Broadway restaurants are by or for the
out-of-town trade. Not less than 100000
strangers register in New York every
day. Most of them begin to take the string
off the old shotbag about the time they
come into the station. AS soon as the
lights go up they change into evening
clothes. Four out-of-town buyers In seven
come to New York to kick up their heels.
They could do all their business by mail.
It's safe to say that half million dollars
a day is paid to New York for entertain
ment by Skaneteles and Medicine Hat.
Mr. Gordon-They come to New York

The o'clock crowds at the tea dances
are mostly New Workers. They go to din
ner at I O'Clock. At Q O'Clock the vibra-
ton starts all over again, with an evening
shift of dancers, many of whom are visit
ors to the city. They keep at it until
coarse constabulary rattles at the door at
l o'clock in the morning and the taxi
cabs begin to charge the same old rates
under the nice new ordinance. AS a COM
mercial development turkey trotting is
only comparable in Importance to the
discovery that no one ever looks at the
label on wine bottle after 11:45 pm.
Mr.. Gordon-Poor borrowed chauffeur
All dry out there.
Failed to Find Shocks.
We hunted shocks all the way to the
circle-and didn't find them. Each res
taurant had a little place cleared in the
middle Of the floor where all those who
could get in trotted. The Iivelier places
had a pair of professionals on leash. Be
tween trots they danced the tango.
The Girl-Last time l saw that little
blond was in Paris. She was dancing at
MaXim's.
Mr.. Condon-Which little blond?
Amateur dancers rarely ventured on the
tango. 1t is too complicated and excess
for roughshod folks. One missed step
threw the whole thing out of gear like
dropping sand in a Swiss watch
I'd say that trott:ng isn't shocking. And
waltz and two-step are trotting. And
that the tango is just beautiful!
Anyhow. two years ago every other
restaurant on Broadway depended on
hired entertainers to keep the dust off

Cancelled their cabarets now. Even the
dancing restaurants not paying ex-
cess prices to professional dancers. The
professionals are only needed to prime
the pump. After they have trotted a bit
plenty of amateurs join them. Whether
this rage for dancing will hold the res
taurant-gOing public for two years or for
ever no one knows. But just now the
restaurant keeper who would succeed is
themselves. There's the answer we sought
when We started out. We awakened the
chauffeur in the borrowed car.

As the days wore away Lucy began
to feel less and less comfortable in
her new surroundings. There was an
atmosphere of worldlness and insin-
cerity which almost terrified her at
times. The ways of her cousins were
so different from those in her fathers
household!
Her mother had died two years .e-
fCre and her father had been called
west on an important business mat
ter. Lucy could hardly go home to
an empty house. For this reason she
tried hard to adjust herself until tie
end of her visit should arrive.
Another thing which troubled he.
was Tom Lawson's evident liking for
dilection for the young man. Money
had not spoiled him, at any rate.
She was half afraid OF arousing her
cousins jealousy. but Millie. who had
not failed 10 notice Lucy's friendship
for Tom. laughed at 1t.

country mouse" she said. "and not

Lucy resolved to keep away from
Tom. But one afternoon he came in
unexpectedly. when Millie and her
mother were out driving. They did
not often take Lucy with them.
