scheme to stand in with fiat agents and
make their reports conform to the terms
of such a stand-in. But they don't. They
are honest. Their work proves it. 1
fryer to test out a fat that he wanted
very much, decided to move in anyway.
notwithstanding the fact that the flat
fryer reported to him that there was a
piano playing maniac on the floor beneath
the fiat who kept humping all day. He
found it just as she had stated. only
worse; and he had to move elsewhere
within a week.
Which reminds me that an odd sort Of
suit is presently to be tried in one of
the civil courts here.
Young children are not allowed in any
of the fashionable and handsome fiat
houses on Riverside Drive. The rule has
stood ever since the first of the River
side Drive fiat houses was built. In a
very splendid eighteen-room apartment
in one of the Riverside Drive apartment
houses a couple that had occupied the
month ago, the stOrk.
AS soon as the agent found out about
this almost criminal proceeding he gently
but firmly intimated to the head of the
house that while he was sorry etc. the
rule couldn't be broken. The fiat would
have to be surrendered. 1t was in the
lease that no young children were to be
moved into the house. Therefore. etc,
etc.
The occupant OF that fiat liked the
nat. He was used to 1t. So was his
wife. He tried persuasion The agent
declined to yield. Then he told the agent
he would fight the thing, and he Is fight
ing II. The agent started ejectment
proceedings. and the tenant Of the fiat
has filed a cross-suit. whatever ii is,
in which the plea is set forth that he
did not bring any child or children into
the fat. The child just happened, but
was mot brought in. Pretty in
senious? Yes. And the sympathy OF
the community is with the man. and odds
of five to one are being offered that he
is going to win his legal contention.

ONE never ceases to marvel at the
~ real courage Of the suffragettes. The
suffragette propaganda is not making
much Roadway in this neighborhood OF
late: perhaps for the reason that two
famous society women Of New York
clashed in their efforts to gain for theil
individual selves the headship of the
whole movement in New York, and there
by made for a good deal of disruption in
the various Sunragette organizations. But
the women who still adhere to the cause
are just as earnest as ever they were.
and the amount of boOrish treatment they
willingly take in furtherance of their
idea always seems to me astonishing
thing. considering that in the MAN, the
sunragettes are well-to-do women most
OF them well married and with beautiful
homes. and therefore in a position to get
good deal Of enjoyment out of life.
Last week I went up to White Plains
TO attend the Westchester county fair and
horse show. The suffragettes of West
chester county took advantage of the oc-
casion TO make a demonstration They
demonstrated every day while the fair
lasted. and the amount of patience and
endurance they exhibited was bathing (.
