ZIEGLER, THE
 BOY MILLIONAIRE

There are few of us in this old world who haven't a rich uncle, or
 who have never wished that they had a rich uncle. Rich uncles are mighty handy things to have, 5or rather, have had, especially if they have written into their last will and
 testament those very important words: gro my beloved nephew Bill I bequeath. etc., But most of these
 uncles don't do that. It happens once in while, however, and it hap pened very prominently in the case of William 2iegler,, the "thiry million dollar boy" Not alone did his uncle leave him this vast sum, but adopted him first to make sure he'd get it.
 How is that for dreams coming true To see and know MT. Ziegler you'd
 newer know that he had such a pocket full of money. He is quiet
 and unassuming, and. in fact, you never hear of him unless the papers happen to mention that he is helping another struggling artist to win suc- cess. MT. Ziegler is fond of music and devotes much of his time to it. Today he is at some quiet country place, surrounded by friends cele- brating his twenty-sixth birthday. MT. Zieger is the son of G. W. Brlandt of Davenport, Ia., who was a half brother of the late William ziegler. When the boy was five years old, serious minded child and in i'll health, the baking powder king" adopted him. Under good care the boy grew into a sturdy youth and at one tune intended to go to the Arctic regions with an expedition his foster father was financing. Instead he devoted his attentions to quieter pursuits, especially to music. In 1911 he had the extreme qualification of seeing one of his own musical comedies pro duced. When the elder Ziegler died the fortune was held in trust for him until he was 21. In 1913 MT. Ziegler married Gladys Virginia Watson. of New York. He is an enthusiastic yachtsman-but what's the use or going on. Anybody can be enthusias- tic with $3o,o00,0o0.

 A number of very pretty skirts for summer wear are made of gingham. Some are trimmed with cross-stitch embroidery, especially when the check is small and can be worked over. Others are ornamented with feather-stitching and many of the other old-fashioned forms of hand work. They are extremely pleasing to the eye, however. and suggest obedience to the recommendations of economy made by governmental heads in these times of war.
 The skirt pictured here is of such good lines that it may be fashioned of woo1en materials for wear during the fall.
