New York.-Odds and ends-but chiefly odds: Some call him the subway sage" and some the depot duke."
 His study is a bench in the cool and spacious areaways beneath the Pennsylvania station. He is on the job, with consistent regularity about 9:30 in the morning. one reason for this is that the selection of morning newspapers is better in the refuse cans. Thousands of com muters hurrying from their trains, toss away their papers and "the duke" has discovered, by process of elimination, the best receptical. With bit of luck he can retrieve a New York Times and World- Telegram, Brooklyn paper and an assortment from the smaller towns upstate. Not infrequently he comes upon a first-class magazine.
 Thus equipped, he can retire to his cool bench-study, not far from the mouth of an air-cooling device. He removies his faded straw hat, revealing snow-white hair; his mustache Is similarly whitened. His linen suit appears in good con- dition. Did you not observe him each morning breeding over the refuse containers, you might take him for any commuter awaiting train.
 Long about noon, the "duke" di- gests what he has read during the morning and starts addressing any elderly person within his range. Having spent the morning doing nothing, he is now equipped to dis cuss the German moratorium and the Reich; the reason for 25-cent wheat and the next democratic nominee. When no one else will listen, he talks to himself. After a time he mooches 10 cents and fares forth in search of coffee and sinkers. Then he disappears until the following morning.
 
 I believe every town has at least one variation on "the duke" If he happens to be at all different, it's because he selects the continuously hectic Long Island waiting room for his study.
 When I was a lad there were just such fellows perched on

 The ambassador, like all arriving Americans, found his sleep dis turbed by the roaring motors and continual horn footing of taxis. His

 Garrett, realizing the value Of

 Paris, (UP).-How some models shoulder their fashion responsibili- ties is very interesting this summer. Take Lenief, s. A, for instance.

 Starting at the relatively normal waistline, the soft white material is drawn upward. Under the right arm 1t stops and crosses in two strips to the throat and shoulder at the left. These two strips cross the back in similar fashion, and where they return to their start ing place under the right arm are two lovely white gardenias. one in the back and one in the front.
