New York. June At has been a,
exciting week for the average New
Yorker. Not only has he had his owr
affairs to take up his attention, bur
he has also grown cross-eyed in tn,
attempt to keep track Of young Ma
thilde Mccormick and her ever-chang,

more nerved up over these shifting
arrangements than the Gothamite, un.

of the young woman. With interested
gaze he saw her baggage sent to the
Cunard pier.
And when it came time for the ship
to sail he was on fine dock-some 300

he saw the Mccormick baggage yanked
off the boat at the last minute and
learned with no less shocked ears that

Mathilde's trunks are still in the
Mccormick suite at the Plaza. The
average New Yorker is still looking in
that direction and listening hard for
any breath of rumor. 1t all goes to
prove once more what a simple. child
like heart the average New Yorker

Grown f~olks-they of the child like
hearts-got as much fun from watch |

who waded therein. But it wasn't so
funny to learn a little later that many |
apartments above the seventh floor
must get their water supply in pals
from some lower level. Here, indeed,
