NEW YORK. June 23.-Thoughts
while strolling around New York;
Ladies in gay jerseys going to the
race course. And men with binocu-
lars thrown carelessly over their
shoulders. There goes Floyd Dell.
He has the face of an idealist The
sticky smell of sun-heated asphalt.
And out in the country the bitches
are filled with primroses and wild
flowers. And chiggers.
A new uplift playhouse. Seats up
holstered in cream leather. And Mt
tings of silver. Gold epergnes for
fresh flowers Fit for a Trotsky
follower or a demi- mondaine. 1t may
attract the intelligenzia, but we Ia
literate will continue to pack the
Follies.
A handful of stragglers going To
noon church services. / think many
preachers would be justified in ac-
cepting stephen Leacock's sugges-
ton. Such as starting a sermon
with: There's a lot of guys in this
congregation who. are boneheads and
tightwads. Now turn to Corinthians
VI dHo " sptSl. "ach
Raymond Hitchcock would lay of
those trick belted suits.
Why does a man with a fat
paunch always drspe il with a mas
todonic watch chain? Even Jack
Dempsey has a wrist watch. Ana
Carpenter wears lavender collars.
A nation of mollycoddles until some
one steps on our dignity. The worst
dressed man in New York writes
fashion notes for men. They say he
makes $4,000 year.
Reuben. the sandwich man. has
opened up a place on Madison ave-
nue.. He furnishes sandwiches by
special uniformed messengers. And
most of his business Is done after
midnight. No wild party is complete
without a flock OF his 81 sandwiches.
Young colored girls are now shin
ing shoes In the public parks. A
legless man shutting his way
through the sidewalk crowds. His
face has that indefinabie expression
that comes only with suffering. Long
lusterless side street blocks. Metro
poiitan canyons of asphalt ana
brownstone, Here men and women
i've. love and die as circumscribed
in their lives As the inhabitants OF a

ugly has place in Gods universe save as put

1t is but form of error by which civilization evil

Goodness; uginess is human error, and there is no
greater builder of moral strength than appreca-

New York clubs bristle with
stories of how walters and head
walters were cstapulated into busi-
ness for themselves in days gone by.
Recently a famous headwaiter sud
denly became the sole owner Of
very gaudy restaurant near Fifth
avenue. He was formerly connected
with an illustrious place on Fifth
avenue. During a rather lively din
ner q young millionaire hurled a
chair out the window and IL landed
on the head Of an amazed pedestrian
on the sidewalk. The waiter rushed
down and took the blame. He paid
the mans doctor bill, gave him
$1,000 and lost his job. But he felt
he had done the right thing. His
new cafe is the answer.
Big hotels have had to stand many
heavy damage suits due to the stu
pidity OF house detectives. One no.
tel recently has waged war on fash
fonably gowned women who occupy
deep leather chairs in the foyer and
halls ostensibly to wait on luncheon
or dinner companions, but in reality
to solicit. 1t requires much tact 20
handle this problem. A certain lady
known to me visited one OF the big
hotels lately to meet some people
from her town. She is a striking
brunette and dresses rather fsshily,
but her reputation is spotless. Due
to poor eyesight she went around
the hotel foyer looking closely into
each face. She was tapped on the
arm. Say" said a voice, the
wagon is waiting outside for your
His police jargon was Greek to her.
She supposed he was an attendant
informing her that her car awaited.
Before she could reply. he continued:
DO your street walking outside"
She understood. Then she got the
manager. had her friends PACED and
sure enough they were awaiting her.
She has a keen sense of humor. The
manager made the house detective
apologize. She said that was not
enough. Every day for two weeks,
she demanded. he must call her up
and apologize. And every morning
he does that very little thing. She
has an idea he is going to be mighty
careful IN the future.
