New York, Feb. 15.-- Princely sums
are paid for the privilege Of owning
boxes in the famous diamond horse
Shoe Of the Metropolitan.
A healthy sized office building in
small town could be built for the
money that passes when one is sold.
II Is not often that n sale is ex-
ccutcd. for an older society clings
tcnaciously to this symbol of high
social rating and great care is
taken that they do not fall into the
hands Of the nouveau richie.
Now $500. 900 Is q goodly figure to
pay for the right to sit in an ex-
elusive and widely advertised place,
yet such wns the figure brought
when the first Vanderbilt box
| changed hands. The second Of the
Vanderbilt boxes went the other
day for n similar amount.
The cxorbitant sounding price
however. is partially accounted for
by the fact that the ownership Of
box carries with it onc-thirty.
fifth interest in the thcatcr and
property.
For the high cost Of seating Sec
ond honors 50 to the stock ex-
change. where a theoretical seat
may be bought for $4,000 with
perhaps sic worth Of actual sitting
being enjoyed per year. There are
400 seats on the exchange and
| ownership Of one indicates the def
mite arrival of the buyer as an
important entity in Wall Street
affairs.
Speaking Of high costs, the ac-
ccssories required for prohibition in
crease daily.
Stopping to glance in the win
dows Of six Fifth Avenue jewclry
and speciality shops I noticed an
astounding portion of the space
given over to trick containers and
novelties for drinkables.
The latest is the Goat Of arms
cork Upon specially built corks
made to fit any bottlc--arc placed
initials, crcsts, coats of arms or de-
signs, after the fashion of fancy
motor caps.
There are also corks made to re-
semblc silver statuettes.
Jewellers tell me that among the
ritzy classes each bottle is given a
distinctive cork and the little
groups of serious drinkers 20 in for
UlSCluCtIVC ucSlkUSs
Artists who formerly were kept
busy designing book plates now are
called upon to make original mono.
gram designs for the tops Of corks.
Each weak brings q new wrinkle
in bottle carriers for milady. Some
are trim leather handbags; some
are made to resemble binocular
cases; others seem to be thermos
bottles that have suddenly grown
handles.
And one parting word about our
chorines: bank report that reached
my desk this morning shows a con-
siderable number Of chorus girls to
be depositors.
Whatever their gentlemen friends
prefer, they prefer bonds!

OAllNE Anne A9SstdIaN N y,

Faith had been in Chicago only
twice before in her life, and she
knew almost nothing Of the huge,
clamorous city through whose bust.
ness district she found herself wan
dering rather forlornly one Monday
morning early in December, two
huge suitcases humping against her
knees. She had registered at cheap.
small hotel near the station. and her
cheeks were still burning with the
flush Of humiliation at the curious
stare with which the hotel clerk had
regarded her after reading her name,
Faith Lane" written in clear,
vertical hand. 1t was unbelievable
to her that that modest name was
famous now, or rather. notorious.
In her tiny, cheaply furnished
room she had searched the classified
telephone directory for the names of
furriers and modistes, making "a list
of those that seemed at all promis-
ing. She had come to Chicago with
such high hopes, but as she walked
from one unfamiliar street to an
other, she became almost i'll with
fear and distaste for her self-imposed
task. With the assistance of an &C.
casional policeman, she had found
several of the addresses on her list,
but each time had turned away, ply
sically unable to force her feet to
carry her into the imposing, exclu-
sive-looking shops.
At last, weary to exhaustion with
the weight Of her suitcases, and
dazed by the roar and strangeness of
the city, which seemed like a great,
sprawling, gray beast crouched to
spring upon her, she turned into a
side street.
A beady-eyed little old Jew stood
in the door of the furriers shop, his
ibeak nose quNering for the scent Of
a customer. Without giving herself
a chance to think, Faith accosted
him, breath!essly, the flush of shame
staining her pale cheeks darkly.
"Do you-do you buy fur coats :?
Slightly used coats ?"
His bright black eyes scanned her
shabby old brown cloth contemptu
ously.
III show you." Faith answered
hurriedly, pushing past him into the
dark narrow interior of the shop.
Mere it ISL she sad eagerly, lift
ing the lovely. rich thing from the
suitcase. Genuine mink. lit

noints out that once territory is TAX
