WHAT THE KIDS THINK
81 PERCY HAMMOND.


O. MANhAoSEI, L. l., June 2O.-Of NJ
Carpenter it may be said that he Is the
most beautiful of pugilists. Ii nice eyes,
white skin, and a pleasing visage can
will be the victor. His very irowns
are fairer than the smiles of Dempsey
are"
Seated on the wide veranda of his sum
mer place. faultlessly dressed in hand
some form fitting forenoon suit, he Is as
grateful a destination to the eye as q
musical comedy BARITONE. As he swung
his shapely leg from table the other
day, gazing wistfully at the rose In his
hand, one rather expected him to burst
into ballad, full of plaintive words and
melodies.
WOMEN CAN'T
HELP ADMIRING.
Being the fairest OF the prize fight
ers, NJ Carpenter, of course, is of eX-
cessive interest to the women of an
gather outside the orchard which sur
rounds his proving grounds for to see
and to admire.

Ne then fawn upon Mr.. Curley, re

without avail, for a whispered word or

NJ. Carpenter, like the characters IN
an English novel, is having tea on the
terrace, and we observe and store IN
our memories, each sip ana each ges-
ture of mastication. NJ. Deschamps, his
manager, who resembles something Mlny

cess of inglutitiOn, and as MS waru
reaches for another biscuit he stops him.

the almost obsolete galluses Of the minor
bOurgeoise. There is something almost
holy in NJ Deschamps' motherly attitude
toward his charge. You instinetiyey re

misbehaved himself and has been guilty
Of the rough conduct which is his habit.
GEORGES FINALLY
MAKES APPEARANCE.
Finally Georges appears on the porch
in a bath robe and starts with Des
champs through the barnyard for the
nearby meadow upon whose hillside the
preparatory arena is pitched. We trail
after him. Discarding his stately
kimOnO. he enters a stable, and there, as
we crowd. breathless. around the door,
he punches a bag. He punches a bag
with graceful ennui. and then performs
gymnastic paraphernalia as are at hand.
He smiles the weary smile of one whose
own Importance wearies him. Perched
on the cross bars Of a telegraph pole
across the road are three young Long
Island Americans. Don't stall. you lousy
frog," one Of them yells. The only
thing you can hit is a bag!
