NEW YORK, June 21.-Here is
real, typical story of New York fam
lily life. The Kiddingtons have just
returned from a visit to France. This
morning Mr.. Kiddington said to his
wife:
we had a good time, didn't WEI?
she said that she'd say they had. She
wanted to know when they could go
and do it over again. She mourned
about the cafes of Paris and the night
clubs and the dances at.I especially
about the food.
That's what / wanted to speak
about" said he. The first thing you
must do is take off fifteen pounds"
The string bean silhouette is So
cial necessity.
This morning one of the armored
cars in which the banks transport
money in more or less safety from
the beleaguering bandits passed the
bus on which / rode. The portfolio
through which the defenders are pre-
sumed to fire at the guerrillaS was on
a level with my eyes. One expected
to see the guards sitting in grim si-
lenCc, Clutchtng their guns, ready to
fire.
They were smoking cigarettes and
playing pinochle.
\ pair of namelesS millionaires and
a pair of nameless royalties figure in
this. The millionaire and his wife
began life in a three-room house.
Their success has been something to
be proud of, but it may be admitted
that they do not know the manners
OF courts. They were presented not
long ago TO the unnamed royal pair.
My wife had spent three weeks
learning to drop a curtSy," said the
miIlioned man. When she was ush-
cred into the royal presence she sank
superbly. Her heel caught in the hem
of her skirt and she could not get up.
We goggled at her as she sat on the
floor. The king said:
DO not be annoyed, madame: that
often happens"
The millionaires like kings nova
days.

DRILLING AT KING
TEST PROCEEDING
Use of Rotary Tools Resumed
TOday-Myers Summoned

Driller Alexander and crew
have been hammering away the
past week at the King No. 2,
east of town, with cable tools.
The hard, lime formation vas
passed up yesterday anu with
the change in formation drill
ing will be resumed with the
rotary this friday morning.
Drilling with cable tools has
necessarily been slow, but Mr..
Thurman, presidest of the Co.
lumbus-Hope Oil Co., Is eX-
ercising every possible precau-
tion and had the drillers "feel
their way" through the sandy
formation. The test is now at
depth of about 2175 feet.
With resumption of drilling
with the powerful rotary, the
well should soon be sunk to the
lower Trinity sand, around
23O0 feet, which has only been
reached in this vicinity at the
old Tycap test. There is every
reason to believe that this for
nation will "pay off" when it
can be properly tested. Mr..

all in their power to make a
thorough test of the company's
holdings.
