Talk of Devotion to East
Side Might Not Satisfy
Populace.
BLAME PUT ON VALET
But Itchee Can't Take RespOn-
sibility for Flying Limou-
sine and Huge Diamond.

"You take it on the East Side and
It's different" said the Duke of Essex
street yesterday. looking ruefully at
his Palm Beach suit and then gazing
meditatively upon a largo diamond
stud bulging from a silk shirt front.
you shouldn't have too much money,
no. sir, when you are running for Of
fee"
Palm Beach suits are all right at
Palm Beach, and they are all right,
too. understand me, at Long Beach.
which Is much nearer home and has
got better beach, which is why live
there, although you can say for me
that still have my residence at SIS
Riverside Drive, which is one Of the
real classy neighborhoods with Al
real estate all around"
But as you were saying. Mr..
Levy"
Yes, as / was saying" continued
the Duke, still cycling dolefully the
crowd that clustered outside of the Es-
Wv
careful these days-a aristocrat has
got to be at the same time democrat,
even II. as I say, he started in Essex
street and continued his way to River
side Drive and then become a summer
resident at the swellest bathing beauty
beach the other side of Coney Island"
Heart Throbs for East Side.
TT was understood that you made a
speech. an address of some sort, Mr
Levy"
You can say that my heart throbs for
the East Side" said the Duke. who Is
a candidate for Mayor of Second Ave-
nue. in the impending election, with bal
lot boxes and stump speeches and
everything. The Hon. Joe Levy had
just made what he regarded as n tacti-
cal error. and. accustomed as he is to
being interviewed upon matters of mo-
lnent, his whole appearance indicated 4
broodirg over the fact that slight
faux pas might be the cause of q lost
election. 1t is no small matter to have
achieved the title of Duke Of Essex
street and to be at the same time the
Mayor of Second Avenue. and on top OF
these two achievements to have town
and country houses in admittedly classy
localities.
The Duke commutes. And 1t was a
great mistake. he admits, to have come
TO town yesterday in his Stutz limousine
and to have at the same time worn his
Palm beach suit and shirt adorned with
the headlight diamond. In addition to
this the Dukes japanese man servant,
ltchee. accompanied him and preceded
him to open the door as the Duke
alighted moment to attend to some
affairs at the Essex Market Court.
Yes" continued the titled resident of
Long Beach. II will have to admit tina {
my greeting was not exactly what a
gentleman would expect. Somebody be-
gan to sing Where Did You Get That
Suit?' and then there was a lot of
hollering. The Dock. The Dock" which

Puts Blame ON valet.
The Duke. 1t appears. stopped on tho
steps for moment and made an ad-
dress to his friends. who In spite OF the
heavy disguise had given him instant
recognition. He said he was forced re-
gretfully to admit that he was wearing
Palm Beach suit but he made II clear
In emphatic tones that the fault lay
with his faithful valet. Itchee. who had
