INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 24.-Miss Ger
trude Thornberry celebrated her nine
teenth birthday last night and invited
several girl friends to her home for a
stag dance, and stipulated that her
friends must come attired in mems APP
parel. When the girls assembled there

conventional swallow tail with the ac-
companying silk hat.
The dance was in progress when one
of the parents discovered that his sun
day suit was missing. About the same
time a neighbor missed his dress sull,
and close on the heels of this another
neighbor reported that his new sun,
just received from a tailor, had peSh
taken. 1t was clear that whoiesals
raid had been made in the neighpor-
hood, and, after notifying the poilSe'
some of the parents went over 70 tne
house of mirth to see If, possibly, tneu
daughters knew anything of the missing
garments.
There the facts became known ana
the stag party was allowed TO go Oh
uninterrupted.

Mrs Cudworth was at hrsI hlole

The smooth gentleman who ''frisks

Mo Perspective on Buildings
"One of the most impressive things
about the public buildings in New
York" remarked man who had just
returned to the city after a few months
abroad, lis the way they are situated
so far as preventing them from being
seen from any great distance, and
thus forming such Vistas as one sees
so often on the other side Grace
church is the only one l know that ap-
proXimates what / mean, while as for
two Of the most important buildings,

scum of Art and the new public

sees them from the cross streets that

on the west of Columbus avenue. The

be simply magnificent if they were In
some other situations such as that

Starves Some to Dine Well
"A restaurant like this is as good a
place as any theater for the study OF

NEWS AND NOTES OF INTEREST
GATHERED In GAY NEW YORK

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Society of this
gay island is afflicted with the limps
or the hobbies. Possibly 'twould not be
stretching a point to call the malady
the springhalt, but it seems that every
body in the blue blood" zone has un-
consciously acquired the limping habit
Yes, you can readily distinguish a New
Yorker who has a retinue of servants
and who owns a steam yacht or two
with a few autos on the side, by his or
her limp. Almost every member of the
bon-ton set now ungracefully swings a
pedal aft as though one leg was really
longer than it ought to be. The ultra
fashionable set is now thoroughly
awake to the fact that unless they move
about on roller skates they will be un-
able TO produce delsarte movement. The
falr members of the swell set acknoWl-
edge that they are becoming pigeon
1oed and that their mode of locomotion
is laugh-provoking to their sisters Of
other cities. Everything has been
blamed on the scapegoat auto or the
hour-glass heels but the naphtha wag-

Janitress and Caretaker
Cosmopolitan New York has queer So
clal distinctions, and perhaps the queer
est and hardest to understand exists
between the "caretaker" and the "jani-
tress." The jauitress you meet i'm the
ordinary fiat house, the caretaker you
are privileged to observe in the studio
building and others of its ilk. If you
don't know anything about the distinc-
tion you are apt to step on the care
takers corns at the start. To all APP
pearances she is like the janitress she
has the same froWsy hair the same
dirty apron wound around her hands,
the same out -at-the-toes shoes, the
same number of children and the same
DelllBeienl attitude. But she has not
the same soul. No, indeed She is sub,
limated, and nothing is so far beneat n
her contempt as a real janitress. The
distinction seems to consist i'm the fact
that what the janitress performs as du-
Ties the caretaker bestoWs as faVors.
The Janitress takes your garbage off
the dumbWaiter and empties your ask
pail AS matter of course and is crate

your tip as though it were beneath her
notice She would like to make you feel
that il is not her habit to receive tips,
and that If she does 50 from you II is a
particular mark of her favor. AT first

ter, a steering wheel and the regula-
tion torpedo boat stern. These min
iature craft are made in two styles,
one to appeal to men and the other
to women. The first style converts
the miniature craft into a receptacle
for cigarettes, the well furnishing the
place for the short smokes to lie,
while up in the bow of the craft is
a place for matches nesting under

manlike way, another hatch in the

writer wonders why a man always
looks in his hat before he puts it on.
Here is what she says: when a man
puts on his hat he most always looks
inside ii first. What he expects to see
remains a mystery, but he looks for
it all the same" That's easy. He
looks in his hat to see if the knot
holding the inside band together will

puts it on. Now. if she'll tell me why

The man who actually resides on

it's a flat where he's miserable by

generally looks upon his domicile with
the same feeling of deep sentiment
