WE see in the society columns OF the
W newspapers that Mrs. E. Morris
de Peyster has purchased the Cross
ways formerly the villa of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and is
occupying it this season" This is at
Newport. Mrs. de Peyster is pictured
under a sunshade and with troubled
look on her countenance. No doubt
the poor devil is worrying over the
trials and tribulations of her next "at
home" Supposing the bootlegger
fools her on the gin!

ANOTHER intriguing bit of informa-
a ton for the Woodworking steno-
grapher is the reported marriage Of
Florence Glib Pratt, daughter of two
more Pratts, who was married in st.
James's Episcopal Church. TIL e
couple will reside in Cheshire, Eng
land. The bride did not carry a
bouquet, but instead a white prayer
book How perfectly pious! What
the attendants wore and where they
wore it was infinitely described in the
society columns. AS if it mattered a
damn
IAN you imagine something like
y this appearing in the society col
umns?: "Miss Mary Feiteltoot,
daughter of Mr.. Moses Feiteltoot,
we'll known rabbit-worker of Chrystie
Street was joined in wedlock yester-
day to Mr.. Isaac Patrick Muldoon, son
Of Mr.. Barney Muldoon, hodcarrier
of 4S1 West 46th Street by Rabbi
Scholem O'Keefe. After the services,
the happy couple subwayed to the
Roxy theatre where they enjoyed
"Thy Neighbours Wife" Mr.. and
Mrs. Muldoon will live on the east
side after they have made the proper
connection with an installment furni-
ture house." You can imagine read
ing this in a capitalist paper, but
that's about as far as you will get.
Another reason why you should read
The DAILY WORKER for all the
news that's not fit to print anywhere
else.
THERE is something bookish in the
atmosphere around Washington
Square One who has read the
American Mercury, the New Masses
and our Saturday supplement, and
who therefore knows a thing or two
about the world he lives in, cannot
help being pitched into a Eliminating
mood as he looks at the quaint houses
where now-famous writers, once
spent their days in tribulation and
indulgence. And as if sensing the
psychological effect of the environ
ment on the book-loving pedestrian
number of go-getters have opened
bookstores in the vicinity. This is a
typically American trait. Regardless
of what Sinclair Lewis said about
Rabbit he knows his business. Of
course Rabbits do not run radical
bookstores.
HAVING become more or less re-
"A sponsible for the success of the
Jimmie Higgins Book Store, l must
announce that he has moved his
wares from 1877 to LOG University
Place. This Jimmie is an elusive fell
low. No matter how often you call
on him you will be told that he is
out. His assistant would give you
the impression that he is always in
need of money, and as branch of a
nationally known pawn shop is close
at hand, you will be told that Jimmie
is there trying to borrow money.
RE that asst may, he has splendid
- staff in charge of the store, pleas
ant to the eye as we'll as to the ear.
A nice place to spend few hours
examining the latest books. And it
is very seldom that anybody will ask
you if you need assistance which is
another way of saying that if you
have no money you will not be insul-
ted by suggestion that this is a
bookstore and not a zoo. Yet / am
told that Jimmie sells lot of books.
