"Long Haired Musicians" Turn
Ont To Be Shirt Makers

He knew where to go; any magazine
would tell. Up and down Washington
Square and through Greenwich Village
he wandered, looking for Bohemia;
looking for long-haired musicians, peer
ing in doors and listening for the shut
file of rollicking heels. But he found
them not. Washington Square ne
could not tell from Tompkins Square,
save by the signs, and when he stopped
old and respected citizens they would
not tell him where Bohemia lay. They
had read of it, and although they had
lived on the Square well on to forty
wears they were not exactly sure.
Long-haired musicians he stopped and
asked where Bohemia was, to find them
TO be shirt-makers, and artists In limp
collars he stopped to find that they

back: came back with the methodlty oil
an endless conveyer, accompanied Dy
letters the burden of whose theme was
sorrow and regret.
Studying why his stories came pacK'
he hit upon a solution. He was writing
stories about the groceryman and Tom
Brovles. who never had been very
strong since his wife had inherited her
fathers farm, and about Annie Dllts,
who played the piano every night at the
Fern and who put her soul into the
music when Francis Bushman came on
he was writing about home folks
when the magazines wanted stories OF
long-haired musicians and artists IN
soft collars. That was what they want
ed-stories of New York Bohemia,
where people danced on the table and
said daring things. So he resigned and
came to New York to lose himself IN

Nor were sailors free from danger
