Falardo, I" the instrumental man, as

John Henry on Summer Resi- 1906
By GEORGE ". HOBART our

After I had watched him for about
FIVE minutes trying to juggle the new
peas on a knife, it got on my nerves,
SO l spoke to him.
"Ike," l said, thinking possibly |
might cure him with bit OF sarcasm,
aren't you afraid you will cut yourself
with the sword?"
ooh! no, no." Ike answered, looking
at the knife with contempt; "there is
no danger at all. But ut the Palmer
House in Chicago-Ah! there they have
sharp knives!"
Ike is beyond the breakers for mine.
The races at Saratoga were extremely
exciting.
A friend of mine volunteered to pick
out the winners for me, but after ! lost
eight dollars | decided that it would be
cheaper to pick out new friend.
But l do love to mingle with society
at the summer resorts.
1t isn't generally known, but one Of
my great-grandfathers was present when
the original 400 landed at Plymouth
Rock.
My great-grandfather owned the rock.
A couple of nights after the original
400 landed on Plymouth Rock the leader
of the smart set, Mrs. Won Tweedledum,
gave full-dress ball.
My great-grandfather looked in at the
ull.dress ball and was so shocked that
h went and opened clothing store next
day.
Society never forgave him for this in
situation.

doings of these society dubs are chron-
icled in the society papersI

That's what is called reciprocity, be-
cause it works both ways against the

Isn't it the limit the way people from
all over the country will rush to these
fashionable summer resorts with wide
open pocketbooks and with their bank
accounts frothing at the mouth!
The most popular fad at every sum.
mer resort I've ever climbed into is to
watch the landlord reaching out for the
coin.
Husbands make bets with their wives
whether the landlord of the hotel will get
all their money in an hour or an hour
and half.
Both husband and wife loose; because
the landlord generally gets it in ten
minutes.
AT some of the hotel dining rooms it
costs six dollars to peep in, eight dol
lars to walk in and fifteen dollars to get
near enough to waiter to talk soup.
You can see lots of swell guys in the
dining rooms who are now using fork
in public for the first time.
This reminds me of an experience
had in certain summer resort dining
room not long ago.
At table near me sat Ike Goose
heimer.
Ike is a selfmade man, and he made
quick job of it.
Ike was eating with his knife and
doing it SO recklessly that felt like
yelling for the sticking plaster.
