New York, Sept. You'll have to
hand it to New York this week for
one thing, nyway A blonde lady who
hovers most mysteriously on the
fringe of the latest movie-and-muder
mystery isn't beautiful. The man who
saw her enter the house where the
fatal duel occurred, says she not
only was not extraordinarily good
looking" but she wasn't even fash
ionably gowned."
The Cline-Walz Bergen shooting
may one day be solved. 1t may be
discovered why the movie nan shot
or didn't shoot the fellow to whom
his wife objected, but one point stands
serene and clear: there exists In the
world a man who can see q blonde
without calling her stylish or pulchri-
tudinous. And the man exists IN New
York. Thus and once again Gotham
breaks aw orld's record.
Yes, and there seems no good rea-
son why this town should not win this
weeks platinum medal on another &C
count also. Gypsies are a wild and
wandering race who love the wild, the
heath, the dell, the glen and the open
veldt. Which is another way OF say
ing that the latest real life drama
Of gypsy revenge is taking place at
One Hundred and Forty-third street
and Harlem river where the rowing
Romantics are comfortably encamped.
Wild Chase for Chieftain
Moreover, the revenge-contrary to
all the best works of fiction-was dis
tinctly on the other foot. 1t appears
that the ambition of every good
gypsy nowadays is to a home in
New York City. Iomo Divado had
realized the ambition and to his home
he invited one of the Romany chief
tains. In an absent minded moment
Divado showed the other gypsy a box
containing $4,000 in gold. The other
the general direction of Divado's eyes
and when Divado got his sight again
the $4,000 had gone away from there.
SO had the other gypsy.
In all the best Romantic fiction. 1t
would be the Romany chieftan who
pursued his enemy till he cornered
him in a remote fastness, where only
the avalanche Numbered and the eagle
screamed. But times have sadly
changed.
Divado pursued the chief through
Brazil and Mexico. He even pursued
him through Chicago and Detroit.
And at last, in the more or less pic
turesque gypsy camp at One Hundred
and Forty-third street, Divad met
once again his pepper throwing
friend.
1t was at a spot where only the
elevated thunders and the shrek of
the motor siren rends the air. 1t
was likewise at a spot where n glad
cry summons the cop from the cor
ner. Divado gave the requisite glad
cry and the pepper shooter languished
presently behind the police head
quarters bars.
The Carlton Fund
Meanwhile, what do you know about
the bells of history? Oh, well. even
if you don't, you haven't anything on

nice bit Of land on Riverside Drive,
near Grants tomb. There is to be a
campanile effect with lots n lots OF
bells-56 in all-which will form a

popular music hither and thither for

fair is a war memorial and 1t Is going
