If William Waldorf Aator never gains
what Is supposed Co' be the height of hie
ambition, a title from hie friend Edward
VII., he at least may content him
self with a title that has been spon
taneously accorded htm by the employes
of the New Netherlands the hostelry
which he honors with his presence la
the land of tradespeople, William Prince
of Tipsters.
True, this title was not bestowed while
he bowed low on bended knee, with the
flat of a sword stinging his shoulder,
but better perhaps it arose out at
boundless gratitude of a host of bene
ficiaries who have thriven on his largess
since he has been In thle country.
Mr. Aator has a qui red so many for
agn attributes of habits and deportment
at even his critics will admit that
It Is as though he were to the manoer
born, and in no particular Is this empha
sised so thoroughly,' as oonvlnclqgly, as
in his tins.
Mr. Aator has laid aside ITBe for tine
during his stay at the new Netheriand.
Think of that. It IS Ah salary of an
ordinary bookkeeper. Hi throws money
about to those who help him In any
way at the hotel, as a farmer aoattera
Chicken feed.
Ha hae made the other guests at the
hotel appear eommonplace la the eyes of
the servahts and employes, and hereaf
ter their measure of a tipster will be on
a scale to ahook even the most generous
pork packer that ever earns out of Chi
cago or Omaha.
Each week Mr. A iter's valet prepares
list- of those who are -to be tipped,
submits It to the master, who make
any necessary changea and than turns
over ts the manservant the coin of 'the
reaim.
Then the Servant Bountiful plies his
course about tha hotel, leaving Joy, and
gratitude in his wake, in fact, the
halo of good will and cheerfulness that
now bangs over the New Netherlands
would turn a gray November day Into
eomeblng thst could b viewed only
through smoked glass.
There are those who wonder what Will
happen after Mr. Aator goes. Will the
force be demoralised or will It settle
down to the smaller ret uma, thankful
that Provldeaos Mew fortune their way
at all? , - -
It la a question. - i
Mr. Aator today refused sheolutely to

which has marked him as among the

But all thla time there haa been a

The ban which had been not upon her
by the leaders of Chicago's exclusive set
followed her to New York and at first
to London, and all that money would buy
seemed but a hollow pretense, while the
craving for social iwoognltloa went un

Although It was la Chios a that Mr.

those of princesses, and at one time aha
had clsehana legal action with the
Infanta Eulalto of Spain, who sought to

Mr. Terkes heard of four oriental run

The rugs, too, led him Into the lew
