 New York, April 30.-(Special.)- )-There are many kinds of women in this quaint world, and kinds were conspicuous III New York during the week. They ranged from the woman who picked the trafflc policeman as her mate to the motherly soul arrested for distributing red circu- lars calling on every honest workman to kill at least one capitalist upon May Day; There was the woman who introduced the handbag flask, the society woman who started beauty parlor, the woman who started riot, the millionaires wlie who loved him even when his wealthy hand slung her kerslam into the midst ol he toilet articles on her dressing taple' | There was a woman who posed 1alselg as correspondent, the woman who thihNs she can get Barnard college girls to wear | long skirts and low heels, and the woman who arrived at the civil service offices | just 20 minutes too late to file her appli- cation for $7,500 job. This has been wide, high week for feminines.
 Three weddings take place in June be- cause the corner at Broadway and Cham bers street is so congested. The flrse traffic officer smiled at a candy shop manager who risked the crossing daily The second snatched another business woman from the path of a truck. The l third was lifting a motor car which had l collided with another machine, when soft voice remarked at his elbow: My but you're strong!" Just such nttie things as this lead to such big things as that. Romance? The towns full of H. WOMEN FLASK TOTERS The newest woman, she of the handbag flask, became known through speech by Mrs. Owen Kildare of the brand-new American Peoples league. The league met at the Commodore to fight blue laws and in the course of the evening-during which telegrams came from Pershing, Thomas Edison and Secretary of the Navy Denby-Mrs. Kildare said women were toting flasks in their handbags, in a spirit of bravado." So there.
 Mrs. Governeur Morris. wife of the author, is the society woman who started beauty parlor. Only last week Mrs. Lydig Hoyt entered the movies because she wearied of social enaties For this same reason Mrs. Morris announced that she is going to make the world a so much better place to live in. Even the debutante, it appears, needs things to preserve her skin. The idea is that you train up skin in the way it should go, | and when you are old it will not depart from you.
 But the woman who started a riot made even more of stir. She was among the 40 witnesses in an everyday divorce suit and with the rest of them 1 had left the courtroom for the street when the hair of a male witness proved a temptation. After the lady had removed a fistful two of the gentleman's hair, one thing led to another, and when the | police arrived there were 1000 partici- pants with 40 witnesses as an acute storm center. All the fighting in di- vorce case. however is not in or around the courtroom. The Stokes case proved this when Mrs. w. F. D. Stokes read from her faithful dairy how Twill
 smashes the dishes at breakfast ano how a left hook sent her reeling across | the dressing table. But, said Mrs. Stokes | for quite a while after that she con- l tinued to live with him because she | loved" him.
 MILLIONAIRES MARROW | Two youths, by the way are under ar rest for attempted blackmail In the Stokes tangles. One is a 17-year-old Swedish student who, though he came to l this country only 19 months ago, seems to have learned rapidly. A method was to ask for car fare to Denver, where an | important letter could be obtained An | other was merely to threaten a million | aire with death, and you got $500. Also | unfortunately, you might get five years | Millionaires refuse to take a broad out look on life, especially when it's their life | that's threatened.
 There are other by-products of divorce. | For instance. the Job of pretending to | be correspondent. A woman friend O. the wife In recent case did this, al- l though to less altruistic souls this fill l ing in just to obige a friend is carrying
 friendship bit far.
