New. York, April 25.-Thoughts while strolling: Those tads in bowler derbies who swing canes. Joseph E. Sheedy. the ship magnate. Pink fac cd French sailors with red tasseled caps. Dumpy women with a bouncing manner whose arms are always filled with bundles. Lee Olwell's buslly eyebrows.
 Frederick Burr Opper Madison, O. boy, who made good in the, city. And what's become of Burr Mc1n- tosh, by the wy? Lads who sport cream white gloves. Edwin Balmer, the magazine editor. The crowds that watch an hour glass in front of Q fruit store.
 Lee Shubert steps into a onearm- ed lunch. Those ugly, hollow-m outh- cd masks used to decorate theater facades. Julius Tannen hurrying across 46th street. A faker selling "bottles of water from the Ganges." A graE Ehaired couple walking along holdinS hands, bless 'r">.
 That tension when policemen drive up and step from a special car. Girls with blood-red lips and kitten eyes who never seem to be going any where. Darkskihned elegantes who tango divinely. The odors from a building excayation-the pungency of ploughed earth.
 And to the transplanted yollel, the smell of earth suggests white barns, green hedges and gurgling streams. A millinery shop called Peter and Nancy. Three new waffle parlors in a block. And nothing is so tasty and indigestible as a waffle. Ray Long and Ernest TrueX look alike.
 That glowering block under the 53d street elevated-east of broad way. Smudged curtainless windows Uncarpeted halls. Incredibly filthy basements. Old women with sag-ing skirts. The sullen apathy begotten of all work and no play. Prowling, lean cats. And the dazzling White Way around the corner.
 Among the best dressed men in town are auto salesmen along Auto mobile Row. Those experts who roll tires in heavy sidewalk traffic. The noon soap box spouters at Columbus Circle-birth control, communism, atheism and free love. A mad world. my masters.
