New York; 1t is likely owing To the
fact that every person who comes to the
metropolis is supposed to know when
he gets there.
These present at The Social Whirl'
performance at the Casino. New York.
the las, lew nights. have been surprised
mt the finale when Adele Richie mount
ed on the gray mare Gloria. rakes the
hedge jump" to see Il glttering band
around the animals leg, midway be-
tween the knee and fetlock. The opera
glasses of those in the rear quickly told
their owners what the spectators ih the
front half of the house already realized
that Gloria was wearing a diamond
bracelet. Investigation revealed that
the braee,et was birthday present from
Miss Ritchie to Gloria. The mare was
> years old Monday. The bracelet CON
tains seventeen diamonds of large size
and is valued at $500. So far as is
known Gloria is the only animal out

trinket of this kind and value.
A taste for high life has hit the able
seamen of New York. No longer are
they content to ship before the mast on
any old wind TANNER" that comes
along irrespective of the pedigree of her
owner or his social status. A sudden
yearnng for better things. for II more TO
fined, aesthetic and incidentally Il bet
ter paid existence afoat has swept IRE
sistibly over the deep sea sailors here
abouts, with the result that sailing mas
tiers of common every day craft, without
brass rails and pillow cushions, are hav-
ing hard time getting crews. The whole
trouble is that in the spring Il sailors
fancy lightly turns TO thoughts of
yachts. The pay is higher, the work
easier and the food better. After the
hard winter months spent on some little
coastwise schooner the charms of an
easy berth aboard some mllionaire's
yacht are irresistible.
They were talking about the income
of Fraulein Krupp of Essen, Germany,
who is about to wed and whose income
is said to be something like $14 min
ute, when they came to Il side door of
Il concert hall uptown in New York.
There was crowd of perhaps $50 well
dressed women and men standing on the
sidewalk looking intently at door
What is the troube?" said one of
the men.
why, we are waiting to see come out
that woman who gets so minute for
singing" was the response.
The woman is well known vaudeville
performer. whose press agent has not
neglected to play up the salary dodge.
Il wonder if Fraulein Krupp could
attract such crowd by merely walking
out of the door without a press agent to
boom her?' was the question one of the
pedestrians asked.
Every weekday morning. just before 9
o'clock. there is admitted through the
grim iron gateway of the TombS, in New
York an earnest. pleasant hammered
man. who goes directly to the second
tier of the boys prison. There he takes
his stand in an alcove lighted from
barred window that looks out on Center
street. and furnished with bookcase,
desk and fourteen benches. The man is
Joseph c. Graveur, the schoolmaster of
the Tombs, otherwise chief probationary
officer His pupils are the young men
and boys in the prison awaiting trial
charged with various offenses. For seven
years Mr.. Graveur has presided over
this unique school and has eXerted an
influence for good upon thousands Of
boys There is not such another school
in the world The schoomaster lets the
boys ask him whatever they want to
know There is no set form of study.
One question leads to another and the
Tombs school takes more the form of
general information bureau tnan any
thing else.
If you noticed undue excitement along
the docks in New York, don't put it down
to any seismic disturbance. 1t was only
Frank Daniels and his family going to
Europe Mr. Daniels has a step-son and
a Stcp-daughter. He loves them very
much and they love him. but at times
they have the strangest manner of show
ing their affection. The girl, being Il
girl, is the more tractable of the two,
and Il glance from the stern eye of Mr..
Daniels--occaSionally even the funny eye
of such Il comedian as Frank Daniels
can bluff itself into sternnesS-will bring
her TO her senses and her equilibrium.
The hoy is harder to manage. He has
the habit of being sent home from school
during the session, of tearing around in
his fathers automobile and of doing
other things which are not criminal. but
which show that animal spirits may ut
times become troublesome and annoying.
Anyway. the Daniels, big and little. got
off for Europe and Rye n y, will
breathe evenly and temperately for some
weeks to come. Mr.. Daniels will make
a tour of the continent with his little
brood in an automobile, weather and
machine and step-son permitting.
There is no more lid in New York. 1t
is off: it is lost; and en- PEASANT it might
that there are no efforts being made 10
ascertain the whereabouts of the afore-
said lid-there have been no rewards of
fered for its recovery. Never since the
days of Bill Devery has New York been
so wide open as it is now. The Jerome
Bowling gambling act. which was not
only to close all the gambling houses in
the city. but also to keep them closed is
a dead letter. There are rs many pool
rooms as there are churches and almost
as many handbooks as there are saloons.
1t is a dull night when a sport cannot
attend prize fight; and any gent who
wants to try his luck Mt roulette or faro
can find "steerer" in almost any one of
the whiteway resorts. More crooks can
be found in the vicinity of Broadway
and Forty-Second street than were gath
cred there when former Police Commits
Sioner McAdot was led to declare that
was the worst corner in all New York.
The men higher up seem to have hyno-
