A WATERS carrier

George was water-a peach of waiter
He always brought what you ordered when you
were ready for it. The napkin over his forearm
was always clean He never stuck his finger in
the soup.
His interested but impersonal dizziness won
him many tip from some of New York's most
notorious closefists
Little did these tippers know they were press
ing dime quarter into the hand of the
greatest hotel man of his day.
For George, we have said, was good waiter
Had he been poor waiter he probably wouldn't
have been good for much at anything
Being such good waiter, he didn't remain
waiter long. Instead, he went to Texas-a young
beardess boy OF IL or so, only few years over
from his island home somewhere off East Prussia.
There he failed in chicken farm. But remem-
Der, he had been success as waiter. He next
tried being cowboy. He became judge of fine
horses But knowledge he had picked up as a
waiter kept calling. He went back east and be-
came steward of the exclusive Clover club in
Philadelphia
He was good steward-a peach of steward.
Influential Glover club members backed him
in the purchase of large hotel
Some OF these same Influential members, and
many other big men who had become his friends
in later years. sent wreaths of flowers and tele-
grams of coincidence to be read at his funeral the
other day.
His wealth was estimated at $30,OOO,00O; great
university had benefited by his generosity in
building dormitories; but, most important of ALL
the hotels of a continent and of some European
cities had initiated his first New York venture
and the world admitted he had exerted greater
Influence than any other man in developing the
modern hotel as a place of comfort instead of a
collection of rooms and beds-a civic institution
instead OF place to stay over night
he was George 9. Boldt, proprietor Of the
WaldOrf-AstOria, New York.

qualification.
This reaction to the modern cry
for greater freedom In love and
marriage" does not look as IL 1t
portended the destruction of the
home.
Our divorce records grow be-
cause 1t takes long time for any
idea, good or evil, to seep through
every stratum of society.
But the shifting. drifting men
and women who fill the divorce
courts have much less effect upon
the morals of society than they are
credited with. They seem impor-
tant only because they are con-
spicuous. As a rule they have
neither place nor power in a COM
munity-except to spoil the CEN
sus returns!
The ambitious, self-respecting
just-average citizen wants some
thing quite different. He wants to
build a monument to his own pros
perity, and whether he stops to
think of 1t so or not, he is work.

"Going Through Bisbee
 Shops 1 Noticed That :"

One of the handsomest evening gowns of the season is being display ed at the Phelps Dodge store. Flesh Georgette composes the lining and underdraperies. while the overskirt is of metallic embroidered net. Be- tween the rows of silver embroidery there are rows of Opalescents. The bodice is festoOned with ropes of pearls and the skirt which is in two tiers. is festooned with strands of pearls. The gown is unusual in the sense that rarely are materials en- broidered in metal threads and seq uined also. The gown has the daint fest shade of flesh imaginable and the creamy color of the pearls harmoniz- ing perfectly.
 Many smart slippers of this season are plain satin. toDped with crown shaped buckles of rhinestOnes.
 The evening slipper will be buckled this season. and the boot beaded.
 Of all the ghosts and goblins, queer corn cob and spider Jack Homer pies created to make jolly times on Hal lowe'en. none can quite compare with the quaint and decorative figures that the Reynolds shop is showing.
 Orders for three piece suits of satin and velvet have been keeping up with the orders for afternoon dresses.
 The evening hats are of chiffon. msline. or metal lace. and instead of a brown. inch wide ribbons cross tine head. and in this way show the hair of the pretty wearer and also holds the hat on.
 The black wells have pretty castor gray yarn crocheted designs.
 Hats that turn up directly away from the face are rapidly gaining fav- or and are ever so much prettier when the wearer uses a soft fur or marabOu stole.
 Youth and slimness are we'll array ed in a costume of far reaching poe kets and expansive collars and cuffs of fur
 Aigrettes are now in use again. An evening hat used one slightly slanted upward in the front, and opposite was one that rested on the brim of the transparent hat.
