that Mrs. Proctor on several occa,
sions went horseback riding in the
moonlight with Matt Hasbrouck, an
other weekend visitor and did not
return to the house until midnight.

young French woman, presented him
with gold belt.

There were three stages to this form
Of insanity, the specialist said-when
a man is depressed. when he is clated
and when he is normal.
Fassett seemed to be normal when
he was spending money, Of which he
believed he had an inexhaustible sup
ply. He was most elated when riding
about in taxicab, for which he spent
$905 from August to October last. He
also was most liberal Upper. hay-

thing about Fassett's case was that.
although he spent much money at
Jacks, at Churchill's and in other
places about town, nobody seems to
have observed him drinking anything
stronger than ginger ale.

Fassett said he had just cleaned UP

a contract which he expected to net
him $1,000,OO0. y
Clifford Foelger, owner OF the Sea
Cliff inn, told OF the $50 tips to wait
resses. One Of tho young women gave
the money, to Mr.. Foelger, who re-
turned 1t to Fassett. Fassett's enthu-
siasm over the Nantucket baseball
team also was an excuse for handling
out gifts. which included 500 to the
pitcher for winning the game. Fas-
sett did not keep his promise to stop
when he got back to New York.

business sense to prompt it to keep

course some of us may not see the

tunately have to accept the viewpoint
Of the owner Of the particular bust
ness and my experience is that many
of them regard civic conditions Of a
city In which they might figure on
locating in about the same way this
New Englander did"
1t Is a fact that we must face that

taticn Business cannot be done
cheaply in a city where the streets
arc not we'll paved, or not paved a

principal that good roads and good

Ugion, education and good morals.
