drawn in New York by Nelson Keys,
Beatrice Lilley, Gertrude Lawrence,
Lupino Lane and other London stage
favorites.
The result is that every time New
York producer hits this burg, his
table is filled with notes, letters and
cards seeking an appointment to talk
business.
Many of the very best and clever
est men and women on the British
stage are elbowing each other in
their eagerness to come over where
the big audiences and the big salar-
les are.
"Tell me your name and l will tell
you your age"
A French journalist announced this
not long ago to Partisan women and
sent scare into the hearts of many
of them. But it wasn't as serious as
it sounded.
He had simply doped out that
every generation has its favorites in
the Christian names it gives girl
babies. Hence you can usually .ap-
proximately tell woman's age.
Thus, he says, most women named
Martha, Helene, Marguerite or Lucie
are in their thirties. Those named
Simone, Colette, Denise are now fin
ishing their school studies.
While in the primary schools and
the kindergartens there are the wo-
men Of day after tomorrow--named
Monique, Nicole, Jacqueline.

New York, Sept. 6.-She has been
starting trips to Coney Island and
Chinatown several times a day for
nearly ten years and hasn't visited
either place yet:
Each day the sightseeing buses
come to 42nd street and Broadway.
The barkers step down and invite
pedestrians to ride to Coney Island
or through the maze Of mysteries of
Chinatown. f,:; itr
Almost before the barker has time
to finish his spiel, this woman,
aging, but still attractive, climbs in
to a seat. Soon one or two others
join her.
Then the long wait for customers
begins. One by one the seats are
filled and the driven makes ready for
the journey. %~ '~

THE RETURN OF OUR

American cowboys who took

western life," we are told. In
stead Of the movie outfits which
they wore upon their arrival in
England, these cowboys returned

canes and even wearing monocles.

LETTER FROM KARL WHITNEY
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
DEAR LESLIE:

DEAR LESLIE:
have been wanting Alice to write
you ever since our marriage. She
has promised to do this from day
to day, but she has become very
much interested in some lessons in
dramatics and dancing, and hardly
gets time to eat properly. let alone
to attend to any of her other du-
ties. l have come to the conclusion
if any explanation is ever made to
you, shall have to make it.
Now l want to apologize for her
act in writing that letter to your
husband. l do not think Leslie
that Alice really realized what she
was doing. Surely she would not do
it because Of those trumpery pearl
beads. | have come to the conclu-
sion, however, that in her great love
of dramatizing herself she wrote
this letter to your husband for the
adventure in it.
On the day after her hysterical
outburst before your mother and
myself, l found her in the summer
house crying as though her heart
would break. She had vial mark
cd poison at her mouth. I snatched
it from her just in time. She told
ME that in a spirit of fun more than
anything else, she wrote your hus-
band the letter telling him to ask
you about the necklace.
She said she had no idea that John
would be so silly as to take the let
ter seriously. tried to get her to
tell me just exactly what she wrote
in the letter, but she had already
forgotten. Her whole explanation
was incoherent in the extreme, for
she was sobbing historically all the
time. At last succeeded in calm
ing her, but she seemed to think
she could not stay in her fathers
house any longer:
take me away, Karl, take me
away" she pleaded. don't want
to stay here, want to be alone
with you. For some reason my fam
lily don't understand me, no one
loves me but you. Even my own

The man giving the name of John
Weeks, one Of the carnival conces-
sionaires who was arrested for at
tempting to run a gambling device,
entered plea of guilty yesterday
in justice court before G. L. Olson
and was fined $500. Weeks oper-
ated "test of skill" in which the
player dropped steel disc to cover
a circular spot painted on the count
er. He declared the Illinois state
courts had held the device "test
'of skill" and planned to fight the
charge, but instead entered a plea
of guilty and paid the small fine
rather than be delayed in going on
to Dickinson where the Siebrandt
Carnival Company will appear at
