ing she is with her crown of gold,
with which she carries the flowers of
royalty, the queen lily.
Little Elizabeth Lindley, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Lindley, is
driving her prettily decorated doll
carriage and at glance it is difficult
to tell which is the doll and which is
the little girl, so pretty is the setting.
Little Jane Luthey, daughter of
Mrs. Mildred Hollis Luthey and grand
daughter of Mrs. Florence Hollis, is
a vision of smiling loneliness in her
splendid equippage of flowers, seat
ed beneath the shade of pink para
sol.
Little Evelyn Horton is a happy RI
val in smiles, for she acknowledges
her happiness by her bright face.
Betty Giddings, in her royal cart
covered with brilliant flowers and
drawn by Mamie Claire Speer is a
bit of dimpled loneliness as she glides
along over the flower strewed path
way of her life.
Vivian Easterlin, holding on her
arm her little brother, Jack. makes
a pretty picture with her carnation
dress and pink hat to match.

Spanish Prison Game Swindler,
Posing as English Cousin, Picks
City Clerk Eldridge as Victim

The old Spanish prison swindle
game is still at work and last week
a victim was sought in Americas in
the person of City Clerk E. J. Ell
bridge, who received from a "cou-
sin" of whom he had never heard
one Edward Eldridge"-incarcerat-
ed in a prison in Spain, a letter of
appeal for protection for his daugh-
ter, aged IA, in return for which he
offered him one-fourth of his fortune
of $1,000 pounds, which he had
secreted. He being in prison, he says,
he communicated with the outside
world through a priest whom Mr.. Ell
bridge is told to address in the quick
reply which is solicited so that he
may aid the priest in whatever way
is necessary for the recovery of his
hidden fortune. The letter is post
marked Madrid. 1t is written in the
most broken English, at times almost
unintelligible, the sender making a
poor representation as a near rela-
tive.
The Spanish prison game is one of
the oldest forms of swindle known.
The writer always addresses some
one unknown, sometimes as a rela-
tive, sometimes as one to whom he
has been referred, but always a per-
son who is believed to be able to
command few thousand dollars.
There is always a hidden fortune, and
once negotiations are opened there
is an appeal for the few thousand
dollars to aid in obtaining this for
