SEPTEMBER MORNS"
ON ROCKAWAY BEACH
Policeman, Called by Cottagers,
Finds Two Girls 0isrobing
in Automobile.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-An automo-
bile is not 4 bath house. according 10
the Interpretation OF Police Captain
Coleman, of RoCkaway Beach, and he
has his men out preventing persons
from undressing in automobiles
Two men were keeping their faces
toward the wild waves at Rock away
Park while two young women disrobed
in the automobile in which the four
had arrived when the police interfered.
Tenants in the nearest cottages could
plainly see that one OF the young wo-
men was plump and her shoulders and
arms were white and firm. The other
was taller and of stately build. so per-
fectly statuesque that the cottage COL
Ony observed that she had found cor
sets unnecessary.
They were almost entirely dIsrobed
phoned protests from the residents,
sped UP on a motorcycle, shouting:
Hi. there; you can't undress here /;
stop that"
plump one, shielding aforesaid white
and plump shoulders with a skirt.
mo, I'm a cop" he replied; but
you'll have to rent a bath house"
Then the policeman Joined the two
men in keeping their eyes strictly on the
wild waves while the young women put
on few garments.
1t was understood that most of the
protests came from wives who were un-
able TO induce their husbands to leave
the front porChes, even at meal time.
1T certainly has been some show
down there" said Captain Coleman.
The disrobing scene in 'ZaZa' had
nothing on it. And, they tell me that
the women folks who ride in automo-
biles usually make the most interesting
subjects for such scenes. Why. there's
a fellow down here who has made q
small fortune selling opera glasses and
telescopes in the cottages and hotels at
RCCkGway Park"

TITLED SPENDER
ACCUSED OF THEFT
Police Represent That Gems
Worth $4,000 Have Been
Found in PaWnShops.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 25.-Harry y
Simonin, who claims to be a baron. and
whose lavish spending OF a $4,000 patrl-
mony in one year won him certain po-
sition Of mark in Newport, Atlantic
City, and other watering places, has
been arrested here on a charge OF a =
Ceny.
The baron is accused of Tobbing his
oldest friend Paul Oliver. one of the
leading business men of Philadelphia,
who befriended Simonin and took him
into his own home after the latter had
spent the last of his fathers fortune.
The Olivers allowed their friend the
complete freedom of their houses at
Chelsea and at Philadelphia. When
they went to the Chelesa cottage he
went with them.
Jewels Worth $1,000 Gone.
A week ago he departed suddenly on
a trip. A few days later Mr.. Oliver
visited his town house in Philadelphia
and discovered that about 5000 worth
of mis- Wife's jewelry mad been taken.
The police, learned, they say, that
Simonin had visited the house. They
soon picked up his trail and located
much of the jewelry in pawnshops.
He was traced to this city. When
his apartments were searched, the pO-
lice found many pawntickets for gems
They believe that many Of the tickets
are evidence of other robberies perpe-
trated by Simonin upon society people
with whom he managed to ingratiate
himself. The total value Of the jewels
represented by the pawn records is es-
Iimated at $4,000.
Dropped Title of Baron.
Several years ago, Simonin went
abroad. and later announced that he
had found that he came of a distant
distinguished lineage, and that he was
related to nobility. He cabled home
for money, and his mother sent il 10
him with the caution that when 1t was
exhausted he should take the first &Lip
home.
He spent all but his passage money
and then came back and said that he
was indeed a baron" but later he
dropped the title. At the clubs of his
friends in Philadelphia he cut quite a
swath. He has been widely entertained
by society, but was never quite able to
reach the circle which he strove to
enter.

II ORTUNATELY for the child start

knowledge.
After it has mastered the founda-
ton, and reached, alas, the precocious
age when it has also mastered its par
ents, there are many branches on the
path to learning, and the studies are
as numerous and varied as the de-
sires of the most capricious student.
If the child is a boy he has no desire
! for any of the superficial trimmings.
1t is hard enough, he argues, to learn
what one really needs and get
through. Why add a lot of foolish ex-
tras a fellow never needs in earning
| his living?
With the girl it is different. and it
is the girl we are interested in in this
article. We will call her Angelica. that
being the sort OF a name she would
| have given herself at this stage Of her
! life had she been in position to do her
own christening.
Angelica knows a little spelling. She
does not murder the Kings English in
tine shameless manner of q law -defying
! highwayman, though she frequently
and unwittingly stabs him to death in
some unfrequented alley of speech. She
knows the capitals of most of the
states, and at one time knew how to
order paper for q room with the wall
thrown in.
! She has begun to wear her hair high
er and her skirts lower at this period
of her brain development, and with the
knowledge that she is no longer a child
comes the desire to add a few foolish
mental trimmings Her parents, blind
| ly proud, give her the reins, and the
result is a smattering of what they
proudly call accomplishments that
drain the fathers purse and strain the
| friendship of all who know the family.
She takes just enough lessons in in
| strumental music to become a nuisance.
! She studies singing just long enough
to confirm her opinion that she has a
voice. She paints just enough to per-
petrate results that are most hideous,
and she carves, pounds brass, burns
WOOD ana emDrOluerS, ana attempts the
thousand and one kinds of foolishness
that at their best are usually only
mediocre, and daughters work
adorns the house from the parlor to
the dining room cabinet and overfiows

| And all at a cost of one single line
Of instruction in which she might have

she might have earned her living.
