Canes
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of "At Good Old siwash.7

HE cane is a necessity of old age
and luxury OF youth.
Old men and a great many
young men find it impossible to walk
without cane. But not for the same
reason.
1t is the duty of the cane to support
an old man. But it is the duty of a
stylish young man to support a cane.
If a feeble old man were to 90 forth
without cane, he would fall down and
inlure himself gTievously. On the other
hand, ii q proper young man were to
leave his home and abandon his cane
he would feel as guilty as if he had
left a helpless child TO its fate.
Old men grasp the cane firmly by the
handle and rest the other end upon the
walk. But If a young man were to do
this he would make himself the subject
of a great deal of comment. Except
when prOpplng himself up while stand
ing in conversation, the young man does
not abuse his cane by tanning 1t into
the hard, concrete walk. He handles
it tenderly and guards the ferrule from
injury. Mud on the end of a young
mans cane is as disgraceful as mud
on his collar.
The green and awkward young man
is greatly afflicted by his cane. He
sticks it into cracks in the walk, for
gets it in public places and has to hold
it between his legs when he puts on his
gloves. 1t takes several years to learn
to wear a Youths size cane correctly.
And the worst of it is the fact that
when a man really needs a cane he has
to unleam ali that he has learned about
it in his gay and carefree youth.

NJ EW YORK, March 9.-What would
you think of seeing the pTesi-
dents daughter dancing with a
young man to whom she had not been
introduced IN a public dancing place?
Sounds pretty unreasonable, whatl
Yet that's just what I did observe
when I visited public school No. Al,
Greenwich avenue and Charles street.
You see, Miss Margaret Wilson once
lived IN Greenwich village. So she con-
sldered herself a neighbOr of the young
man In question. And intrOductiOns
aren't needed among neighbOTs, are they2
Miss Wilson is intensely interested
IN the work which is being done to up
lift this section of Manhattan. 1t is
a curious place q kind of oasis IN the
desert Of downtown. The sweep Of the
progress uptown has left it strangely
quiet and old fashioned. 1t has 1915
written all over it. The inhabitants
are largely descendants of early New
Workers who never made enough money
to move to Fifth avenue or to own a
country estate
But to get back to that dance.
I'VE are all neighbors here together"
said Charles A. BOhlen. who runs the
Greenwich commonwealth, which con-
Quoted the dance. He said this just as
a second young man (also unintrOduced)
butted in about the middle of the waltz
and took the presidents daughter away
from the first unintrOduced young man.
Before the music paused, Miss Wilson
had danced with four youths OF the
village.
She is always glad to dance with any
decent young mGn-no matter who he is,
if he's decent-and all our young men
are decent
Another picturesque bit of New York
life is being eliminated pretty rapidly
by that industrious young woman, Mrs.
katie" Davis, our new commissioners
of corrections. She threw up her hands
in horror at the hosry old custom she
found in our famous bastille, proceeded
to get a new broom and made a clean
sweep. She has even dared to squelch
