Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK. Aug. 4-Consder-
ing the millions that gather each
hot weekend on Coney Islands
sands the code of behavior Is amaz-
ingly well preserved.
I have seen the beach 50 thicky
packed with humans that a tiny
pepp of sand became a rare event.
Yet this .propinquity. while it breeds
MANY a casual Irritation, seldom
oversteps its social bounds. There
are few arguments and fewer fights.
Rarely, in these days, does a cop
have to step in: in fact, the role Of
an administrator Of the law has be-
come so stereotyped that they now
arrest boardwalk promenaderS who
perch upon the rail fence.
In older times Coney had the rep
utaticn OF being muScularly rowdy,
brawls were frequent and many a
beer mug was smashed over a sun
day.
There is something in the e
whelming throng that seems to
create a herd-ethics and a smiling
challenge usually greetS the ooldest
approach.
Among the groups that huddle
together, there IS either a buoyant
play spirit Of a frank personal in
timacy. The greatest amount of
pickering and argument can gen.
orally be found among members OF
the same family with some east side
mother at the loud end of the har-
angue.
The chatter Is in most OF the
languages OF the earth; yet there
are extraordinarily few e~ayeSdrop-
pers. Strangers somehow manage
to address each other without any
thing more than a suggestion OF
intimacy: vet only a few inches or
space separates one person from his
neighbor.
Once off the beach and on the
boardwalk, the entire procedure
changes. Then any pretty mad. or
not-So-pretty maid. is the object OF
ogling approach. This is. seemingly.
taken for granted and few protests
are made.
A recent newspaper dispatch bears
the news that a Hollywood hotel
has hired seven sleekhaired glgolos
to entertain the lonely ladies.
This is interesting 10 a New
Yorker. particularly since the gigo-
70 industry failed miserably IN the
big town. While a few elderly ladies
found well-groomed young men TO
take them about. the business of
hing men as dancing partners
never clicked In Manhattan.
II may be found that some Of
the more aStute gigili found IL more
profitable TO sell their attentions
TO a definite person Certainly. few
Of the Tx have gone in for the small
change that comes from cafe or
hotel salaries or from individual
tips.
If they were smart. thu could
"chiselr in on fairly good society.
make themselves companionable
and amusing and live, somehow,
without working.
7 have known a few who even
affected some sort Of employment.
They have taken small paying tasks
that sounded important and used
this to cover their real purpose
which was getting by without toll
AS a matter OF fact. the number
OF perSonable young men on the
loose in New York has always made
il slightly difficult for the gigolos

tractive young gent who Is able

IT was concert afternoon at the
= Miramar. For want OF some
thing more exciting 70 do Give
and Lame had wandered IN and
settled themselves 10 listen. The
first part OF the program had been
ordinary. a pale young man with
nervous mien had played the vio-
lin in%diferently. Now a girl in
a copper-colored dress got up TO
sing.
They consulted their programs.
The song was The Flight" and
the words we're by Sara Teasdale.
Lame closed her eyes. The song
tore AZ her heart. Sweet and
clear as the flute notes. perfect
and separate as fallen drops of
crystal. the words emerged from
the background OF the accompani-
ment.
Look back with longing eyes. and
know that l will follow.
Lift me up in your love as a ligh.

Let our fight be far in sun or

But what IL l heard my first love
calling me again?
Hold me on your heart as the
brave sea holds the foam.
Take me far away to the hills that
hide your home.
Peace shall thatch the roof and
love shall latch the door
But what IL / heard my first love
calling me once more?"
There were tears IN her eyes
and she did not know It. The
lump in her throat threatened 10
sufocate her. She did not dare
10 look az the man beside her.
He made a sudden movement,
said softly in her ear, do you
mind IL we clear out? The airs
rather heavy in here"
With eyes downcast she fol
lowed him. BY the time they had
