Lolita is the little Rirl who was horn lame and never walked a step until Dr. I#orena came from Vienna and worked a miracle with his hands, putting her hip bone In the place where nature had forgot to put it. Now s*he Is well and strong and happy, a beautiful girl of 16. who limps ever ao little, but lives free from pain and full of the joy of youth In the paradise her father has made for her. Rules Father 1 * Farm. And this summer she is particular ly happy. For she 1s a princess, rul ing over her own principality. Both father and mother are in Eu- ; rope, and in their absence she is man aging Melody Farm, the country es tate of the Armours, out on the prairie to the west of Lake Forest. To know what that means you should see Melody Farm. Many a reaJly truly princes! has a far hum bler principality. Moat princesses, too, haven't much to do but wear their coronets. But Miss Lolita has a Job on her hands. To begin with, there’s the house, called by courtesy n “country place.” Her father built It for Lolita because the doctored cured her. It is said $2,000,000 went into the beautiful white marble villa. There are halls and corridors, clean white walks, fountains playing, green things growing, libraries, picture galleries, music rooms and eonserva- ; tones. And Princess Lolita looks after it all and sees that the servants keep everything in order, that the guests are entertained, that the lar der is stocked and the tradesmen are paid. Mansion Built in Swamp. That is but the beginning, for Mr. Armour undertook to build Lolita’s principality out of a swamp. Nearly seven years now scores of workmen have toiled to rear out buildings, walls, terraces, pergolas and pavilions, to dredge sloughs for a winding lake full of islands and swans, to make sunken gardens and flsh ponds, flower gardens, vegetable gardens and greenhouses; to plant shrubs, orchards and forest trees; to build roads, bridges and cottages, and to drain and cultivate 1,000 acres. To-day the most obvious Jobs are but little more than half done, and so there are years of hard work left. All this daily labor and working out of plans is under the eye of the little girl. Joseph Burgess, the su perintendent, manages the men—but he reports to Miss Lolita. She watches th«» green lawns and gardens gaining on the swamp, the flower beds spreading to All the big space within a square of brick walls just risen, the statues and trellises rising triumphantly over places where a year or two ago there were only sludgy sod and mosquitoes. Over the whole* wonderful domain is the warm July sunshine and the clear air of the prairies fragrant with sweet clover.

July 26.—It required three policemen, a quick-witted chauffeur and a taxicab to rescue from a Jeering crowd four young women who ventured into Fifth ave nue dressed in gowns of the latest and most daring Parisian styles. The young women, who, It is said, are models, appeared shortly after noon. Each was bewllderlngly clad, the most striking point of their at tire being skirts daringly slashed above the knee. The slash was in front, too, which gave the skirt a rather startling appearance as the wearer walked. And every skirt was of the “transparent” variety that is calculated to “turn the head” of any man. A crowd quickly collected. Up Fifth avenue from Forty-first to For *Ta-da-da—da-da!

By the time they l)ad reached the library esplanade the girls were badly fright ened and striving to get away from their pursers. At Forty-second street and Fifth avenue the Jam became so great that the fair devotees of fashion were un able to progress. Backed against the wall, they were forced to listen for several moments to remarks of a complimentary-, but embarrassing, na ture from grinning and appreciative spectators.

CORNISH, N. H., July 26.—(There really isn’t any such place as Cor nish. but It makes a good date line.) When President Wilson selected the mythical town of Cornish for the “Summer Capital of the United States” and the Churchill home a* the Hummer White House, he little dreamed that he was getting within striking distance of the moat unique town in the United States. Yes, I know that “most unique” is a phrase condemned by all writers and speakers of good English, but it is the only superlative adjective applicable to the town of Baltimore, Vermont. There la at least one other Balti more In the United States which has gained prominence because of its size and the excellence of its grabs and oysters. Baltimore, Vt., has exactly 22 inhabitants and 12 voters! Also, 1 have It directly from the oldest in habitant of the place that neither of the other Baltimore’s luxuries have ever reached this namesake of the Maryland metropolis. Few Know of Town. So small is the town of Baltimore, Vt., that but a select few in this sec tion of the country know of its ex istence. Shortly after my arrival here I heard rumors of the strangeness of the town from a “foreigner’’ here, who had evinced an interest in the peculiar things in his adopted land. The only man In Windsor, N. H., the town opposite Cornish, who would admit ^hat he bad ever heard of such a place was the oldest inhabitant, Da vis by name, who volunteered to guide me to the smallest town in the Uni ted States, provided 1 would supply the automobile. The road to Baltimore led up the side of a steep mountain and during our accent the patriarch of Windsor regaled me with strange tales of the town which we were approaching. In Vermont, it appears, every town must have a charter. Baltimore obtained its charter in 1786 when there were twenty people in the township—think of It, a cen tury and a quarter, and the population of a town increases only 10 per cent or two persons. Baltimore Holds Back Returns. In this connection, said the oldest inhabitant, an interesting incident oc curred during the 1900 election for President. Vermont was the lari State to file returns of her election in that year. Indeed she was so far be hind the others that many queries were made from Washington as to the reason for the delay. “Baltimore has not yet sent In the returns” came back the reply from Montpelier to each of the questions concerning the reason for Vermont’s tardiness. Fin ally one enterprising New York news paper sent a man up to “discover” Baltimore and to find out why it. had not sent in its election returns. After many hardship he reached the town and put the question to the leading citizen, who replied wdth a tone of surprise: “Waal, you see, we done forgot to vote on the right dav, an’ we’re waitin’ to find out If It’s le gal to vote now.” They have little or no money in Baltimore, practically all the ex change of commodities being done by means of direct trading. The commu nity is practically self-supporting, and the Inhabitants make their own clothing and knit their own socks. Even their hats are home products. The only article of wear that I could find which was not made by the Bal timoreans was their shoes. These are curiosities! The men of the village—pardon, town—on week days wear the most primitive of foot wear-leather boots wdth iron soles. The Sheriff of Baltimore showed me his pair of never-wear-outs, which, he said, had been in his family for 30 years, and they did not show the lea3: sign of giving way. Sheriff Kennedy informed me that he and his sons had “leather shoes’ for Sunday w r ear, but he admitted that they were *• a mite uncomfort able after wearing the other kind." The only mail which reaches Bal timore arrives every other week. Their school is their mother’s knee, their church the parlor of the Sher iff’s home. Every one of the 22 lq habitants Is related, and their physi cal condition is a touching proof *'f the evils of intermarriage and the danger of tuberculosis in the moun tain districts. Fleet’s Cruise Stops Wedding of Ensign Decision of Secretary Daniels to Send 8hlps to Mediterranean Halts Matrimonial Plans. WASHINGTON, July 26—Decision by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, to send the Atlantic battleship fleet on a Mediterranean cruise was instrumental in postponing until next spring the marriage of Ensign Wil liam Henry Purnell Blandy, U. S. N„ of the battleship Florida, and Miss Roberta Hope Amies, one of the pret tiest of the Capital's younger women. The young couple were to have been married in the autumn, but now, due to the foreign cruise, the event will not take place until the return of the fleet next‘spring from the win ter maneuvers in Cuba and the spring target practice. Wrong Man's Ribs Cracked for Rival's Jealous Suitors Attack Stranger and, Finding Mistake, Apologize and Take to Heela. NEW York. July 26.—A girl’s Jealous suitors held up Daniel Smith, of Peekskill, at a pistol’s point in Highland Falls yesterday. They beat him until three of his ribs were broken and his head terribly bruised before they discovered they had the wrong man. "So you’ll keep after Beulah,” was the remark that preceded the attack. Finally, when the young man was able to explain his innocence, his as sailants let him up, saying: “Excuse us, old pal; guess w r e got the wrong fellow.” Then they fled. Smith in the hospital.

Wach- ter, a waiter in a Fifth avenue cafe, over the bald head with a bottle con taining hair tonic because he failed to serve her promptly. She was arrest ed. When she appeared in court she glanced toward Wachter and swooned. Miss Clark declared that she had been overcome by Wachter’s full head of hair, which was bald when she hit him.
