TITLED women NOW
SEEKING BOARDERS
However, They Are Referred to as
Paying Guests"
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
cant signs of the times is the number
OF titled women who are taking
hoarders because they are hard UP
They are advertising for them, too.
but they do not call them "boarders."
They refer to them as paying
guests'--a term which, II Is said. has
not yet obtained currency in America
There is no real difference between
''boarders'' and paying guests" ex-
cept that the latter are charged more.
Boarders are regarded as quite vul-
gar. while paying guests are assumed
TO be people Of some social position.
Wide Circle of Titled People
One titled lady advertises that she
has a wide circle of titled people
among her friends and acquaintances
to whom she will introduce paying
guests" and that nobody will know
they are not her own particular
friends. 1t is added in the advertise
ment that liberal terms" are Tex
pected.'
"A lady of title runs another .ad-
vertisement." will accept the chaper-
onage of a few young ladies of good
breeding for whom she will guaran-
tee Exceptional social advantages
and will organize dances. parties and
"Highly Recommended Guests"
Another advertisement runs, "A
lady of title who used to entertain on
a lavish scale before the war but is
no longer able to indulge her fond
ness for hospitality on such a gener-
Gus scale as formerly, will receive
some highly recommended paying
guests at large and magnificently fur
nished ancestral mansion standing IN
midst of beautiful and extensive es-
tate. Only people who have been &C
customed to moving in the best society
will be received"
That is one way of limiting that the
rates charged will be considerably
more than at first class hotel.
One advertisement that appeared
recently read: "A few American young
ladies' whose parents can appreciate
value of a refined and cultivated Eng
ish accent received as paying guests

portment of people who move in the

George U, Cunningham, Respect

(By Frances Scott Cliff

George U. Cunningham, aged
81 years, quietly passed over to
the other shore during the early
hours of Saturday, July IA, after
a residence of year and half
at Ellisport, during which time he
gained the respect and esteem Of
all who became acquainted with
him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham, with
her aged mother, Mrs. Dermott
came here from Oregon, hoping
that the climate and quiet of the
island would restore Mr.. Cunning
ham s health, which had been i'm
paired after a strenuous service
of over 80 years with the North
ern Pacific railway company. He
was apparently gaining in health
and was so pleased with the en-
vironment at Ellisport that they
purchased a home and determined
to remain here permanently. Up
to the evening before his death he
went about his usual avocations
with the friends he had made since
coming here, and retired at night
with no apparent premonition of
the coming Of the silent messenger
who called him before he was
awakened to another day.
About 4 100 O'Clock in the morn
ing Mrs. Cunningham was aroused
by his heavy breathing, and when
she could not arouse him, called
DR.. MacMurray, but he was be-
yond human aid and passed away
without regaining consciousness at
about 1000 o'clock.
