Broadway began to view with alarm.
Nor was it false alarm. For several seasons
the spending visitor has been growing wary.
The cry of Hello, sucker" reached the most
remote farm.
And so Broadway's night life Is changing its
complexion. And this may save its face, which
has been growing more and more saliow.
To be sure, all of the blemishes have not
been removed. And creaking joints has become
Q common complaint.
Wherefore, the vogue Of the new season.
which now begins to get its stride is for the sort
of place which might be referred to as naughty
but nice"
Lorgnettes have become as common at ring
side seats of supper clubs as at the opera. And
the cover charge is so far above the reach of
the average purse that the 'bg street" is made
safe for sort Of plutocracy. Visitors who had
the foresight to bring along their dress clothes
will be able to crash a few of the more exclu-
Sive resorts.
There WILL Of course, always be a sort of
shady nook, such as is exposed annually by the
Committee. of Fourteen. These spots range
from dance halls to speakeasies and employ
"hostesses" who put their bank rolls in their
stockings. Such places are on what New York
pleaSeS to call 1.-The taxicab route"
These places have become known as might

the name. They spring up like mushrooms, and
grow poisonous just quickly. The average.
fates of these sucker" places, as well as the
longevity of the in-betweens, change from day
to day. Thousands of suckers have learned
their lessons, either by personal experience by
hearsay. The so-called night club has been
dying slowly.

owners The scale was beyond the dreams or
park strOllers who buy peanuts for the squirrels.
The Lido and the Trocadero, which also
control the swanky Lido In Florida, and one

found from the Cotton Club and Comics Inn
up in Harlem down to Barneys in Greenwich
Village.
And it's the 81 and 81 spots in Harlem
and the Village which have played the dirge
turning away the crowds. Barney's always
has had its own particular following in New
York The IS resorts have had their moments,
but this is their season.
A CTUAL competition goes on between these
resorts for the favoriteS Of the Broadway
stage. Almost any one in the Mazda lane belt
knows, for instance, that Beatrice Lille at
tracts one of the swankiest followings in town.
And she isn't easy to procure for supper
club attraction.
A single artist can do $500 to $3.50 per
week for few minutes ION the floor"
And when one realizes that single hat-rack
concession in one such place is worth SIS 900
and brings it-for q season that lasts for q
few months, there is no reason to believe that
they are likely to starve.
To be sure, you can spend as much as you
please. And no one viii try to interfere. But
at least the swankier places are honest about
it. They admit their prices and demand eve
ming clothes and good manners
They alone are likely to survive the Winter.

Challenging Commissioner Grover Whalen to
bother her, she Immediately found herself
bothered. And when Summer came, Texas
was safely out OF the city limits, operating a
Summer club in the suburbs.
But the clacking of matchmaking apparatus
lnterfered with gentlemen who were trying to
spend their afternoons playing goh and Texas
didn't click so well in the country. Now
she's gone West and Chicago is future
rendezvous.
And SO, Chicago is expected to inherit the
"hello, sucker" type of rendezvous, fast dis
appearing from Manhattan. Chicago, the wise
boys of Broadway point out, has a transient
trade such as even New York cannot boast.
TRAVELLING men by the thousands visit the

die West from the Southwest and the wheat
belt and the corn belt visitors flock into town.
To them Chicago is not a strange place, in
the sense that New York is. They know it
and their fathers have known it. They don't
feel like strangers there. Still, for one reason
or another, that particular metropolis has never
gone in for cover charge resorts in big way.
Meanwhile, New York is accustoming itself
to its new complexion. The swanky places
have been led for years by the Embassy Club.
which caters to both literary and social
customers.
But the Casino located in Central Park, has
found its place both in New York politics and
social night life. From tea garden and ice
cream resort visited by folk wandering through
the park the Casino was suddenly grabbed up
by the Drexel BiddleS and others, and actually
reached the point where mayoralty candidate
used it as weapon in fighting the Manhattan
administration.
Hat-checking concessions, cigaret concessions
and all the rest were peddled at fabulous prices.

1t is a good thing that she did this
The lost little Duckling heard her and
he obeyed. Once Billy Mink passed very
close to his hiding place, but the wind
was the wrong way to carry a scent to
Billy and Billy's sharp eyes failed to
pick him out as he lay hidden among
the weeds. So Billy passed on. After
while he grew tired of hunting. Some
thing caught his attention on the other
side of the pond and he swan across.
Not till he had disappeared did Mother
Wood Duck venture to call again for
that lost Duckling. When she did CALL
she called in a low tone. Almost at
once there was joyful little peep and
out from among the weeds came the
little Duckling, padding so fast that he
seemed to be almost walking on the
water, or rather running on the water.
Straight to his mother he went, and
what do you think he did then? He
climbed up on his mothers back. Yes,
sir, he climbed up on his mothers back.
Oh, how good it was to settle himself
there! To snuggle down In among the
feathers.
Mother Wood Duck didn't say word.
She wasted no time, but turning, swan
as fast as she could swim back to where
she had left Beauty and the family. All
were there. The Ducklings had been
somewhat in awe of their handsome
father and they had obeyed him. All
were clustered around when Mother
Wood Duck and the lost Duckling ar
rived
The Duckling scrambled down from
his mothers back Such a happy
Duckling you never saw! He had to go
touch bills with each of his brothers
and sisters. Still Mother said not a
word. You see, she was a wise mother.
She felt sure that he had learned his
lesson. She felt sure, too that he would
tell his brothers and sisters all about it
and that they would learn the same
lesson from him. And this is exactly
what did happen.
So there in Paddy's pond was the
happiest 81 happy reunions. Beauty the
Wood Duck, Mrs. Wood Duck and the
IL little Ducklings were all together
once more. Paddy the Beaver, watching
them, chuckled. So did Mrs. Paddy.
They were very fond Of their pretty
neighbors and they rejoiced in their
happiness.
