Those young men with one-button
coats, slashed high in the back, bowler
little dsrbies and wild peeping hand
kerchfefs. who loaf in front OF the
Palace Theater on Broadway. are an
amazing lot. The handsome corner
cop, who chases them away every now

he could learn not q one worked.
They begin drifting out of the side
street rooming houses about 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, when the sun is the
warmest on big highway. They
remain along the curb talking high

the best tables in the cafes.
A marcelled moving-picture hero in
q jet buttoned suit Of evening clothes
with a velvet collar, entered the main
'dining-room OF the Waldorf the other
evening at the peak Of the dinner
hour. Everything was primed for his
Aentrance. The orchestra near the door
had been plentifully tipped to strike
up o Romeo type OF song. The cellu-
loid hero registered every moment.

about town who sat at one OF the
tables.
One OF the enterprising Testaura-
teurs of New York is Walter 0uz-

gastronomic wants Of Fifth avenues
bluebloods. He recently leased q large
dining-room and cafe In a hotel.
Among his FIRST Innovations was the
Introduction Of "antiseptic money"
All old money was secured in a silver
polishing machine and then placed in
an antiseptic solution before given TO
guests. Not a germ theory" said
GuzZardi. II don't believe in germs.
You can look at a horse and 1t doesn't
follow il will kick you. The same ap-
plies to germs. The whole thing Is a
matter Of cleanliness. A restaurant
should be the cleanest place in the
world"
