In New York
BY PAUL HARRISON

New York-Odds and ends. First the story about that movie star and his very proud wife. Word comes from England that they were in cluded in party headed by the Prince of Wales. And that she sug- gested going to certain night club at very late hour. And that the prince said he doubted that they would be admitted at that time in the morning. Don't worry about that" said the actors wife. Everybody knows my husband; he can get in anywhere"
 Such fun at Tony Sarg's mari- onette school! The maestro of the dithery dolls is conducting adult summer classes for the first time in years, and the pupils call MT Sarg The King," and MT Sars calls the pupils children" Well sir, the other day the children" were late coming back from lunch con and the bad old king" locked them out, admitting them only af- ter each one had crowed loudly three times. |. Then the children" decided that they would get '.cven'' with ''the king" so they waited until he was tardy one afternoon and what do you think they did? They locked the door and wouldn't admit him until he yodelled three times! It was just too, too, utter ly something or other.
 Mir Collins Again
 I have been getting a lot of letters concerning something wrote awhile ago about the origin of the Tom Collins. like to get letters, but don't like to pretend knowing much about MT Collins, MT Kolinsky or MT Zilch, depend ing on which of the score or more legends you favor. A Miss Gloria Sellers, of Syracuse, N. Y, was first with the story whici, has the strongest corroboration: The pro- prietor of the famous Ramos Bar in New Orleans invented drink called the Ramos Cooler. From there, on account of a certain kind of gin that was used, it became a Tom Cooler, and later a Tom Col. lins. And with that, this column hereby withdraws from tho controversy.
 Lost and Fopnd
 Cleanliness is next to impossible when thousands of people are dashing through a building all day and night. But the 80 sweepers and the gum and bottle removing squads in Pennsylvania station do their best with the acres of floor space. Twenty-Five pounds of chew. Ling gum and 500 empty bottles are par for the course, and valu- able things often turn up too. They find lots of jewelry, and every thing else from silk hats to baby carriages. One night scrub $103,500. When 1t was returned to much.''
 Cook Tour
 Joe Cook has come home to Sleepless Hollow, his New Jersey estate. so the nearby shores of Lake Hopatcong probably are be- ing deserted by droves of discour- aged looms and squirrels. The goofy golf course. educated furni- ture and other gadsetry have be- gun to pail slightly on the giddy consciousness of Mir Cook, and now he's shopping around for railroad.
 He thinks 1t would be fun to have full-szed locomotive and an old Pullman car for overnight trips to his hunting lodge. But since he hasn't a hunting lodge he probably will be content with q couple of hundred yards of track, an elaborate signal system, and railroad lunch room. The whole thing can be done for about $15.- 900, and that includes remodeling the Pullman with many quaint de- vices he has thought up. His house-party guests will be quar- tered in the sleeping car. Drawn and quartered, probably.
 Crazy Game
 I have just heard about Mau, rice Chevalier's first attendance at a big-league baseball game. The Senators scored three runs in the first inning. and one in the fifth. The Yankees scored one in the first, three in the seventh and two more in the eighth. MNirice re- vealed no trace of understanding during these exciting events. and afterward confided that hc didn't think much of such a crazy con test. "Ze Yankees win. you say yes? Fey have score of only 100,00O,S20, yet zey beat ze Sen ators who have a great score of 3OO 0,O00-over two hundred million more points. It is crazy game"
