 "I.eggo that mane!" he bawls at her. .Straighten up! Don't pull on them lines He ain't a truck"
 If this were in the days of Ancient Rome and she were Nero s wife there would be new torch in the garden to- night. I'd hate to hate any one the way she hates him. The pretty girls in front of me giggle heartlessly;
 Isn't she fun-n-ny?" drawls the prettiest. That caressing languor was never matched in these cold attitudes, Georgia, at a guess. Or Alabama.

 They thanked me. A New York girl would have iced over. That is, New York girl of their class. They learn the gentle art of self f-protection early in New York. And no wonder. Here's a pair of masheIs approaching. You can tell 'em a block away. Clothes, walk, air, eyes-pine painted to look like ma hogany. Mashers haunt the Drive. Many a tragedy had it's inception here, or in the gem-like little parks that lie below the street level toward the wide river. They pass a copper and he turns and trails. He knows.

 A $1z,O00 fur coat gets out of a noiseless car. I remember having seen the coat or its counterpart in a Fifth avenue window. I'd never remember the woman who wears it. Daubed with paint, tired, insolent eyes, odorous of powder and perfume, she is like thou sands of others.
 Mammals sweetums go for itsie bitsie trotty now," she coos.
 A dog, old before it's time, is taken from it's fur-lined nest. A disillusioned dog. A world-weary, heart-siek, sani- tary- dog.
 It was wearing the very latest thing in dog fashions. A little top-coat, with little pockets bound in leather. A sporty dog, evidently. A flashy hand kerchief peeps from a pocket. Some thing around it's neck that vaguely re sembles a sweater. A silk scarf, per. haps. We all stop dead still to gaze at this amazing SpectacIe. The gIris, tne mashers? myself. Two-button spats to match coat and scarf, bind its tiny ankles.
 A masher forgets his pose. Just a chorus-boy, playing part.
 "Jeeze," he murmurs.
 Then we all laugh. The dog is, after all, a good, self.respecting, canine dog. He worries at his spats with his sharp little teeth. One is torn off before his mistress sees him. He runs down the Drive and she sidewheels after him on her high heels, squawking. An Nim- mense grin tears across the chauffeur s face. Then he speeds up the great car and catches the truant. We see him touch his hat respectfully as he turns it in.
