When a certain society girl ran
away with a Broadwayire, to the
anger and CONSERVATION of her fam
lily, a young girl reporter was chased
uptown to the Fifth avenue mansion
of the clipping brides parents. and
commissioned by her city editor to
ask all manner Of foolish and impu-
dent questions. The night was
snowy, the butler simply shut the
door in the reporters face, and
when she informed her boss If the
fact owe the telephone. she was told
to stick around for a coupla hours
and see what you can find out" She
obeyed orders slavishly and came
off with a bad cold and no story.
When she told her adventure 20 a
h~ard-boiled member Of the staff, Ne
snorted with disgust. "You don't
mean 70 tell me you DID hang
around" he demanded, incredulously.
And he went on to mourn the
passing Of the old-style saloon, where
a man might sit and tipple in comfort
when sent out on such fool assign
ments. toastinK his heels in comfort
and using the bar phone occasionally
TO assure the desk man he was keep
ing tab on the story. There are
more ways Of killing a cat than chok-
ing il with butter. and from the
deeps Of a jaded experience. I can
assure the tyro that is as good n way
as any OF keeping after a boob as
signmert.
Ignorant reporters often do more
harm than good when they ask asin-
inc questions in the hope Of getting
a sensational story. One brash idiot
in a group interview very nearly
alienated Sir Oliver. Lodge, on the
occasion of his visit here six or
seven years Ago.. when he asked a
particularly stupid and seeming in
solent one.
1t is the habit Of the more import
ant movie stars to give group in
interviews usually. IN this way the
agony IL lessened for everybody. al
though, of course. no ~so-called Eek
elusive stories are obtained.

Peters Adventures

all the clamor ceased and the fell
low who had given the signal for
the welcome chorus spoke.
Greeting. Chieftan!" said he.
Your people are happy 10 have you
back again. But who il this stranger
that you have brought upon your
back? Surely it is not some kind Of
game. IL looks as IL il would make
tough eating."
Peter shivered slightly. He won
dered if he had been landed among
cannibals, and for a brief moment
he doubted Chief Grow. But that
fellow cawed with amusement.

stranger i a boy. | should think you

The crows blinked with surprise.
but in a second they remembered
their name and bowed 70 the hoy
politely. Peter however, was not At
all sure that the crows were glad to
see him. IN fact the spokesman OF
the tribe said as much.
"Of course. what you do the tribe

Chief Crow cawed his chuckly cav
a second time.

and cried:
"Cawl Cav. Ca-ca-cawl"
Raising their heads, stretching
their necks and opening their big
black beaks, as if obeying a signal,
one after another of the crows gave
the tribal cry of welcome.
"Cawl Cawi Cawi" answered Chief
Crow. At last, with a final graceful
dip, the Chief alighted on his feet
in the snow and right in the very
center OF the semi-circle. Slowly he
folded his wings to rest at his sides
and the birds got their first good
glimpse Of Peter. They gazed al him
curiously, leaning forward with lifted
wings and peering first with one eye
and then with the other, their black
heads twisted now to this side, now
to that. Then the astonished birds be-
gan to question their returned leader
excitedly. Chief lifted one claw re-
provingly and said:-
"Herel Here! That will do, my
warriors. One of you speak at q

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
BY Charles p. Driscoll

Bruce Reynolds was in to see me. just before sail
ing on the Majestic for another look at Paris. Rey-
nolds is the author Of Cocktail Continentale" and
Paris With the Lid Lifted" Both books have had
remarkable sales, and continue selling, and the world
of book-readers doubtless picture Reynolds as a ter
rible rake. The books go into lurid detail about drink
ing and carousing in Paris.
You'd be surprised. Reynolds has never taken a
drink Of liquor in his life. He is a philosophical citi-
zen who likes to sit and talk soberly and seriously
about life and living. He is an optimist in the best
sense, and knows humanity so well that he loves it. He
is a native of Kentucky, and likes small town life. He
makes his living writing about Paris, but he does his
living, when he can, in country towns.
Reynolds is bald, stocky, and would look like a
rural preacher if he cared to dress the part. But he
dresses very stylisEly, and somewhat extremely in the
mode.
Henry Ford and Mrs. Ford were wandering about
in Grand Central Terminal the other day, when | was
catching q train. Most Of the crowd paid no attention
to the distinguished couple. Occasionally someone
would say, There goes Henry Fordl" and a few of the
curious would follow the automobile maker until they
had satisfied themselves that he looks exactly like his
pictures. Mrs. Ford looks much younger than her dis
tinguished husband, who has acquired a set Of face
wrinkles much like those Of the elder Rockefeller, but
not so deep.
Here's a tip on how to make an everlasting friend
Of Albert Payson Terhune. in case you ever eat dinner
at the same table with him. Don't say, "oh, Mr.. Ter
hume, how are the dogs?" That question has been
tossed at him so often at dinners that the gigantic and
genial writer has difficulty in restraining his temper
when he hears it. The Terhunes are in town now for a
bit Of s~ociability and opera.
In an afternoons drive about Staten Island recent
ly, / visited Stapleton. A few years ago this little
town had visions. Hylan was mayor of New York, and
he undertook construction Of a set OF piers at Staple
ton to berth the worlds largest ocean liners. The
great traffic was TO be transferred from Manhattan
and Hoboken to ~Stapleton. The piers are there now,
with lonesome little boats tied up at them. Just
another dream with the sleep extracted.

despite the fact that there is an eight-mile-an-hour limit posted at one local street corner.
 As to the refusal to show the li- cense. ,Wisk was wrong. Judge Man gan said. but the police had no right to abuse the power given them by the statute and 1t was entirely pos siblc for an officer to become "a pest" by continually demanding to see drivers license. Judge Roche felt that the speeding charge had not been upheld sufficiently to bring about q conviction. remarking that there were times when drivers should be warned rather than arrest ed and in this instance, the alleged excessive speed had been maintained for a very short distance. As to the officers action in demanding to see the license, Judge Roche said he felt it was entirely justified, but the of- fense was not exceptionally serious.

 Edward J. Burke. aged 25, of 264 Burritt street, was fined $3 without costs on the charge of driving an automobile without hav- ing a license in his possession and 8 without costs on the charge of driving without having certificate of registration in his possession.

He produced the duplicates in court.

The latter was with Joseph Bucykowsk, of 5& Union street. rear. in kaw- ecki's house and was punched by Kawecki for no reason, according to his story. but Kawecki accused him of being intoxicated and in sulting. He denied that he sold liquor but Buczkowski and Yuknot claimed to have bought a pint there.
 kawecki admitted that he seized Yuknot by the back of the neck and elected him from the house but he did not kick him as Yuknot alleged Yuknot and Buczkowski were wrest- ling about the floor and the former struck against an icebox. which ac- counted for the eye discoloration, according to Kawecki.
 ''So you took the law in your own hands, didn't you?" Prosecuting At torney Woods said.
