From time immemorial every mar

people have parted company they have

It's distinctly different, as a cigaret
town crier might declare.
Of course you all know the novel,
as precious a It'd bit of poetry as ever
was written in prose. And the selI
deluded poet, father of the eight per
feet daughters, has lost nothing IN
translation. Frank LalOr is the poet
who is all for art, besides which
nothing exists, nothing.
The girls you remember, are OF sucn
innocence that the new born calf is
blase in comparison. They are so
close to nature, by their fathers dlrec-
tiOn, that they wear pink paJamas, ana
wander around in the lush, green
grass like the lambkins. Well, then
the poet trades his House BeautlIul
for a great city home and comes 10
New York to live.
His daughters are to marry cublsL
painter, a cubist sculptor and cuoist
poet, three of them, while the rest are
reserved for worst fates. But the
cubist trio are doomed to disappoint-
ment, for the eight daughters chance
upon some real men, who do things
and do not talk about them"
Two of the best melodies in the
piece are "AmO," sung by lole in the
first act and IF Dreams Come True
wherein the voices Of four Of the
daughters mingle and the other TOUR
aid with their dancing.

Niece. with some music that charms
and many individual hits.
There are three actresses, however,
worthy Of note. Madelein Seymour IS
a tall, slender, brown haired girl who
shows a most interesting brand Of
British composure. Emmy Whelen is
the daughter of a general, in love with
a moving picture actor, and appears
well in the disguise Of a boy. Mary
Robson is Italian in character and
accent although really English. All

construction had not yet set IN, ana

Becomes Associated With AstOr.
About this time he fell in with John
Jacob Aston who took such a liking to
Taylor that he made him his cOn1lden-
tial all-rOund man, Of business, and he
soon became widely known as "Astor
man." He lived at the corner of Broad
way and what was then Morris street.
and there January, 1906 was porn MS
son, Moses Taylor, the Taylor who
built up the great family fortune.
Moses at 10 was apprenticed as
clNrk in a small store on broadway
but was soon transferred to the great
mercantile house Of G. & S. Rowland,
and there the boys strictest attention
to the Smallest detail of the business
soon made him an Indispensable factor
in the concern.
From his small earnings he contrib
uted his share to support his parents,
and in addition laid aside a small sum
weekly, so that at "a he had saved
enough money to start out as broker
of Cuban sugar on Broadway. For a
time the outlook was gloomy, but
Moses stuck and business became pros
porous. When the cholera epidemic
swept over the city, carrying off thou
sands, trade was stagnant commerce
languished and the bIighting visitation
brought business to q standstill.
Just as business was again revived
and Moses had won the confidence of
the business men, his place was swept
away by fire. Everything was de-
strOyed except the books in which he
mad entered his transactions But
few days later he opened again for
business in q little frame structure a
few doors lower down on the street.

His confidence of himself begat the
confidence of the public When he had
accumulated several thousand dollars,
he invested in vessels plying in the
West Indian trade and soon he was
owner Of several In 1855 he was
elected president Of the City Bank.
When the Civil war broke out his
warm support Of the government
gained for him the confidence of pres
ident Lincoln to such an extent that
he was offered the secretaryship of
the treasury, which, however. he de-
clined.
He had great faith in the Delaware,
L0ckawanna and Western railroad,
buying its shares at IS each, which, IN
seven years were worth $500 a share;
so that at the time of his death he had
become the virtual owner Of the rail-
road.
He was associated with commodore
Vanderbilt in many enterprises and
was one of the five men who formed
the company to lay the Atlantic cable
When he died, in 1882 his fortune
was $36.O00,000.
