ROYAL ACADEMY CROWD
IS LACKING IN COLOR
Private View Day Has Lost CLAM
our as Elders Lose Fight for (
Sartorial Elegance.

LONDON (N.AN.A> Private view
day at the Royal Academy conjures
visions of exquisite ladies in diaphanous
gowns. of top-hatted gallants and
sparkling conversation, with, of course,
a few pictures in the background.
But in reality, it seems to be an event
that has lost its glamour, something that
has ceased to be an occasion and
dwindled into a crush. Perhaps 1t is
because there are so few top-hats. or
1t may be the predominance of unro-
mantle tweeds and dark costumes and
the lack of picture hats.
The fact remains that ones chief
impressions Of the opening of this years
academy were that the younger genera
ton wants to see the pictures. not the
clothes. and that their elders are fight
ing losing battle in matters sartorial.

OF NEW YORK PLEASES
Old Books Read by Youths as Well

NEW YORK (N.A.N.A.)-New books
IN fancy bindings are heralded sensa-
tionally and soon supplanted, but while
they come and 60 certain standard au-
thorS OF an earlier period are read and
treasured by old-fash.oned people and
by the city's youth, thanks to the public
schools.
One such author Is Washington
Irving. and aside from literary charm
certain OF his books should be read by
New York's children, because they are
true to this city and its lordly river
as it used to be. At the public library.
which reports a reading taste different
and perhaps more reassuring than the
nckle one which the publishers know,
there Is now small exhibition of
1rving's manuscripts and notebooks.
1t includes the manuscript. of his
BOOK OF the HUDSON" an autographed
manuscript OF the extant part of
"Bracebridge Hail." two of his note
books for "Knickerbocker's History of
New York" and notebooks showing his
study OF Arabic In working on a life of
Mahomet and on his tales of Moorish
Spain.
At Granada and at the Alhambra. of
which Irving wrote so genuinely, Span
1ards still look upon him as the fore
most American man of letters, for are
his books not responsible for the COM
ing Of sc many American tourists? It
Is somewhat the same In the Catskills.

ployment Of a city manager 70 give

tire attention Is n OF the most i'm
portant steps toward efficient ad-

suits. For this position Rosenthal
