Mrs. w. H. Metzdorf is entertaining
the members of her bridge club with a
party at Lake View. The guests left
Friday and will return this evening.
There were ten i in the party.
Manhattan is used to seeing a good
many rather remarkable sights" says
Lucy Jeanne Price, but often simple
pastimes arouse its curiosity to the
boiling point. The other day a per-
fectly sane looking man was wading
on the rocks at the base of the Battery
sea wall, near the customs house, and
the sight of this usually more rural
indulgence right there at the foot of
Broadway was too much for the pass
ersby. Every sort of explanation was
discussed among the crowd that gath
cred to watch him. Looking for
CLAIMS; hunting for his pipe that must
have dropped from the wall above;
rumors of washed up treasures, and
everything else that the prosaic hui
man ina gination can conceive. Finally
the wader griped the rocks and
greeted him. Did you find it? Find
what?" he asked. What you were
looking for" Il wasn't looking for
anything" he said. THE doctor pre-
| scribed that I wade in salt water to
cure rheumatism. I'm doing it in the
| nearest salt water I can find to my
office"
Anyone who looks upon New York
as cold. mind-your- own business
| city; should talk to Lucinda Flynn, of
! Life" No one can tell the story like
Miss Flynn, but it's pretty good even
at second hand. She was lunching at
when a brisk, commanding woman
took the seat opposite her. "What is
| that you are eating?" crisply she
asked. Cheese souffle," murmured
Miss Flynn. 'Is it good ?" 'eNo. It's
cold and the cheese is too strong"
Really" exclaimed the woman. "And
notice you have eaten soup. You
shouldn't do that at luncheon. It's
really quite bad for you.'' Miss Flynn
murmured again-to the effect that
she liked soup at lunch. you seem
an interesting sort of person" said the
sociable one. do you mind If look
at you thru my glasses?' % mot at
ALL" replied the y-this-time-subdued
Miss Flynn. wouldn't you like to
join my luncheon club?" was the next
startling query. There are Just
twelve. But one of the members died
and I should like to have you fill the
vacancy" "Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not
a club-joining person at all. I'm SO
busy too. m sorry" apologized the
member of LIES staff. That's quite
all right. Any number of people are
very anxious to join it. Do you ever
parade? wouldn't you like to march
in my parade? By the way what is
your name?" Lucinda Flynn" she
said meekly "And may I ask what
is yours?" thinking she would like to
do something except answering the
catechis1n. "Oh! Really Don't you
know me?' exclaimed the catechisins
woman. I'm Mrs. John -" Well
won't tell it, but it was an exceed
ingly we'll known name in New York
club circles. will you join our pa.
race?' Again Miss Flynn had to muir
muir regretful declination and fled be-
fore any more questions or exclama-
lions could be forthcoming.
