ming of these murderers Of uptown
nerves. But the battered comets still
are borne triumphantly through the
streets. and still get wind punched into
them that makes the thought Of early
death more than welcome. So with the
barrel organs. How many times,
wonder, has it been announced during
the past five years alone that the Anti
effort, succeeded in getting the hurdy-
gurdy contraptions put out of business
I should hate to say. Yet an average
of at least a dozen of these hideosities,
grinding out the hateful "Miserere' or
the hateful Lucia" thing, stop before
the doors of uptown New Workers every
day but Sunday, and after the con
tinental Sunday" that they talk so much
of is thoroughly introduced into New

probably permit the barrel organists
to grind Sundays. too.
Downtown New York is. of course,
a kind of delirium from the horrible
and incessant. day-long and night -long.
phut-phutting of automobiles and taxi
cabs The Anti-Noise Society has
tackled that problem, and the members
say they've lnitigated the evil. Mitl-

think, for any non -anti-noiseist to be-
lieve that the awful phut- phuttlnS
nuisance has been abated a nickeIs
worth. The Anti-Noise Society also
took up the matter of the unnecessary
yyhistling of steamboats, and tugs on
the two rivers at night. The Anti-Noise
Society thinks that this evil has been
abated also. 'Tis a fair dream, but I
don't think any Of the aiti-noise folk
can live very close to either of the
rivers or they would know differently.

Q OCIETY women of New York. it
Al
fact came out in a recent suit hero
brought by young woman called
a social secretary" against her en-
pIoyer, a woman of the very haut-iest
of the haut ton of New York. The suit
was for salary due on a contract which
the society woman had broken by dis
charging the social secretary" long
time before her contract was scheduled
to terminate. The young woman fatty
told the court and jury that her d1l-
ties simply were that Of press agent
for her employer. There was another
young woman in the fine establishment
who attended to her employers CORE
spondence, and she herself, the press
agent, didn't put finger upon that
part Of the work. Her one job. she
said, was to see to it that her employ
ers name got into the papers just as
often as possible-name and picture
besides: and it was for the reason that.
she wasn't, according to her employ
ers view. getting enough publicity for
that lady that she had lost her job be-
fore the termination Of her twenty
five acknowledgment contract. The case
hasn't been decided yet But it amuses
lot of people who imagined that the
employment of press agents by So
ciety people really was new thing.
Well, after all, it isn't SO new. 1t
wasn't new twenty years ago, when
the present writer had his mournfully
unhappy little whirl as a society re-
porter in New York. He used often to
come into contact at that time with
persons, male and female, who, if they
were not actually called press agents
for their wealthy and kapoo employ
ers, certainly performed all OF the
