MARRIED A MILLIONAIRESS.
But $3 for Room Two Hours Looked
High to Bakewell.
Paul Bakewell, the St. Louis attorney who married Miss Mary Morgan Fullerton, a St. Louis girl with $1,500,000 in her own name, was a guest at the Hotel Baltimore yesterday, with his bride of a day, and made one of the first moves in his vow to live within his own means when he "roared" over paying $3 for the use of a room for two hours. Mr. Bakewell and his wife registered at the hotel about 8 o'clock yesterday morning and were assigned to a room, paying out two hours later.
After they had breakfasted, Mr. Bakewell approached the cashier's desk and asked what was the amount of his bill. Turning over the leaves of the ledger, the cashier pulled out Mr. Bakewell's account and putting down a few figures, told the attorney the amount.
"That is rather high for two hours' occupancy of a single room, is it not?" he inquired.
"Oh, no," replied the cashier, sweetly, "Not at all. You see you can remain in the room all day if you like, and it won't cost you any more. We make our charge by the day, and you pay for a day whether you occupy the room for a whole day or any portion of the day."
Mr. Bakewell considered the proposition with perplexity for several minutes, then paid the money and went out.
