| a cursory glance revealed a. big monster
| with one horn which was rushing in
their direction. The beast did not break
loose from the Bronx Inenagerie, nor
did 1t escape from the wild animal show
at Coney Island. 1t was simply COW
"a poor old Hereford that was rsing
driven to a ferryboat by an upstate
granger The COW is the first that has
been seen on Broadway for perhaps
te%years.
No other Belts Like This One
! There is a woman in New York who
is distinguished by the belt she wears
1t ls perhaps the most remarkable con-
ceit in New York, consisting of sixteen
gold medals, each of which represents
a first prize in an athletic contest won
by the wearer's 'fiance, the two medals
forming the clasp standing for national
championships. The making of this
belt was "a formidable task for the
| jeweler who got it up, owing to the
| fact that the fastening together of the
sixteen medals had to be done with un-
usual care, since the liberal use of en-
amel made the business of brazing the
gold eyelets for the connecting links
a laborious process The medal winner
| is a member of the New York Athletic
club.
Valuable Coat Collars
| Broadway furrier was taking his
stock out of the moth-proof cold storage
room today 1t came forth coated with
glistening white frost But there was
one beautiful skin that, though just as
stiff as any of the others, had no frost
on it. 'It is early to talk about furs,"
said the dealer, "but L want you to
look at this skin. 1t is the kind that
the richest Russians have their over
coat collars made of. 1t is a sea otter's
skin, and 1t is so expensive that often
one coat collar of it will cost $500. 1t is
unqueStionably the best kind in che
world to make coat collars of. Why?
Look at this one, and you'll see. All
my other skins are coveerd with frost
while on this fur no frost whatever ap-
pears. And that's the reason sea otter
skins make the best collars"
Garbage Cans in Wrong Place
Sanitary laws are enforced with more
strictness in New York than in any
other city in the country, but there is
one feature of the life of this city that
strikes one as being altogether out of
accord with the progresSiVeness and
modern air of the country's largest
city. And that is the custom of placing
garbage cans on the street in front Of
residences in some of the most eX-
elusive districts in the city. These un-
slightly and evil-smelling cans can be
seen on the streets of the best sections
Of the upper Westside. In a little town
it would be regarded as a positive Of
Tense to the community for family to
allow a. can of garbage to stand in front
of the doorstep.
Losing Valuable Gems
1t has been a most luxurious season
in diamonds and other precious stones,
for 1t has been said by someone with a
passion for statistics that $350,0OO worth
of Jewels have been stolen during the
season from New Yorkers. In fact. in
many resorts the summer is considered
dull without jewel robberies to enliven
1t. Apparently the wealth of the West
Indies and the treasure houses has only |
one object, that of being lost. In New
port, in particular, society women are
constantly losing their jewels and, al
though they don't all capture their
thieves. like Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, |
1t enlivens the summer season. New
York society women seem to regard the
vanishing of gems-that is, other per-
sons'-a most delectable excitement. At
least that is the comment of a man
who had taken a bird 's-eye view Of New
York women at the resorts this sum-
mer.
Gray Hair Is Popular
New York society women and stage
folk are taking kindly to a microbe
which has been quite busy during "a
cent years 1t is the chromophage. Hell
