NEW YORK. May Ia page
from the diary OF modern Samuel
Pepys: Lay late. G. worts, the
tayle-writer, come to breakfast and
mighty pleasant to hear him talk
Of China. Busy sorting my books
and think to buy no more. This
day / heard high scandal OF
young man of riches. not before
thought a wastrel.
Afoot through the town and sat
awhile watching N. Wayburn re-
hearse a musick show. the. ladies
being attired in bloomers, their
legs bare. And heavens how much
they do paint red on their faces.
And one ugly lass puffed at
cigar with no shame soever.
Rode in underground tram to
Sheepshead there light and walked
on the beach to watch the bathers.
Thence to a luncheon of spit pull
let, and back to the city to a pri-
vate showing of Nero" the best
film ever / saw.
see a show played by cartoonists
and all merry in especial G. Nc
Manus. Walked home in the brave
moonshine and so to bed.
1t is not generally known but
one of the brightest magazines ap-
pealing to the pieasure-loving
crowds of New York is writ
ten by one man. He writes of the
bright lights, the yogis of the
flesh, the lobster halls and the the
alter. His is a philosophy of cheer
fulness and scintiIlating wit and
satire. 1t is all written from a cell
In Western prison.
Burns Mantle. the critic with the
Welsbach name, was dining the
other day with a Broadway boule-
vardier by the name of I. C. Snow.
And Tommy Gray. the White WAY
wit. passed the table without
cracking a single pun.
Silver white. hair for young men
in their thirties. The ringside
tables at the supper clubs are dot
ted with youths who have actually
had their hair stained white and
their eyebrows black. A we'll
known man milliner was the first
to appear in this fashion. He for
merly had red hair. Now all the
kampus kut clothes boys are rush
Ing to celebrated wig maker who
has discovered a process OF silver
ing the hair over, night. Husband
spatching happers with their baby
stares were hooted when they be-
gan to dip their locks in henna.
But somehow the cake-eaters who
silver their hair are not scorned at
all. They discuss the. new fad
quite openly. Most Of the youths,
Of course, are world-weary young
men who have generous allowances
and do not go to offices. The, fash
ion strikes the hardest blow at the
frosty-haired clubmen who came
out of mid-Victorian retreats sew
eral years ago and began to dye
their white heads black.
A critic sounds this shuddering
query: what would happen to art
IL Kitty Gordon should scald her
back?
Bat Maquire, the famous Times
Square newsboy, Is said to be the
angel for successful drama
with a high browish fair. Bat
knows all the actor folk. He never
accepts cash for his newspapers
but at the end of the. month sends
out bills. He has made many good
investments and owns a manufac-
turing plant in New Jersey. He
roams the theaters as freely as the
critics without ever paying admis-

of the younger generation to call

early ambitions for fistic honors.
He has proved himself friend in
need to many who have struck
shoals upon Broadway's uncharted
