FALL-TIME GOSSIP PICKED
UP ABOUT NEW YORK CITY

up a season or so ago. Girls with lily
white compilations and the peaches
and cream variety now fill the streets,
and when n girl with a bronzed COM
plexlon and sun-bleached hair looms on
the horizon she Is sufficiently .nusual
to cause comment and stares. And the
automobile is responsible. Il IL said.
Almost all who motor wear wells and
goggles, so the tawny charmer falls
into hopeless minority. OF course, oil
summer girls don't ride i'm motor cars,
but this doesn't keep them from wear
ing wells.
Rather Face Fuss at Home
The man gazer is one Of the most
Interesting sights In New York at this
time Of the year. Stop I'm front Of any
striking or pretty shop window and you
will be sure to meet one or two Of
them With mouth and eyes open, taking
in the "poin is" of the display. They are
not window drapers or tailors, either
They look like prosperous business men
or bankers from out Of town. Some OF
them have a distinct western flavor and
others are southern from the tops of
their soft hats to the toes Of their
boots. Sometimes they enter the shops
and timorously ask to see dress goods
and women's hats, but more often they
Just gulp and pass on, resolving that 1t
is better to face storm at home than
to face the problem Of picking some-
thing out of the medley for the little
woman who has commissioned them to
see the New York styles and bring
some of them back home"
Collars and Land

collars. This merchant began his BUSH
ness career by peddling notions along
| Gotham's Broadway, and that not so
many years ago. For several years he
has had sideline in operating on
options covering real estate In the
neighborhood of the easterly terminus
of the second bridge, and has been uni
formly successful in his holdings Dur
ing the past twelve months Mr.. Wide
awake's dealings in property transac-

ward of $3.50, 900. Asked if he now pur-
posed retiring from the collar industry,

safed mo, for the reason that the

wear collars"

An Appreciation" of Art
i one sometimes sees queer examples
Of rubberneclSing at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, which show that chill
dren alone are not the only ones who
like to see the inside of toy' II
the museum there is a gigantic canvas
by Hans Makart, entitled Diana $
! Hunting Party" 1t was hung there
behind and above group of statues
so that the spectator might get a
the picture to allow its life-size figures
and wealth of detail to merge together
| into the one artistic impression. Well,
what do the spectators really do
They actually go behind the statues
and stare at the green and pink paint
for 1t is nothing else at that dis
tance-as if they were looking for a
tiny microscopically executed Bargue
or Meissonier.

legged beauties for SNOWY parade,
said a machine driver in Central park
yesterday afternoon as he viewed a
rig that was exciting admiration. The
| ponies were matched perfectly and the
| rest of the outfit seemed as If 1t had

fine equipages sorry for the auto. 1T
was driven by pretty girl In pink
| frock, who showed skill in her handling
of the pair. She had bare arms and
i gloveless hands and she looked thor
oughly comfortable.
Landlords Trust Roasted
"Down with the robber landlords!"

which numbers 1900 members. The
union holds large open-air meetings
IN the evenings and has for its press

Tammany orator. The meetings are
opened with prayer, but they do not
always close with benediction, because
| sometimes they almost end In fist
fight The union was appropriately
organized May last, of all the days
of the year the most calculated to
infuriate tenants against landlords,
rents, janitors and owners of moving
vans. At meeting of the union the
other night the orators spoke from a
truck that was brilliantly lighted.
They declared the landlords form the
biggest, greediest trust on earth. They
gave horrible examples of the rapacity
Of the landlord octopus and swore that
the janitors are the only tentacles OF
