No. It isn't the dazzlingly beauti-

in the world any more. The most
rigid search fails TO disclose one en-
ployer who admits that he would
hire a girl OF the vamp type. "She can

of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Millenbach,
Eighth avenue south, city, was drown

to the people of the city and caused
widespread reign of sorrow. He had
hosts of friends and was we'll liked.
The story of witnesses is that after
the horses had been given a soap,
lathering they were ridden into the
river to wash off the lather. Mr. Mil

together. Suddenly Millenbach's horse
lunged forward and caused the rider
TO slide off. Millenbach in sliding into
the water caught Mr.. Zeaman and
pulled him off his horse. As Millen-

jumped into the water to give aid, but
