New York.-This is the time of year when 1ove-smitten couples,
 wandering along the slopes above the Hudson around Grants Tomb,
 come unexpectedly upon a little
 grave with a charming tomb
 stone. 1t reads. ITO the memory
 of an amiable child"
 Another little plot that always interests out-of-towners is the wee, triangular cemetery on 11thf West. just behind the French Pas try shop where Joyn Reed, Louise Bryant, Max Eastman, Edna St Vincent Millay Floyd Dell and other Villagers used to have breakfast Sunday mornings = when they could affofd breakfast There are only a handful of graves in this tiny cemetery and you have to gaze at them through a grilled fence. But, coming upon this peaceful spot in bustling New York always makes strangers pause in wonder.
 Poet of High Degrees
 Edna St Vincent Millay, who is practically as good gardener as she is a poet, hates to leave her farm in summer time. But she has been coaxed into two dates for June. On the 9th, she will receive the degree of Honorary Doctor of Letters from the Russell Sage Foundation college, and on the 18th. the same degree from the University of Wisconsin.
 
 A Perfect Wife Otto Soglow, artist who draws Little King'' cartoons, has what every man calls the perfect wite. Soglow is a great cutup. and at parties he clowns all over the place, does magic tricks and tells amusing anecdotes. His wife al- ways laughs, no matter how many times she has heard the jokes, and always manages to look surprised and pleased at his tricks. Soglow is, a short, rot1nd little fellow, not unlike his Little King in build, with a merry face wreathed in smiles most fo thu time.
