VAGARIES OF GULF
Stream Worry
BRITISH SCIENTISTS

bergs have been sighted far south
on the trade routes this year. We
attribute this to the Gulf Stream
breaking up the northern ice.
The high sea temperature may
be due TO disturbances below the
bed OF the ocean as well as to
vagaries in the course of the Gulf
Stream. The sharks which have
been caught al different points
round our coasts and the extra
ordinary quantities Of great Jelly
fish which have invaded the Eng
lish Channel were attracted by
the warmth Of our northern waters
this summer.
We have no real knowledge
what is happening deep beneath
the surface of the sea. We can
only conjecture. Scientists, how
ever, seem to think that the Gulf
Stream is disgracefully disorderiy."
II has become a British habit 20
blame the Gulf Stream Tor every

summer Of 1920 and for the hot
summer OF 1921. Various reports
in other years declared that IL

But theirs was a hectic honey

away from Broadway, though her
husband sought to lead her into

But the lure Of the lights Of the
incandescent alley ever called
her back and always she re-
turned.
And always she forsook the old

and the dancing fringe of bo-
hemian society flocked around
her. The superannuated bride

was said, and Broadway was not
inclined to let a gosling so al

for revenge, she got an engage

Edward Alsop filed suit for d.

He charged desertion and she
charged cruelty, calmly asserting
that he was so fervent a lover,

ANN A4ASAS SAeHe~A. 80
"a the hectic life of
IA Effie Pope Hill
Alsop was written a few
days ago when sophis-
ticated Broadway, just re-
covering from the news Of
her poverty-stricken condi-
ton and her removal to
Bellevue Hospital, suffer-
ing from alcoholism and
veronal poisoning, learned
that her one-time husband,
Edward B. Alsop, million
aire retired steel manufac-
turer, had died in Wash
ington in the palatial home
where she once had hoped
to reign as it's chatelaine.
Immediately after the
news of the death of the
aged millionaire palled
upon the white light dis
trict there was some specu-
lation that she would be
membered in his will and
that her said plight might
be obliterated.
But those who remem-
bered the details of the di-
vorce insisted that what
ever settlement had been
made at the time that the
decree was signed had long
since been dissipated by
the young woman, whose
M a y December romance
was blighted in less than
three months.
When they carried the
screaming young woman
out of the ambulance into
Bellevue, with a policeman,
a doctor, and a nurse
struggling with her, a
passerby stared at the
frenzied face beneath the
disheveled, bobbed golden
hair, and exclaimed:
why that's Effie Alsop,
isn't iti'
And his companion re-
piled:
"Effie AlsopY that's a new
one on men
New York forgets so
quickly. Tearing with teeth
and nails at her captors and
shrilling hysterical defiance,
Effie battled like a wildcat
to keep out of the place she
had so long feared-Belle-
vue, with its psycopathic, al
coholic, neurotic and all the
other dread departments.
But it was as though fate
was forcing her in and with
her registration in the ia
nous institution the title Of
the last chapter of another
tragedy of Broadway was
written.
MAY AND DECEMBER.
The tragedy began in the most
metropolitan point on Broadway,
the point where Forty-second
STREET flows across the old thorough
fare. to a thunderous chorus of
traffic turmoil. The story begins
at the switchboard of the old
Knickerbocker Hotel, where Effie
Pope Hill presided ten years ago.
She was nineteen then and hun
dreds ofSnen fluttered around her.
Among them were Hal and Ned
Alsop. youths of nineteen and
twenty. respectively, who had met
the girl in Toxaway. N. c., where
their acknowledgements father
virtually owned the town.
Effie Pope might have married
either of them had she wished, OF
any one of a hundred others. She
was a Georgia girl. daughter of a
Washington physician, and beau.
tiful.
But instead of marrying either
Of the Alsop boys-she married
their septuagenarian father. Broad.
way was startled out of its cynical
indifference that time And Effie
laughed after the ceremony:
Yes, dad really cut the boys out.
He is so witty"
