Just before Christmas, one of the Dem

New York.-How Pastor Wagner's

peep inside the Waldorf-Astoria when
the two pretty Stallo girls are there!
The simple life at this caravansary

mind you, the two young sisters. 16
and 10. are the richest girls in their
own right in all Cincinnati.
What's more, some day they will
own a big slice of the Standard Oil
company. somthing like $15,00O,0O0
worth.
These two charming young girls.
despite their great wealth. live accord
dng to rule. They rise by rule, eat by
sule, study by rule. play by rule and
retire by rule. Every moment of their
time is regulated with the nicely OF
clockwork.
In word, they are being brought
up with the idea that great wealth
brings great responsibilities. even for
young women. And all their work and
play is directed along these lines.
These two girls-each one a picture
OF health and beauty-are the daugh-
ters OF Edmund X. Stallo, Laura and
Helena. Their own mother Is dead
They are the wards of their grandpa
ther. Alexander Mcdonald, a director
in the parent Standard Oil company
and president of the Standard Oil
company OF Kentucky. He is Cincin-
MATHS richest citizen, though he is as
much in New York, at the Waldorf.As-
toria. as he is out there.
Early Left Motherlesa
Mr.. McDonald's wife, the young
girls grandmother. died three years
ago. Their mother. Mrs. Stallo. only
child OF the McDonalds. died when
Helena was two years old. And now
these two beautiful grandchildren are
all that rich Mr.. Mcdonald has left,
and all his wealth will go to them,
share and share alike. They have al
ready inherited from their grandmoth-
er a million apiece. 1t is only 1.-THE
OF what Is to come from. their grand.
father, who is their legal guardian by
order OF the New York courts.
Miss Laura is 16 years old, and Miss
Helena is just 10. Both are beautiful
brunettes, well-built, with rosy cheeks
and flashing eyes and wealth OF
dark, wavy hair. Their governess
lays all OF this to their simple mode
OF life.
Not that everything that money
can buy is not theirs. They have
horses and autos and pianos. They
travel In Europe or In the new wo. Id
every summer In the most luxurious
manner. They are In New York, as
they have been recently. several times
a year and a rich suite In the Waldorf.
Astoria Is always reserved for them.
For here, as in Cincinnati. they must
lead the simple life, says the New
York World.
For them 1t is bedtime always at
nine p. m. They rise to the moment
at seven a. m, ant breakfast is served
on the dot at eight. No late hours. no
parties, no theaters, no cards, no
dances, no little club affairs on their
daily schedule.
No play?
Why. certainly, but OF the healthy
outdoor kind. They ride and they
drive and they run their automobiles
when their lessons are done.

Breakfast over, their morning hours
are devoted to study and to recitation.
The governess instructs them in
everything they are to know in a gen.
eral way, and there are special teach
ers who come daily for music and the
languages.
1t delights their grandfather that
both his wards are SO musical. Both
play the piano with ease and finished
technique. and both show more than
the average talent. They are at home
equally we'll with guitar and mandolin,
and their duets are joy to the old
mans big heart.
Their course of study is Just what
any girl in a public school would be
expected to take. The list Is laid
down and adhered to rigidly, whether
the girls like 1t or not.
Especially is attention given to the
languages. The girls have been sent
to Italy to study Italian under native
teachers. They have learned French
in Paris and German in Berlin and
Munich. This plan of learning the
foreign languages on their native
heaths has proved highly successful.
Miss Laura and Miss Helena speak
the three tongues fiuently and with
the most fascinating of accents.
Though they speak so well they keep
up the three languages regularly by
reading books laid down in their reg
ular curriculum.
Not Vet Ready for Society.
I'VE don't pamper our girls in the
slightest" said their governess, proud

society nor will they be allowed to do

The governess didn't say it, but

beautiful suburban home in Clifton,

And in this Mr.. Mcdonald INDUCES
them to the fullest extent. They have

they toured Mexico.
When his wife died Mr.. Stallo
turned his two tiny girls over to their
grandparents. They grew into young
womanhood knowing Mrs. Mcdonald
as their mother. When she died here
at the Waldorf-Astoria three years ago
1t seemed as II her place could never
