Let us give our mothers the flowers
while we have them with us, not only
on Mothers Day but all the year round,
the flowers of Love, kindness, gratitude
and remembrance. The beautiful an

a much more fitting celebration for
May day than many Of the cities
where Boisheviki did the celebrat-
ing 1t was the fifth wedding ami
versary of the Sessue Hayakawas.
One could just imagine that this
talented couple from the land Of
cherry blossoms would choose May
day for their wedding ceremony.
Upon this fifth anniversary they
held a large dance at their home
and right here it may be mentioned
that they are among the most pop
ular couples in the entire film col
ony Their luncheons, dinners and
all their social affairs are always
forward to with great de-
light by the rest Of the actor folk.
Their anniversary dance started
early in the evening and ended at
rather late hour the next morning.
Mr.. Hayakawa disregarded the fact
that the fifth anniversary was the
wooden" one by giving Tsuru
Aoki his wife, a gorgeous diamond
and platinum bar pin.

Scenes in Williamsburg, where
the latest thing in strikes has
just been staged. Nearly 1000
tenants went on strike, refusing
to pay the rent raise dictated
by their landlord. They Or
ganized, appointed one of their

He Vas Out

1t so happened that Mr.. Lehman
was out-out graphing a Graco-
Roman bout with an injunction
which sought to guarantee to the
waiter one of his deadliest weapons
that Of the right to picket. We
learned that unless a waiter on
strike is privileged to picket he feels
that it is just so much time wasted.
He could hang around the clubhouse
and play auction pinochle and drink
black coffee, but too much pinochle,
like too many partridges, VIII in due
course ruin the most voracious ap-
petite. Black coffee is all right if it
is coffee.
1t is in picketing that the striking
waiter feels he is contributing mo-
tive power to his cause and, with
sign in his hat and one pinned to his
back, marching forth and back in

fiint-hearted proprietor who couldn't

waited for stroetcars to take them
home and the landlords waited for
an automobile the landlords offered
a settlement
"Well let it go at a $3.50 in
crease" they said.
The tenants, placed in a receptive
mood by the fresh air, agreed.
Next afternoon at 5 o'clock the
session reopened in the Municipal
Building to determine the details of
the settlement. Mr.. Friedman,

Finally he dug out a woman's hand

Their Lair

The clubhouse Of the walters is a
three-story structure, architectural
ly designed about the Draft Riot or
Civil War period Of New York his
tory. 1t was with utmost difficulty
that The Tribune reporter succeeded
in getting into it at all. For one
thing, the visitors looked less pros
porous than union walters on strike
and their tailors had committed the
objectionable omission of forgetting
to construct their coats with high
pointed lapels and slash pockets
with a row Of pearl buttons running
up the sleeve from the cuff. These
sartorial inequalities led to general
suspicion and doubt which were be-
yond the power of the colored hat
band of the artists straw to allay.
1t became embarrassingly and Gu
mulatively evident, once within the
sanctum Of the walters, that the
visitors were suspected of being
somehow associated with the bour-
geois-or the hated proprietor.
There was unbelief in the walters
eye and something of that disdain-
full expression which is called up
when a diner consumes a 60-cent
dinner and hides lone nickel in
the folds of his capacious napkin.
Something was wrong
Is Mr.. Lehman in?"
