New York had a taste OF what San
Francisco passed through with the
huge explosions last week. And for
the first time Broadway lost its head.
Diners rushed out of the cafes pell
nell and women tainted in the
streets. Men who were blase about
most things figured that they were
facing the Big Thrill and they grew
ashen and trembling.
A little waiter in a big Lobster
Palace was the coolest n Of the
lot. Whats the big idea?" he told
a diner. What if it is the end, Most
of YOU folks have had a good time,
Why whine now? I'd not be a cry
baby if the building was tumbling
in right now"
Everywhere there were broken
windows. Along the wholesale dis.
trlcts the wholesalers themselves
were on guard actuany Fayru5 pa
nochle. Some Of them looKeL un-
usually happy. Perhaps it vas be.
cause it was their first night out foI
a long time.
