MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY

NEW YORK, June 16.-Not all the
urge for reform Is on the Frank side
of the Vanderlip family. Not long
ago Mrs. Vanderlip sent out 300 or
400 invitations to garden party.
One hundred and fifty of the inVitees
rsvp'd. When lunch time came;
rThose ladies whose names are

one hundred and fifty lucky ones
sat at table.
You other ladies-15o of you-did
not reply to my invitation" said Mrs
Vanderlip. But you came. You will
be served with sandwiches on the
lawn
1t won't make any difference next
time. Reform does not take in New
York.
Wives and mothers may create
their beloved and ship them on to the
Democratic convention. The indica-
tions are that they will be safe.
More cabarets have closed their
doors. That's the new idea Close
in time to avoid the paddock and a
dead year. The cabaret owners must
have learned that there will be
nothing doing during the big time.
