teen theoretical waking hours, nearly

Mostly he prefers to stay home. He
likes quiet, and the pianola in the
apartment above does not really disturb
him; he is used to it. He does not know
anybody else in the apartment house,
though he has been there SIX years. He
knows several hundred people in New
York, many of them prominent, but he
hardly ever sees them. He reads two
newspapers a day to keep informed
about what is going on around the cor
ner. He has to read pretty steadily to
get it all, what with The Law Journal"
and "The New York Supplement-" that
he has to read to keep up with his pro-

on Sunday. They decided, by the way,
to 60 ahead and sell it, and candy, too,

we have ladies' aid societies and "meas-

a music club and dances and things to
which "the young ladies Of the dancing

Walter gets more than that Not quite
enough to get married on, and not quite
little enough to starve on. He buys
good clothes, knows the latest popular
songs, sings them far from badly and
likes dancing. He gets half an hour for
lunch.
He is far from stupid. One day a
kindly old gentleman, passing in front
of the building at noontime, where Wal
ter and several others were chewing
toothpicks, inquired benignly, looking
the place over, How many people work
in this place, young man." To which
Walter promptly replied, ooh, about
half He is New Yorker, no doubt
about that whatever.
His girl, however, lives in Bayonne.
SO when he goes to a dance he takes his
evening clothes down to business and
dresses there. They have a dressing
room for employees. You won't find
that in small towns) On these occa-
sions, when he has seen Alice home. he
just calls it night.

Those Magic
Words

felt horribly guilty when first got
here and noticed the awe and respect
inspired when told people l was from
New York. They wrote me up in their
local paper and the magic words ''New
York played a prominent part in the
article. 1t seemed so absurd, when I
considered that several million people,
including the bootblack, the newsboy
who handed me my evening paper as !
passed up Maiden Lane on my way
home every night, and countless other
odds and ends of humanity who do not
figure in the social register could have
claimed the same glorious privilege.
For of course I don't figure in the social
register either.
Which brings me right down to the
point. Being from New York"
might tlst as we'll be from nowhere at
all. And yet have left lots Of friends
and acquaintance behind me. 7 have

A Yorkvilian may feel that he is at

any inhabitant Of Second Avenue to
walk on Forty-sixth Street from Madi-

he and his ancestors for generations be
born and bred on Second Avenue, in
the wonder city Of New York.
Why not be frank about it? Stop
any Madison Avenue car at random
and line up the passengers on the side

they anything IN common except the
fact that chance, for the moment, has
jostled them together in this particular
