NEW YORK. Sept. s.-Thoughts
while stroiling around New York !:
A blind troubador singing In front
of vacant house. The first fur
coat. Hope the moths have been
reasonable with mine. A fat,
tweed-cl man. Laughs with the
cut-out open. My landlord. IN
look at him askance. There's an
$50 word. I know another lovely
word. Elan!
Dazzling hybrid types powdering
their faces as they walk. Wonder
IL they powder their knees!. A
fiorid apartment house. Kimona.
clad women--last years ladies'
with white shaggy dogs. The odor
of burning hair. Someone is get.
ting a permanent wave. What New
York needs is more permanent
wives.
Milling and churning humanity.
Among them may be the man who
will alter the worlds destiny, A
lighted lantern beneath ready
made suit. ! mustn't forget that
flea Hniment for my dog. Another
negro musical revue. At IS prices.
The way that fellow is holding that
girl in his automobile would never
get by the censor in Joplin, Mo.
Imagine the real estate agent
IL
villa for winter occupancy. He
doesn't know the half of it. dearie.
Wonder what practical poker sent
him my name. There goes Eleanor
Painter. Ten straps on each side.
And a batik bag. One Of those
noiseless cafes. Soft lights. Whis-
pering garcons and muffled con-
versations. I like the places where
they clatter the dishes. And the
walters won't take any back talk!
A nice shady awning. I'll watch
the chorines tripping to their matt
nees. That cop had no right tc
make me move on. He's fun of
canal water or something. Takes
me for a part of the bourgeois
herd. have an uncle who once
shook hands with Mckinley. Two
drug store windows. One filled
with Harold Bell Wright novels.
And the other with oranges. Ana
not n green or red bottle anywhere.

In the lounging room of the
Lambs a call boy went through
calling: "Mr. Lionel du Frame
and n staggering gentleman who
nd Co. IL ho4 Re
of the swashbuckling actor accept
ed the call Later he returned to
his chair. The call boy entered
again calling Mr. Yonkel Hertz
heimer'-and the same person ac-
cepted the call. Someone had neg
lected to use his stage name in
calling on the phone.
New York husbands are at least
different. A wife in General Ses-
sions related this story OF the de-
sertion by her husband. 81 heard
from him four times" she relates.
The first two letters contained
phony checks, the third pic
ture of another woman in
scribed, This is my ueen." and the
fourth handkerchief with a mes
sage telling me to use it TO cry
with when 1 thought of him"
People who live in New York
know that Riverside Drive is not
the smartest locality. Tho Every
best people" live in the sedateness
of Park or Madison avenues, and
yet Riverside Drive has the reputa-
tion of exclusiveness and class in
outlying sections. The Drive. to
the average New Yorker, is some
thing too profusely embellished-a a
trifle vulgar. And what is more.
the sightseeing buses pass along
there. Think of that, The movies
and the novels of New York life
have given Riverside Drive its
halo. Whenever a gentleman is
mentioned-they refer to his apart
mcnt on the Drive" However. IL is
beautiful thorouGhfare. Charles
Schwab finds it a delightful place
for his palace. w. X. Hearst also
resides there and SO do countless
others whose names are known in
all parts of the world.
