No man or woman Indigenous to our Uttle tsland can posstbly achteve the amount of civic pride essential to the typical New Yorker, ne in Keokuk, But perhaps it ts not altogether fair to hold up the Lenten Looking Glass to & person who adds so much to the nolse and the renown of our city. Tt may be, however, that we can eub- stitute it for one of the panel mirrors in his favorite restaurant. And seated there, facing the self-made siren who 1s usually his guest at supper after the theatre, he can take @ long and salutary look at himself while bis com- Panion takes out her powder puff and Up stick and repairs the ravages of a three hours’ session at a weepy play. HE WILL SEE WHY HE CHOSE HIS SIREN. First of all he will realize that ho has chosen his companion because of the flattering sense of. superiority with which she fille him. “My opinion of Bernard Shaw,” he remarks solemnly, “is that the man ts | not sincere.” The siren, who has never heard this tea table platitude before, looks pro- foundly impressed. “How clever of you to think of that!" exclaims Mrs, Tommy Tucker-who- Gushes-for-Her Supper. “Where do you get all these wonderful {deas, anyhow? My, I wish I had your brain.” From the acclivity of his mountain- ous intellect the typical New Yorker looks down with an approving smile. ‘This 1s the real functloneof woman—to inspire and to appreciate great minds. Tf only the Lenten Looking Glass could reveal to the male egotist how completely he is the catspaw of any attractive woman who takes the trouble to fatter him! Mo trained bear that sits on @ barrel and drains « bottle full of syrup is more the tool and victim of an ex- ploiter than he, So long as the siren looks the other way, so long as the lure and the flatter are for other men, he appreciates the sham. I know a man, a “typical New rker’ from the W who for two years drove the shafts of « ruthless and scathing wit against a pretty woman Whose poses and affectations made her a Ikely victim for satire, Then one day the siren needed him— wanted him to do her a favor—and turned the full artillery of her charms in his direction, Immediately the satire hat into the ring and. pro- the Queen of Love and Beauty, and since then has been de- jfending her title against all comers, | Such {3 the fate of many men—par- ticularly homely men.

Henry once prosecuted a futile search for a “man According to the Henry story, though everybody had spoken of or heard of this mythical per- sonage, no one could define him or find him. It 1s otherwise with the “typical New Yorker,” who is to be met wherever bluff meets bluff in cafe or theatre lobby or all-night restaurant. Now the “typical New Yorker” must not be con- founded with Mr. Knickerbocker, for Mr. Knickerbocker {s born in New York City and his father and grand- here or hereabouts. The “typical New Yorker” is born everywhere but! he believes he typifies. Ohio furnishes | tremendous representation too, lah may show the typloal New Yorker an- other picture, It may open the swing- {ng doors of his chosen cafe and show him at his favorite game of Blind Man’ Bluff, For tt takes a blind man to b Heve the bluffs that made when “typical New Yorkers" get together, “E helped Morgan put through » big deal to-aa: says the curb Lobresd ordering another high ball. bought snotuer machine, jerahardt her frst ashroom theatrical man explains, “and {t was by my ad- vice that Maud Adams went on the stage, ‘Maudie’ I says to her"—— “Z remember when I was city editor of the Kalamasoo Mead- Ught,” begins the newspaper man. “Yes, that was my fret job, It @idn't pay very much, of course, only $100, but I was twenty-four and $100 looked like @ lot of money to me then.” Bluff, Bluff, Bluff, while the pattent bartender hands out more fuel.

MAKES ODD TANGLE. Part of Estate Signed Over to Her Husband, Who Is Administrator. M. Helen Nicol Lawson Furlong, wife of former Magistrate Henry J. Furlong of Brooklyn, who was indicted and sent to Sing Sing for accepting a bribe of $16.66, died on Aug. 14, 190, at her Rockaway B jummer home, It belleved that she left no will, and the husband took out letters of admin- fetration, Lowest estimates set the Value of the estate at $0,000, Some Placed it much higher. After @ search of two years and a half Mra, Furlong's will has been found among the dusty papers of a dead | Glasgow attorney. Her four children) and hef sister-in-law, Mrs, Ada Caroline Verachoyle, are the sole beneficiaries, The husband gots nothing. Furlong told the Queens County Sur- rogate that some of the property held by his wife was bis. The four children waived requiring a bond of him, and it is said that as yet there has been no Gistribution of the property. Furlong Bot his letters of administration three weeks before he was indicted. He was sent to Sing Sing for two years and served about a year of his sentence. ‘The will was found in the offices of McLean, Baird & Nellson, The ev. James Kerr, Robert Thomas Nellson of the firm, and William Patrick of the Caledonian Railway, were named as executors, The will directed that the executors care for the estate until her youngest child was twenty-one, at which time the property was to be divided. Mrs, Ver- schoyle was left a certain income. Since Mrs. Furlong’s death the estate | has beon materially reduced. Several properties have been either sold or fore- closed. Furlong’s son and one daugh- ter signed over to him their interest in some Harlem property and Furlong deeded this to Martin T. Manton, one of the attorneys who defended him when he was convicted. Manton is now plain- uff in @ suit to partition the property, It se expected that Mrs, Verschoylo will file the will, which will mean that Furlong will have to make an account- ‘ng and may have to prove, if he wishes to retain eny part of the estate, that his wife was acting as trustee for some of his property. —_——_ “| DON’T CARE,” SAYS BOY EMBEZZLER WHI WHEN TAKEN.
