NEW YORK, April 1s.-A war has
broken out among the society gos-
sip weekIies. Ralph Waldo Emer-
son Joyce. who for years has dug
up delectable bits for Town Topics,

$500, 900 damages. He is aldo star0

known as Gossip.

petual state of fear who were play

Joyce was the star reporter-the
camera eye of social dolngs and
misdoings. He knows every mem
Der of society by sight and he had
| habit of appearing in the most un-
expected places much to the discom-
fture of many who were engaging
In shady liasons.
He declared he left Town Topics
| voluntarily to start a new weekly.
| And he further alleges that Town
| Topics came out with a warning
| about him that was calculated to
| do him damage. Mrs. Mann's
daughter replied that he was dis
missed for the good of the service.
In the meantime the public is eX-
pected to get light on just how
| Town Topics reporters go about to
| get the salacious stories that are
read by trembling victims in dark
ened boudoirs. The Four Hundred
has always lifted supercilious
eyelid at Town Topics.
And yet there is scarcely a lady's
maid in the homes of bluebloods

The society weeklies have an un-
canny way of foretelling important
| events. The Stillman divorce was
predicted by one a year ago when
not even intimate friends suspected
any differences There is a story
that a certain weekly kept one re-
porter following a certain rich New

| anything touching upon scandal
was discovered. But a trip to At
lantic City with the reporter on the
same train finally brought about
the desired result.
Bert Leaston Taylor, B. l. T, the
humorist. really began his journal

friend OF his fathers and had in

Tim thought of this and more,

shouldn't he, OF all persons, play?
Gradually reason overcame
