while stroliing around New York:
A venerable crone with q upsy gig
gle followed by hoodlums. Rex
Beach In a leather hunting coat.
Unwieldy green busses filled with
| tourists. Aristocratic white wolf
hounds with sad eyes. A hurdy-
gurdy playing in front of the Van
derbilt mansion.
Windows with platinum orna-
| ments-white as a hoar frost Dun
| colored housewives stopping to gaze
| on their way to l0-cent stores. Deb
utantes Hooking to morning musi-
| Gale; immutable youth with imper
ishable dreams
Frock coats and chamois gloves.
Walking sticks carried with sus-
| picious carefulness. Mrs. Leslie
Carter in a sky-blue Limousine. Sut-
ton Square-the new social center
| In neighborhood of ash carts and
! prison walls. Plutocrats and stable
boys.
A tug filled with shackled, defect
ed men. Timid, foreign-born chill
dren playing on dump heaps. Street
photographers trying to lure wom-
en- from tenement kitchens. A
sickly odor of garlic and stale cook
| ing. Third floor back furnished
rooms.
Cross-town cars with shawled
women loaded with bundles. A cho-
| rus of whistle blasts frees exhaust
ed loft workers. Clerks stepping
briskly to cafeterias, whistling
their eternal serenades. There's a
new one: Eyebrow Parlor."
Five chop suey joints in a single
! block. And a drug store on the
corner wisely heralds a new dyspep-
sia cure. A Russian woman, with
| all the sorrows of her race in en-
during eyes. patiently rolls ciga-
| rettes in a window and stares dumb
| ly at passersby.
A theatrical agent and producer
were .wrangling over a salary the
latter was to pay an actor. The
producer wanted to pay $3.50 and
the agent asked 5000 week. Final

That's right" he said. BE like
| Hamlet-always trying to get your
| pound of fiesh.'

Fourteenth street, is moving to

purchased the German Lutheran
Church next door to the Selwyn
Theater, a strange church structure
in the midst of eleven theaters on
| one block. Luchow has announces
that when the new place is opened,
he will serve real beer. His idea is
not to sell the ambrosia, but to
serve 1t free to patrons. He doesn't
explain how he expects to get away
with the innovation from a legal
standpoint Luchow's was a meet
ing place for years for German fam
lilies who went there to hear band
concerts and to sip steins of beer.
At New York first nights in a
