this man off at Brooklyn bridge and
see that he doesn't get off before he

Photographers Busy Day
Sunday has come to be the busiest
day of the week for the uptown pho
tographers. 1t sees as if people who
want their "picturs took have more
time for sittings on that day and that
they don't have to make an extra shift
into their Sunday ! est" There are
photographers on Broadway who could
get twice as many sittings at their
studios If there were twice as many
hours in the day. AS it is, some Of
them are idle through the week, and
when the rest of New York loafs they
are busiest.
About Bathing Suits
Come on in; the waters flne," will
soon be heard at the different resorts
within a radius of fifteen miles from
New York. The shops uptown where
bathing suits are built are now fitting
beach warmers for the "shore." Plain
ness and utility combined will be the
aim of every we'll dressed woman In
selecting this summers bathing cos
tune. There was too much show, too

Waldorf's Flag Room
Probably the most complete collec-
tion of emblems and flags to be found
anywhere in the world adorns a room
on a top floor of the Waldorf-Astoria,
known as the flag room. The collection,
which cost $4,000, was started years
ago by the management of the hotel,
and frequent additions have been
made, so that it contains every flag
in the world, including the various
special flags and banners of the diff

kinds which the eye might see in

for decorative purposes. Should any
notable guest arrive the hotel runs up
