Carmichael Meet Manicure Girl
And Buys Her $500 Worth
OF Dresses
PAYS FOR Is NEW SUITS
Had $4,000 In Wallet And
Two Grips Full Of Cash-He
Takes Chauffeur Abroad.


This is the true story of A. w.
Carmichael, of New York and Lon
don; how he came to the Piedmont
hotel with two grips full of money,
made a manicure girl happy with
$500 worth of clothes and a diamond
ring and a pearl necklace, so she
could honor him at luncheon; took
a fancy to a young chauffeur and
carried him off for a trip over Euro
peaQ roads
Yes, it reads like a fake, and the
who turned it in was adviS-
ed to take another nap and forget
it. Then he got mad and proved 1t
by witnesses good and true If you
don't believe it go ask the persons
involved-there is quite a bunch OF
them. For Carmichael made Death
Valley Scottys free spending look
like doing circus day on twenty
cents.
This young Mr. Carmichael ar
rived on February IS at the Pied
mont and registered from New York.
He was a rather good-loOking fellow
one of the telephone girls called
him a real pretty man"-about Is
years of age and as pleasant as you
please. He was given one of the
best rooms in the house, but it didn't
meet his desires.
Give me a whole floor" he re-
marked to the clerk. The pay will
ba all right" But he compromised
on a suite of four rooms, tho he
had little to put in them beyond
his hand baggage.
HE MEETS THE GIRL
When Mr.. Carmichael had re-
freshed himself he fancied his nails
needed attention and dropped into
the manicure parlors in the base
ment. And there, at one OF the
tables, sat Louise Whittimore. Mr..
Carmichael looked no further
Miss Whittimore took the little
orange wood stick and smoothed her
customers fingers into shape. When
she looked up he was looking at her
hard:
How'd you like to take luncheon
with me?" he asded. It's an invita-
ton not unknown to manicure girls
and it didn't rattle this one out of
her seat, She looked Mr.. Carmich-
ael over and remarked:
Sure"
Carmichael took another look at
his guest-to-be and carefully and
tactfully inquired what she intended
to wear. The manicure lady re-
marked that her present outfit was
her limit.
$500 FOR CLOTHES
Wen fix that right now" quoth
her host. Go get some real clothes
and meet me- Then he extracted
a large-sized roll from an inner
pocket and peeled off five 100-dollar
bills. Miss Whittimore recovered in
a moment, demurred another mo-
grabbed the currency
The next day she told her lady
friends in the manicure shop:
You ought to come out to my
house in Capitol-ave and have a
look. Oh, girls, I've got more swell
clothes than Blanche Ring ever
dreamed of, and she's some dresser"
And that wasn't all, as the old
ladies at the sewing circle say. When
Miss Whittimore showed up for the
luncheon Carmichael appeared peev-
ed at her lack of jewelry, so he took
her down to Marie & Berkeles and
bought her a diamond ring and
pearl necklace. She
wore them at the luncheon.
She never went back to trimming
other folks finger nails, but she did
stroll into the shop every afternoon
for a week and the girls declare she
wore different dress every time.
and each one was more gorgeous
