Brave Protectors of Women
The women of New York owe a debt
of gratitude to those policemen whose
business it is to conduct pedestrians
across the crowded thoroughfares of
the city and who are in themselves a
striking illustration of the fact that
the strong and brave possess the most
kindly natures ASSuredly 1t is no light
or easy thing to stand in the midst of
stream of vehicles, which very likely
may include autos speeding at the limit
of the law and equally reckless han
SONS, yet this is a part of the ordinary
duty of these courageous men. And
how promptly and cheerfully they
hasten to the relief of scared women on
the curb, who hardly dare venture to
leave it, even under the protection Of
guardians so puissant. 1t is an amaz-
ing comfort to see the giant lin uniform
approaching, and to be conveyed to the
other side in safety, and no woman
ever fails to acknowledge the invalu-
able service with thanks.
Hotel Makeup Rooms
Almost every large hotel in New
York now has a makeup room The
women call em dressing rooms, because
that name does not SAVIOR of cosmetics,
paste and the like. "The absolute cam
dor which women put on while MAX
ing up before each other in the hotel
dressing rooms is amazing" said hotel
clerk. "Three out of every four women
who come in after walk or ride or
before entering the cafe dab their faces
plentifully with powder, touch up their
lips then ask the maid to bring a box
of rouge kept in the dressing ia BILE with
cork tipped cigarettes for those whose
nerves demand a soothing puff or two
of tobacco after dinner" OF course,
the hotels guarantee all the grease and
powder-the maid shows the unlni-
tiated woman who wants a wholesome
complexion how to apply the coloring
matter and declares that 1t is harmless
and not the kind which wicked cosmetic
makers are accused of selling and
which doctors say cause physical
breakdowns.
New Play for the Shuberts
The Shuberts have closed a deal
whereby 1.-THE Stolen Story" will be
transferred to them for a merry little
spin over the circuit. So far have
progressed that Lee Shu-
bert and representative were on the
tentatively engaging members of the
present cast. While Henry M. Savage
declares that the play of newspap per life
does not quite attain to the box Office
standard he had set, the Shuberts, with
the same optimism they displayed In
the purchase of ''Veronique." made an
offer for the piece the moment they
learned Of its withdrawal. More than
anything else just now, the Shuberts
require attractions. They have coll
lected theaters assiduously; but more
problem is to find the proper
attractions with which to keep them
open. A production ready made es-
pecially when 1t is of a play that many
enthusiastically indorse, fts right iuto
their scheme OF management.
No Door Grape When Death Comes
'Tis true saying that the folks "a
New York, do not even know their next
door neighbors. One might die here
and the other nat dwellers In the same
house would be none the wiser, No
Grape Is hung on the outer doors Of the
apartment houses when OILS of the oc-
cupants has crossed the Great Divide,
because It would be disturbing to the
other tenants. And SO there are parts
