GAY Did you ever burst right
~ into Bohemia and with the aid
of a complaining pocketbook try
to Help yourself to Hilarious eve
ming?
Tag me-Pm 1t.
OF course, don't mean Bohemia In
the highbrow sense-nix. Not one or
those quaint retreats with the lemon
colored atmosphere where sad-eyed
Artistic Temperaments foregather to
chop spaghetti with a fork and bark
handmade repartee at each other over
a beaker of absinthe-nix.
mean the Bohemia so called by
the Buyer from Max Plains Universal
Emporium, Waukesha, Wis, who hits
New York along in August and leaves
the imprint of his sandals all over
Longacre Square and adjacent by
ways.
The Bohemia, so called, which is
composed of incandescent lights dis
guished as rosebuds; Bulgarian wait
ers disguised as second-story work
ers, and a menu card which, without
any disguise. leads the unwary direct
ly to a Petition in Bankruptcy.
Ever since we've been back in New
York, Peaches has been Handing out
Hints that she'd like to have me take
her over the hurdles into that Fair
Land where rag-time and Dreaded pork
chops do a sister act-to one of those
real devilish New York Cabarets.
Rub his ankles, Doctor; the blood
has rushed to his Bean!
1 tried to explain to friend wife
that the Cabaret is an institution in
vented solely for the purpose of CIV
ing hiccups to Gold-plated Strangers,
but Peaches was strong for Peek at
the Night-Life of New York and it
was up to me to furnish the opera
glasses.
She wanted to know if thought
she could toy with a tenderloin steak
in some Musical Soup-House without
having a policeman call her by her
first name.
l told her was away on sick leave

been passed around, but I'd ask my
friend Hep Hardy about it.
Hep is what they call in the laura
jeans Prince of Good Fellows.
AS near as l can size him up a
Prince of Good Fellows puts in
twelve hours a day trying to stab
himself to death with Bronx cocktails,
and the other twelve hours are de-
voted to screaming for help and ice
water.
Mind you, I'm not Knocking Hep.
His father cut out the breathing
business about four years ago and
left Hep with 100000 and long dry
spell on the inside.
Hep has been in the surf ever since
His only recreation between bars
is golf. He invented the G. A. R.
score in that game-out in 81, back
in '65.
l explained my sad plight to Hep
over the phone and, later on, with
Peaches all dolled up like a Corot
landscape, we met Hep by appoint
ment in front of Bustafiddlestrings
Cabaret.
Hep in his man-about-town scenery
was a sartorial dream in black and
white. He had everything on, includ-
ing half bun.
We'll, If it isn't John Henry!" he
hagueandhagued. Touch thumbs with
your old pail" Then in a side speech
he wanted to know what musical show
had loaned me its prize chicken.
1 introduced him to my wife and
he tried to square himself by explain
ing that now that his right eye was
properly focused she didn't look at all
like chicken-she was more of the
squad type.
Then with a merry burst of YER
mouth-laden laughter he led the way
into the Cabaret.
The head waiter met us at the edge
of the reservation.
Hep slipped him something that
made noise like five dollars and the

to annoy the corks and then followed
correct imitation of the second day
at Gettysburg
One cork went over quickly to an
other table and struck fat moneyed
person from Pittsburgh between the
second and third floor of his accordion
chin. He thought 1t was one o'clock,
so he arose hurriedly and left the
room.
Meanwhile Max was overheard with
a splash. For the first ten minutes
he had three walters on the verge of
nervous prostration trying to supply
the suds fast enough. But Max didn't
play Rugby rules-he used two
glasses and both hands. After time,
however, he feathered both oars and
drifted aimlessly with the tide.
Pardon mel" said Peaches to Max,
in an effort to pass out bit of Soci-
ETY. Salve, "but do you find it inter-
esting-this glimpse of Bohemia ?'
Bohemia nothing!" dubbed Max
This joint is Cosmopolitan-sure
thing! The chef is a Frenchman;
the pastry cook is Greek; the head
waiter is German; they got Hun
garian violinist and the proprietor has
wife and two kids in Jersey City,
but he don't go there much. Bohemian,
not on your powder puff!"
Peaches took the count. then she
leaned over and whispered to me,
What is he?-a painter"
"Oh! he's a painter all right"
Water colors or oil?" she asked.
"Oil," l said; "fusel OIL
HAS he ever done any good thing?"
she queried.

"Oh! I'm enjoying this so much,'
she coo-eooed. giving Max and his
past performances the sudden pass-by.

hair?"

close one eye and with the other look
over al Peaches and hand her a sad,
sweet smile.
It's a gay life, boys!
When our expensive food finally
arrived Hep was gazing at his fingers
and wondering how they got on his
hands, while Max, the genial pest,
with his chin driven through his shirt
front, was over on Dream Avenue,
about to hitch up his favorite night
mare and take a spin through Bug
land.
Peaches was toying with spoonful
of consomme Julienne and l was par
leying shoestring potatoes back on
my fork, when suddenly there came a
great changing of bells, doors ratified
and banged, women screamed and the
orchestra fell out of a back window
all except the bass fiddle. He fell
in bowl of soup left for him by an
obliging but hurrying waiter.
Max woke up suddenly, looked
about wild-eyed and slid gracefully
under the table.
Hep, with a roll of bills in each
hand, tried to stand up and defy the
universe, but he toppled over among
the wine-coolers and passed peaceful
ly away again in cold storage.
A fat man with q beard and a dia-
lect ran around in circles exclaiming
that he was the proprietor, but nobody
pinned medal on him, and he burst
into sobs
Then he rushed over to our table
and yelled. Get out! Get outl"
why should we get out?" 1 in
quired, placing piece of fried chick
en- tenderly in his outstretched hand
Because it's closing up time and
always forget about it. The police
have to come and remind me-"
Then he threw the fried chicken
at the lady cashier and faded out of
our lives.
l looked in the direction of the door.
Yes, there they were-an Army Corps
of Cops, marching steadily forward
into the Palace of Pies, fearless in the
face of danger.
1t was a brave sight to see them de-
ploy by tours and reaching forward
with their nightsticks knock hunk of
beefsteak out of a hungry diners
hand.
I grabbed Peaches by the elbow
and we beat it from Bohemia while
the beating was good
The last saw of Max he was act
ing as a foot-rest for the General COM
handing the Fifth Brigade, while Hep
slept peacefully on amid the up-turned
wine-coolers and the ice-floes.

Under change of policy just decid- ed upon by the management, an ad- mission fee of five cents will be charg- ed at Forest Park, beginning next Sunday.
 It is claimed that this charge is necessary to maintain the park, the revenue received heretofore, with free gates, being insufficient
 To compensate the public free ad- mission will be given to the park the ater, to which tickets previously have been required. A program of vaude- vile and pictures will be provided.
 History of the Park.
 Forest Park is owned by land com pany, which leased it a dozen years or more ago to the street railway com pany. The street railway company improved the property and sub-leased it to the Tri-City Amusement Com pany, composed of well-known citizens of Little Rock. The amusement com- pany in turn has leased the park and it's equipment to an experienced amusement manager who is expected to make, not only a profit for himself, but some return to the amusement company, so that it can pay it's rentals to the street railway company com pany, which owns the buildings The interest of the street railway com pany the owners of the land and the public is to see that the park is made attractive to the thousands of people who visit it during the sum- mer season. a
 The park has never made a profit for it's operators, lessees or owners, figuring the cost of it's maintenance against the profit received from the rental of concessions. It has not re- ceiyed the patronage necessary. to support high-class attractions. On a recent Sunday a band concert was given that cost the park management $50, and the days receipts were only ST.
 Statement From MT. Walden.
 These are the reasons Manager Walden gives for putting fve-cent gate fee on the park, beginning Sun day, May g. The money derived from these admissions will help defrly the expenses of the park, and enable him to give free vaudeville and picture show in the theater that is better than anything to be seen downtown for a dime, MT. Walden says.
 There has been vaudeville bill at the park previously, but very few peo- pie, the manager says, have visited the theater. With the free admission at the show instead of the gate he thinks the playhouse will be filled with people.
 The formal opening of the park will take place Saturday, and no admis- sion will be charged for this day Af- ter Saturday a charge of five cents will be made for all persons more than 12 years of age.
 Inquiry develops the fact that there IS no clause in the original lease of the Forest Park property that would
