THE sTREEr-coRNER GIRL
Her Uneonsidered Act. shut Her Out

Her Unconsfdered Acts Shut Her Out
from Social Advancement.
Horace Wendall, the well-known
banker. was on his way to the office of
DR.. Richards. the even better-known
physician. It was half past 2 in the
afternon-an utterly impossible hour,
as he had informed the physician; but
DR.. Richards had quietly said it was
the only hour at which he could give
him treatment, and had added that the
walk from the bankers Office to his
own was part Of the treatment; and
Mr.. Wendall had yielded. as people al
ways did with DR.. Richards.
He walked briskly. to lose as little
time as possible. yet even so he smiled
sympathetically at group on the cor
ner OF Bellevue avenue pretty,
bright-faced schoolgirl with two high
school cadets. The girl made him think
OF Jessica, his own little niece, and
adopted daughter, who was the apple
of his eye.
The next day, half-unconsicously he
looked up as he reached the corner.
The pretty schoolgirl was there again,
this time with three boys; they had
the air OF having fingered for some
time; and this Afternoon Mr.. Wendall
did not smile.
During the next three weeks there
was scarcely school-day that the
girl was not standing upon the corner
with one or more boys. Once she
reached up and saucily boxed the ears
OF one Of the, boys; once, man, pass
Ing, glanced insolently TAT her. The
banker. still thinking Of his little Jes
sica, wondered gravely IL the girl had
no mother.
It was the next night that Jessica
brought home schoolmate to dinner

Carolyn Edison, her brightness, her
popularity, her generosity Uncle
Horace always wanted to meet her
friends. AS for the girls. they were
always delighted with him. But this
evening things seemed to go wrong

PROCESSION OF FAT ONES.

X PROCESSION OF FAT ONES.
This is the time Of year when
many American women are suddenly
lost to their friends, and are to be
found wrestling with fat in Marien-
bad. The procession is now on, and
1t grows steadily year after year.
Women flock to the Marlenbad
springs from every country in Europe,
but the American woman is In the
majority of any nation. There are so
cial leaders among us who are not az
.svelte as their pictures make them
out The photographing Of society
women, in any event, Is fraud that
harms nobody. There are many ways
Of trucking the camera. as, for in.
stance, the American women when
they have finished the Marlenbad
treatment, will lay In stock Of pho
tographs SUFFICIENT to last out a year.
These women go to Mariepbad fat
and come away fairly presentable.
And no sooner have they left the
springs than they begin again their
hearty eating, careless drinking and
fatgiying life Of general incidence.
IA little exercise every day would
make the Marienbad expedition un.
necessary. but catch the comfort-lov-
ing spoiled pet OF society doing that.
