, the press
agents of the piers and of the bands
on the piers are deadly rivals lSo'h
bands are corking good ones. at that,
but the quality of music furnished by
the and isn't the thing that gets the
money. The non thing Is embodleu
wholly in the personalities OF the lead
erS.
"They are hairy leaders, all right.
Creatore is a bullet-head with close
cropped hair compared to the one work
Ing on the Atlantic City pier with the
inky mop, and the other leader has a
name of reddish hirsute that would
make Mrs. Carter in her widest emo
tional moments feel as if she had never
succeeded in growing any.
The one with the midnight mop is
mighty cute and fetching, too. with big
brown eyes the size and shape of horse
CheStnutS md a way of unnln ms
long tapering fingers through his tlm-
merriam treSSes that's all the coin. hrSt,
place and show. across the board. Hes
ender II willowy, too, and with the
loveliest natural pallor YOU ever saw
or heard tell of. and the Ouida-reading
girls have got it all framed up that
there's some deep and dark secret at
tached to that pailor.
The other leader-the one with the
bromley mane-iS more robust ana
sQuatty and masculine, but he. too.
when it comes to the slow stuff with
the wood wind. has got a way of rails
ing his lamps toward the zenith that
causes the Skirted young persons in
front to wonder what kind of Il looking
woman It could have been to make him
just all soul, so to speak.
We'll, n few months ago-toward the
close of the fall season at the beach. I
believe-the press agent of the pier
wherein the young man with the Sly
gian-dark locks performs doped 1t
out that something nd have to be done
to cut under that other band So he
promptly engaged the band leader with
the blue-black mop to a young mil
lior-heiress somewhere up in Pennsyl-
vania-daughter of a steel and coke
king, you know. whose four millions, or
some such trif1e, is going to belong to
her solely and in her own right and
who, consequently, had the privilege TO
engage herself to anybody that she
wanted to. Press agent did all the en-
gaging himself. Natural-horn match
makers, some of these press agents
anyhow, and he made the story a rip
per. Said that the girl was listening tC
the and one evening. when she sud
denly hankered to hear 'Violets.' SC
she scrubbed a little note preferring
this request, and sent it to the leader
by a messenger. He got by with the
'Niolets' tune in glorious shape, the
effect of which was so enhancing upor
the young million-heiress that she
promptly got some properly creden'
tailed person to bring about q meeting
between her and the moppy-locked con
gagged almost While you wait when the
thing had gone as far US that. OF
course, her parents developed a dispo,
sition to insist upon their daughters
chopping out this matrimonial venture
on the ground that the moppy conduc'
tor was an and all that, bu'
when the conductor was able to prove
that he was really the Due de Cant
scratchmyearini. or something Xix
that. and the wner of two or three
Farnese palaces-somewhat mortgagec
and extensive ~vine-growing estate!
