J. Waldere Kirk. hailed king Of the
Dudes" who lives in New York and dresses
in style; who is spoken Of by all the latest
things In chappie clothes as. the most
chawmingly clevah dwessah" that they
"evah met, me boy" was in the city last
week, but remained only long enough to
change his clothes twelve times and
twenty" once, and then went over to Cat
alma island. He wanted to be in the swim.
He had heard that the gold fishes over
there, who are said to be in the swim, are
wearing several new combinations Of col
ors, and he yearned to get on to the effect,
with an idea OF bringing out some Of the
combinations In New York later In the sea-
son.
Some interviews with several Of the well
known men about town who also have an
other suit of clothes, were obtained yester-
day by the Herald's interviewer. under a
promise not to put them In the paper. The
interviews follow:
G-Y B-RH-M-"Oh, I don't know; he Is
not such an only. The newspapers are
all the time boosting him, but don't see
that he gets 1t on so plenty. The Examiner
printed my picture when 1 was up with the
convention shove the other day; and you
know how SILVER every time newspaper
man comes near me. haven't seen this
man hug anything so far that will ruin
your eyesight any quicker than that from
tispiece Tod Sloan presented to me. It's
a dead open that the garment was cut from
hoss-blanket Tod brought across the
drink with him, and I wouldn't gamble
with anybody else's money that the prince
himself didn't fool his sterling into that
very blanket earlier in the play. Don't
think I'm trying to knock this chap; he
may be the only good show in town on the
other seaboard, but you can give 1t out
that I haven't noticed anybody up at the
California club throwing away their clothes
since he arrived, so am still going to play
that he isn't the whole thing, till learn
better"
CH-wL-Y H-sT-NGs-"Aw, but I cawn't
say much about 1t. you know, really I
cawn't. You mustn't nevah put anything
say about clothing in the papah. because
I won't like II, you know. People who
don't know me might think was In trade,
and that would hurt me in society. But II
you won't put 1t in the papah. I will tell
You that I consider him very clevah
dwessah, for a fellah who has had no ad-
vantages whatevah."
WILLIE G-RL-ND-"Didn't know he
was in town. Never sold him piece OK
real estate in my life, and don't know
whether he is here to get pointers from my
wardrobe or not. The population Of Los
Angeles will be seven million in Pill, and
II he knows a real good thing when hq
sees It he will buy now. I shall see him
about 1t when he returns from the island.
How many different changes a day did

Adams street snap for him."
