new YORK. - III was during tne lTSt
real blizzard New York has expert
enced this winter, and the two girls
were raising their voices to overcome
the subway rattle. Going to Flor
ences?" asked the smaller girl. mo,
ineed not on a day like this replied
the other with exceeding emphasis.
I'm going to The Fosters They rent
a furnished apartment, you know
The small girl blinked and one could
understand her perplexity at the con-
nection between furnished apartments
and days like this" Her companion
grasped it, too. "Why, never wear
overshoes," she said, Just never. And
my friends who own the rugs on their
floors just LOATHE seeing me COM
ing when its snowy or muddy. There's
no way of getting it all off my feet,
you see. NEVER go anywhere but
to the Fosters in bad weather. They
sublet the rugs along with the rest
of the things"
Secretary of State Colby probably
feels as though any really crucial
trouble for his Office might wait now
until after March 4, so long as that
date of his passing is so near anyhow.
And he just having come back from
South America, and all that. But some
have no hearts and no mercy, it would
seem. So right here in thees last days
fhis time, test case has been
hurled at him of the woman's-own-
name-on-her passport. Mrs. Haywood
Broun, wife of New York writer, who
says that the name of Ruth Hale hav-
ing ben hers from childhaad, remains
hers even now, wants to go abroad,
But she insists that the passport she
goes with call her plain Ruth Hale e.
The State Department has issued, al
ter some discussion the passport in
the name of Mrs. Haywood Broun and
the doughty Miss Male. Mrs Broun
has returned it. 1t is now up to Secre-
tary Colby himself.
The ancient legend immortalized by
Eugene Sue under the title OF The
Wander Jew will be produced on the
stays next season by David Belasco
and A. L. Arlanger. The dramatic ver-
sion has been one of the sensational
sccesses of the season in London
where Metheson Lang has appeared in
the title role since September. MT.
Belasco will direct the entire produc-
ton here and it is reported that 1t Will
establish a record even for his work.
A large and distinguished cast is
promised, although no names have
been announced for it as yet.
She was standing on the subway
platform chewing gum with an earn
estness which somehow gave an i'm
preston that she really was concen-
trating on that activity rather than
making it incidental to life. And she
didn't look like persistent gum
chewwer either. Then it was noticed
that she was holding a French heel
in one hand. In a minute off came a
pump. Sure enough, it was heelless.
The gum was removed from her
mouth, spread well over the place
where the heel ought to go, the high
wooden heel jammed into place, and
she took there for a minute swinging
that foot, apparently to dry the glue"
before going on her way.
Makeup" and elaborate DISCUSSES
for detectives have rather gone out OF
custom, if, in fact, they ever had a
real place there. The average de-
tective put on his hat and gots forth
to detect just as he does when he goes
to eat. But there's one squad in New
York that pretty nearly goes the melo-
drama one better when it comes to
facial preparation for its work. It's
the drug squad. In the room at head
quarters used by the trailers ofdrug
smugglers there is all the parapher-
MALTA of the most ambitious young ac-
tor in the way of cosmetics, grease
PAINT and powder. The men who have
snont q considerable mart of their lives
