NEW York. Oct. s.-A page
from the diary Of q modern. Sam
uel Pepys: Lay late and then up
to salute Allen Dwan, the cinema
director. newly come from the
West. and talked of divers affairs.
Came Bozeman Bulger. too. and all
merry.
strolled through Central Park,
my head full of fne thoughts of
work I intend to do and sat awhile
at the lake edge to watch the chill
dren with their sailboats and sad
at thoughts of old age. Lunched
alone On the balustrade at the
Savoy.
Home and at my labours and by
and by Meredith Nicholson came to
chat and then to the pier to well
come r. Long and his bride home
from Europe.
In the evening to dine with e.
Roose and the benzine buggy he
which affrighted us but no hurt.
But Lord! the gaping crowds.
Talked long with Attorney General
Daugherty's son Draper and so
homo and to bed.
There are times when r 90 on
an onion orgy at a little beefstealk
palace near the Winter Garden
onion soup, steak smothered with
| onions and onion salad. So my
| sympathy was deeply stirred in one
| of the intimate French places the
| other night when a mild-mannered
| gentleman dining alone whispered
his order to the naughty waiter
captain With a shrug the captain
fairly shouted: I'VE do not serve
garlic in here. the place is too
| small"
Even In New York It Is some
times dangerous to go In for ex-
travagance. There Is a broker
downtown who had built up an
enormous business and was a men,
ber OF the exchange. Some months
ago he gave a dinner in a Fifth
avenue hotel which was done with
Louis XIV prodigality. The serv-
ice was gold. there were rare
wines and cordials and a thirty
six-piece brass band furnished the
music. AS a dinner 1t was a fes-
tive knockout. His guests were
all his customers. They waited a
sufficient length of time SO as to
appear courteous and then one by
one they closed out their accounts.
A few weeks ago the brokers'
house went down with a crash.
Here is a tribute to Broadway
from young man who came to
New York bright with promise u
few years ago. He was rosy
checked and corn-fed and full of
enthusiasm for the new worlds he
hoped to conquer. He swung into
the Broadway paths and touched
the high spots. His post card be-
fore me reads: MY medico said
Arizona for me. And here / am
at an elevation Of $3.50 feet. That
is what Broadway did for me-"
When Coney Island closed with
it's annual Mardi Gras a few weeks
ago. an aged man went the rounds
of the side show resorts to say
farewell to his associates. He Is
| leaving Coney Island forever and
returning to his home In Germany
to spend the rest OF his days. He
is Max Dreicer. who has for many
years exhibited trained fieas at the
| famous resort. He was at one
time a circus acrobat but an ac-
| cident made him a cripple and so
| he drifted about with street car
| nivals and finally landed at Coney
| Island. where he appeared season
| after season. He was asked what
| he intended to do with his fleas.
| He only smiled.
There is rare sense in a placard
| at the doorway of Broadway
cabaret It reads: "Wanted-Coat
| Room Check Girls. No gigglers
| need apply" Those who have been
| sniggered at by coat room girls
appreciate the wisdom of the man
| agement.
