In quiet corner of the attractively
appointed cafe of the Hotel Hillman,
where waving palms, trailing ferns and
fragrant flowers form charming back
ground to the handsomely arranged
rooms, a prominent man of affairs was
saying at the luncheon hour a few
days ago to a young civil engineer;
ITS a big idea and there's thou
sands in it."
"Sh-h-h-h," interrupted his vis-avis,
his bright face lighting up with a
flooding wave of old memories Listen;
do you hear that music? That Spanish
Barcarolle? The last time I heard it
was driving tunnel through the
Pyrenees. The violinist plays it with
all the charm, grace and abandon of
