New York, March 27.-Thoughts
while shopping with the wife along
Fifth avenue: That athletic look
ing guy Is Tape, the man miHiner.
Comes from Sidney, Ohio. Wonder
what a man milliner thinks about
Hope the wife skids by that fur
place. She's going to hook me for
that neck piece yet. The income, tax
stall may work.
/ That makes the sixth monocle
George Arliss has got his eye all
pulled out of shape with one of
those things. Still I'd like to wear
one on Vine street in Cincinnati,
1t would make all the boys leave
Murphy's.
That's Charles NJ Schwab dining
in the third window at Sherry's.
He's drinking milk. Poor Old Law
ender Joe! Still on the Job. 1 never
saw him make a sale. Queer look
ing crowd coming out OF Helen
, Gould's home. Some look like shop
girls and some like aristocratic
snobs. Suppose it's a meeting OF
some kind.
Never fail to see William r
Hearstson the avenue at o'clock
He must go in for afternoon walks
The old cocktail hour will soon be
thing of the past. Why do peo-
pie always walk on the west side
OF the avenue? Some reason for
that.
Lot of natty dressers wearing caps
il the afternoon. Won't suggest it.
The wife would kill the idea quick
| Guess I'll suggest soda water
Twenty-Five cents a throw now
Never could understand why they
don't put signs on fifth avenue.
Mercantile snobbery.-
That's Dicky Davis wife, Bessie
Mccoy. Funny how people thought
he was a snob. Because he was
built like a gladiator, went in for
walking sticks and wore socks.
once saw him soothe q tired clerk
around Xmas time. Used to buy q
quart Of ink at a time.
That reminds me. Haven't seen a
cane this afternoon. Used to be in
separable from art Only East Side
hOrsey types. Some dash to that
doll in red. No harm in looking
Gosh, l ran right into that fat wo-
man. Now my wife's bawling me
out. I'm going to beat it for the
family shack.
There is going to be a mighty
rush for Europe this summer. The
exodus will begin early in May
Nearly everywhere one goes there
are folk getting ready for a trip
over London town, Paris and the
battlefields. Before the war clerks
in department stores used to spend
their vacations abroad. 1t cost
them no more than going to one OF
! the summer resorts and it was q
good thing to refer tor to which
| to refer II you do not believe in end
ing a sentence with a proposition.
A new member OF the Sixty
seventh street artistic colony -
Henry Give. He is one OF the most
versatile young men New York has
entertained for some time. He has
just left the stage under contract
to draw covers for magazines. Give
is an Englishman who has been sue
Cessful in both Lsndon and New
York. In vaudeville he presented q
ICombination of magic and mono
| lOgue. Also he plays ten different
musical instruments and hates pars-
nips and thinks artlchokes are silly
There is young writer in Gram
"rcy Park who sold his first short
story tu" other day to n reputable
magaziu-. He also sold the moving
! picture rights. The most rema rk-
! able thing about his success was
that he formed the plot of his story
as he went along. He also violated
I all tho set short story writing rules
and yet his story sold. The regions
Of Gramercy Park have produced
| five new first class fiction writers
this winter.
