New York, Nov. Is-As Samuel
Pepys would record in his diary: Up
and down the streets is cried nightly
the great victory that seems GER
tain for Lord Kerensky and his
troops in Russia
Sun rising bright and glorious. and
by Gods blessing ends my diary
for the past three years; 1 being
In all points In good health and a
good way to thrive. Some money
1 do and can lay up. but not much,
being worth a few hundred pounds
and Q few goods and books and my
dog.
Came Jerome Beatty. the tayle
writer, TO tell me that his cook-maid.
Hannah. having lately run away with
his negro boy and he must return
to hotel fare for cook-maIds are al
most impossible to hire. For a game
of Kelly pool and lost II shillings
which can i'll afford.
To the tinker's shop to buy a part
for my gasoline wagon and on the
way looked in at a haberdasher's
window and bought a fine scarf, pur-
pie and black. very fetching.
To Claridge's for q surprise lunch
con for Col. Hayward who goes
shortly to France. Ny wife, poor
wretch. for a coach ride to Coney
Island with Mrs. K. c. Beaton and
I in the afternoon for a walk through
the town in the high wind which
chafed my lips and made them sore
and home in an ugly humour.
In the evening came gay royster
ers to dance to the music box and
we sang bravely wait for the
Wagon" and Jordan Is a Hard Road
to Travel" very melodious. And
Franklin Kitchen. the musick teacher.

while he discussed musick and the
opera in = the most Intelligent way
ever heard.
AT midnight the maid served hot
bologna, steaming coffee and sand
wiches of ham, very appetizing. And
to bed late.
Theatrical managers have come to
the defense of chorus men on Broad
way to show that they are not slack

In his ultra modish and faultlessly
adjusted attire, he looked the picture
OF benign self-confidence as he seated
himself beside her in q Broadway sur
face car.
She was inordinately pretty, and her
eyes sparkled temptingly as she read
a story in a magazine whose cover de-
sign would not have been accepted by
a religious publication.
He cleared his throat and their eyes
met. Pardon me, but haven't we met
before?" he asked ingrath tinely.
If we have you made such a slight
impression that i don't remember
you." she replied lightly as her eyes
reverted to her magazine. The dub in
the wrinkled suit who sat in tho seat
behind laughed right out loud.
The latest arrival in town f. the
"tigger" glass. which many saloon
keepers are introducing TO guarantee
that no person in the present day
crisis of s5 cent drinks and govern
ment taxes can get over the two and
one half finger mark. The new ar
ticle of glass ware is just trifie more
than the pony glass. Previous 10 ar
irving here the ''jigger" has been the
favorite playmate of the lumber camp
decsnter. Pioneer railroad builders
would not work unless they had a
''iigger boss" who at intervals from a
large Jug issued small drinks TO the
men, using the "jigger'. glass so no
one would be able to cheat in the dis
tribution.
