NEW YORK, March s.-A page
from the diary of a modern Samuel
Pepys: Up betimes and at my poor

gator which will not eat. Walking
through the Mall I watched the
children play and on a sudden no.

which upset without hurt. A chill
wind holds the city but in my last
years coat 1 was pretty well at
ease and looked very noble.
At the park entrance a man was
flung by a horse and some one said
1t was Jim Powers, the play actor,
but he limped away without help.
Coming back toward my house I
saw young Cornelius Vanderbilt

how it would be to live in such

being in Europe two years and of
desperate conditions there. Saw.

so to bed.
New York pawnshops these days
are revealing all sorts Of pledged
articles. During the war flush
period the pawn shops were almost
deserted. False teeth, Hrutches, baby
rings and lockets-the last articles
usually to be pawned-are now GO
ing over the counters. There is
one article that Is never pawned, so
the brokers say. That is a golf
stick. 1t is a moneyed mans game
and for that reason golf enthusi-
asts very seldom have to pay a
visit to Uncle.
1t used to be when along Broad
way a man over-indulged and
wanted to confess he would ex-
plode: Boys. I'm tighter than an
owl" Then they'd take him to the
Turkish bath. Now he says: Boys,
I'm sitting prettyw 1t is one of
the strange phrases that bobs up
into popularity in the haunts where
new slang distinguishes one. 1t is
nonsensical as all the rest, but it
finds an instant appeal.
Nervous folk. the doctors say, are
avoiding walks on Fifth avenue
since the new traffic regulations.
The sudden quiet of the avenue
when trafic comes to a halt is
said to have a peculiar psychologi-
cal action on frayed nerves. Even
TO the nerveless the effect Is eerie.
The roar Of a thousand motor cars
suddenfy stills. Life itself seems
to have halted. Then as the lights
flash from tower to tower. the up-
rear 10 unleashed and the street
becomes a mad hurly burly of ex-
cftement.
A storm Is brewing in the
authors League of America. The
members are to wage war on maga-
znes that do not give the author
the right to dispose Of the moving
picture privileges. In many in
stances 1t has been found that
magazines have made twice the
amount they paid for a story by
selling II to the movie producer.
The authors intend to boycott such
magazines.

SOLDIERLY FIGURES ARE
LOSING THEIR SYMMETRY

London, May 3O.-The tailors say
that the former soldier is losing his
soldierly figure. His chest which, III
wartime, was where a soldiers chest
ought to be, has now slipped down 10
where it ought not to be and his waist
measurement has developed extern
sively.
The result. is that the beautiful
figure of the man of 1919 has become
rare and fatness and flabbiness, say
the tailors, have taken the place of
thinness and muscle.
at makes my regimental heart
bleed to see the sloppy way in which
former soldiers now carry them
selves" said one who served as a SER
geant tailor in the war. Look at that
old tape measure hanging on the wall.
Note the finger marks about the 80
inch line. That was the average
measurement of the war waist. Com
pare it with the finger marks on this
peace measure which shows that the
present waist it from SO to 40 inches.
My customers used to be like the let
ter l. Today they are like an s."
