JOYFULLY HUGS GIRLS,
AND GOES TO JAIL
NEW YORKER DISPLAYS REAL
LOVE FOR LADIES. BLAMES
THE COOL WEATHER.
BY LESSEE Henderson.


NEW YORK, N. Y.-There are
many ways of expressing JOY when the
Temperature drops, but there is one
which the police do not permit. Louis
Camaraderie-prophetic name-discov-
tered this when his JOY took the form
Eof hugging every girl he met in the
first half hour of the cool spell.
Camaraderie, beside being tailor,
is dwarf so tiny that he had to stand
on chair in the magistrates court
when arraigned. Fancy yourself, a
nonchalant milliner, 20 years old, stroll
ing calmly down Broadway on placid
summer morning Fancy yourself, fur
Their, being collided with by bunch
of enthusiasm about the size and force
of cannon ball, which leaped at you
| from the pavement, suddenly evolved
arms and legs, and proceeded to en-
Irvine itself around your reluctant neck
where it hung while you stood Shrek
ing. Only thus can you fancy the emo
tons of Miss May Levine, one of the
ladies encountered by Camaraderie in
! his delirium of delight. Miss Levine
was borne, shrieking, to a hospital and
treated for violent Mysteries. Camara-
derie was borne, wildly protesting, to
q police station and treated for plain
disorderly conduct
I'D been better off if the weather
stayed hot" said Camaraderie, as his
bail was fixed at $500.
Yet human nature might be forgiven
few idosycracies when dame nature
herself goes silly with the heat. A
streak OF lightning, for example, dash
ed through a window and shaved a
mans head neatly and with thorough
ness. When all was over he had SUI
fered only the loss of his hair and the
gain of a blister on his scalp.
Don't Appreciate Vacation.
But for freakishness, dame nature is
outclassed by the board of education.
This proved true when fifteen boys
were hauled before a judge for the
shocking ofense of having broken into
the high school building for swim in
the pool. The sensible judge discharg-
ed them with the remark that the boys
showed more sense than the city,
which locked them out.
Let nature, however-both human
and outdoor-be freakish while she
may. Things will be quiet to dread
full normally when Noah Webster
Cooper, of Tennessee, gets New York
properly subdued. Mr.. Cooper arrived
in town abolishing Sunday newspapers,
trains, restaurants, baseball, picture
shows, bathing and telephones. II his
crusade is a success New Workers.
idea of an exciting Sabbath will be to
cross the right hand over the LETT and
rccite the Nineteenth amendment. Pos
sibly the drop in temperature, so riot
iously celebrated by Camaraderiey re-
suited from the attitude of New York
toward this latest move for bluest
Sunday.
Meanwhile, undisturbed by other
crusades, the Bronx housewives have
Estarted a drive to lower the price OF
thread. The drive takes the form most
practical under the circumstances. 1t
involves a pledge from members OF
the Bronx Housewives League to bake
their. own bread until prices ~ drop:
When has a home made loaf OF bread
been seen in New York? Not within
the memory OF modern man. Let the
| housewives leagues beware lest they
luciously start something they cannot
finish, whether the prices drop OF not.
| There exists a tacit understanding
among employers that stenographers
with bobbed hair shall not be hired.
After the first fury, tacit understand
/ ing spread among the stenographers.
There are now several hair dressers
who display sign:
Camoufage Bobbed Hair.
"Wigs for rent" Miss Stenog slams
wig over her bobbed locks, lands
her lob. wears a wig for fortnight
and then when the job is safe discards
the rented tresses. The only way to
1bc sure, nowadays, of hiring sure
enough long haired girl is to catch her
locks in your cuff buttons and give
quick jerk.
Diamonds have recently become so
much a part of daily life that Brook
lvn woman hid $4,000 worth in the
toes of pair of old shoes and then
forgot them. This might indeed have
fooled the burglars except that the
absent minded lady sent the shoes to
be repaired. The diamonds have not
since been seen.
Wealth, anyway you look at it, is an
elusive thing. You'd imagine the state
! income tax on the highest office build
| ing in the world might be sufficient
altitude to command respect from the
proletariat. Yet imagine the feelings OF
the man in the street, dripping with
the effort to pay his own $50 income
assessment, when he learns that the
state income tax turned in by the
! Woolworth estate was $28.4l. Some
clause about residence, coupled with
the death of Mr.. Woolworth, accounts
for the discrepancy between what the
administrator turned in and the So
I26o.02 which the state bureau expected.
