presents. Moore put gold watches into
the pockets of casually encountered
Johnnies, adjusted fine necklaces over
the heads of pretty chorus girls and
of women he never had seen before
Then he order champagne for every

Moore's crazy generosity became

stantly multiplied their hospitality
People had champagne that night who
never had it before, and they had lots
Of it. 1t was big night.
Moore rented apartments for which
he paid $4,000 per year, modest sum
for him. But, as he said, he believed
in keeping the expense for necessities
within reasonable bounds. While
Moore was making his conquest Of
Broadway he spent on an average Of
500 a night for champagne alone. He
had his cigars made specially for him,
and he paid small fortune to a florist
to create a freak flower so that no one
else in the world could have a bouton-
Mere like his.
At his bankruptcy hearing Moore
told the court of his marriage. "One
afternoon" he said, Il awakened in my
apartments and found a woman sit
ting by the window with an air Of one
who owned the place. What's your
Nance asked her. Mrs. Moore, she
said, without batting an eye. Who are
you?' / demanded. Your wife, Of
course she answered. And do you
know, she really was my wife. She
proved to me that I'd married her the
night before"
Moore didn't remember anything
about the wedding, but the ceremony
had been performed legally enough.
His wife was a rather pretty woman

who was willing to contract marital
obligations as Mrs. Moore. Her obli-
cations, in this case, were to help her
husband spend his money. She prov
ed herself a capable companion and
assistant.
One Of the most picturesque of the
Broadway money dispensers was
Prince Hunvah Of Korea. The prince.
who had been good boy at home, was
permitted by his amiable parent, the
potentate, to come to the United States
for a vacation. The young mans
father thought $4,000 an ample allow
ance for a princes sojourn In New
York Perhaps the royal youth
thought so, too, at first, but it was only
a few weeks before he was trying to
levy against the honorable exchequer
for additional funds.
The princes activities were not con-
fined entirely to Broadway, although
he undoubtedly learned some new
wrinkles in the money spending game
along the Great White way. The first
thing his royal highness did upon hit
ting town was to invade tailor shop
and order clothes. He bought him.
self eighty-nine suits in various pat
terms and designs. These he had sent
to his apartments. He wore a diner-
ent costume for every few hours he
remained in this country. He pur-
chased waistcoats, hats and cravats to
match, and dozens and dozens OF each.
He rigged himself out like shop WIN
dow and sailed forth to get acquainted
with the town. He found any number
of citizens who had the willingness and
the leisure to play with him, so long as
he paid his bills.
Some of the most noteworthy cpl
sodes Of his short career here occurred
at Coney Island. The simple mind or
the Korean delighted in the ultra
civilized" pastimes to be enjoyed there.
He was so naively happy with his new
playground that he wished to share his
joys with every one. He ran through
his money with true Oriental careless
ness and then his parent sent for him
TO come home. The results OF the
princes little outing in New York were
not so serious as many others have
been. for the reason that his cruel
father called a halt.
AS it has been hinted before. the
lady's face on the dollar should always
be shown conspicuously, for, as a SYM
Dol, it means everything on Broadway.
A sort of silly vanity is the trouble OF
most unruly spenders. They desire TO
be admired Of women and somehow,
they believe that the furious dissipa-
ton of coin will engender that highly
to be wished for result.
Whether a royal good fellow really
excites any emotion other than con-
tempt i'm a woman, good, bad or worse,
is a question which no man is quail
fled to discuss. 1t is only known that
there are always women who will per-
nit and encourage youth to spehd
money. Most of the fortunes when
have been squandered on Broadway
have been squandered for some woman
or women.-New York Press
