Well. this IS something like real climate. exclaimed 8 pretty girl at he McAlpn thss morning as sho stood and Ie. the icy br,rzes blow through tae 5p.n windows It lures the only III New York suffers rom. this fine cool br,ezr
 The girl was Nils, Louise 5achen. of Koyukuk. Alaska. who arrived in his city last Saturday 10 learn for herself whether or not she would be contented to live In the frozen s5rth for the rest of her life with miners for companions and dog sleds or transportation She found but ,re cause for complaint-the climate Ghfs mornings drop in temperatur, -aged the day for Manhattan
 There Is nothing the matter with New York now that it has shown that lt can be cool enough 10 be somfortable," she said half hour after she greeted the morning with her indorsement She was sitting at breakfast when most of the guests .a the hotel were just beginning to 1akr the last lap of their nights l,ep. and 1t Was hard to believe that she Was not one of New Works onn daughters.
 There was nothing about her to indicate that -he had lived all her lie lu mining camp six days fo4tuoy by dog team north of Fair- banks. with but one ~hire woman as her companion. She looked like debutant, tu all the freshness o1 ne. iir-, aeason and her srocks showed the taste and discrimination ol the true daughter Of Eve.

 It took ne sIA weeks to get here, but it was worth the trip. New York is wonderful and Fifth avenue i, unbelievable Broadway is all right, but it is strangely like big, well staged production of the Main street in Fairbanks Your shows are great but they seemed like the bu1lesque show posters saw in Fairbanks Taxicabs are relief after dog sleds. but my New York is on Fifth avenue.
 'Yes. you've guessed it. The trocks have cinched me and thrown me, never dreamed that women could dress the way New York women dress. Every new dress I see is a revelation. The number of pretty women l have seen here is simply aazing
 oh. but if they wouldn't paint Rouge is so evident and so unbe coming Why don't they get out ir Central Park and romp in the snow Then the roses in their cheeks would be real"
 She refused to declare herself on returning north after her visit. ri is too soon for me to make my plans" she declared There is enough to see to keep me for quite a while and when l do go back want to be sure there is nothing have missed, so that there never will be a thing to regret"
 She was toying with the solitaire again and the last question put tC her was perhaps an unfortunate one
 What do you think of New York men?" she was asked.
 T don't" was her straightforward and staggering response,
 The foregoing story an interview with an alleged Fairbanks girl. was clipped from the New York Sun of January 23. However, as far as can be ascertained, Miss Louise Sa chen is not known here, at least not under that name. The article is illustrated with a picture of the young lady, which those Fairbanks ans who have seen it fail to recog nize as that of anybody who has svel been here
