destined-to reach the top rung in
the ladder of food market values.
Commenting on this new and in
teresting development in the veg
etable market field. Mr.. Shawn
said: 'Del-Mar-Va vegetables are

vertised by any of the nations

releases of the Phillips Packing
Company, Inc, Cambridge, Mary

the interesting innovation of not

cellence of their pack, but are
stressing the fact that their in

@Yes+I am" he said, and his
voice had that same soft drawl in it.
"FIorencel" exclaimed her aunt
from across the table. That's the
bus boy!"
81 don't care" Florence answered
defiantly. II used to know him
down hOme-and-"
He had come back for more
dishes. reluctantly. She motioned
him to her side.
BILLY, what are you doing here:
Won't you come to see me?" she
asked. I'D really like to see you
Please?"
"Why, Florence, Il"
.'Florencel" her aunt exclaimed
again, and the young man disap-
reared once more. He didn't come
back again.
Il haven't seen him for ages; he
ran away from home" she said.
"And now maybe | won't see him
again. Oh"
And suddenly the other diners in
the smart restaurant were amazed
to see a pretty young girl in white
and silver frock rise from her chair
and hurry across the dining room,
to the door of the kitchen-and rush
straight through it, with the head
waiter following.
"Billyr' she cried, as she caught
up with him. why are you run
ming away from me?"
Because I'm a fiat failure" he
told her. Il said I'd come up here
and make good, because l was sure
I could sell that play wrote down
home Well. haven't sold it, and
| had to earn living somehow
you shouldn't have spoken to me I"
Don't be sillyr Florence told
him, catching hold of his arm with
both hands, Il don't care what
you're doing Il love you. and al
ways will! r
Florence's aunt scolded frantical-
IL, and tried to prevent the we'd
ding which. nevertheless. took place
the next morning. She stopped
scolding only when Billy's play was
accepted, a week later. Then she
told her friends. as Florence had
told everyone from the start, "Of
course knew that dear Billy would
succeed!"
And she took credit to herself
for the very pretty romance that
grew out of Florence's speaking to
the bus boy.

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

Short is the memory of Broadway.
No matter how bright the glare of
the spotlight as soon as the one on
whom 1t shines steps out of its bril-
liant rays. he Is forgotten. There
was Dan the Dude. Reputed to be
worth at least a half million dol
lars, he was known from one end
to the other of that thoroughfare
that has been called the gay white
way. Hat check girls, walters, CT
garette and flower girls, musicians
ana others of the hot spots hailed
MS frequent appearances with joy.
So did the parasites, since Dan the
Dudes pockets had no fish hooks.
When his hand came out it held
that which talks with an extremely
loud voice along Broadway. So,
while he paved the way with the
long green, friends flocked about
him in numbers.
That the source of the wealth of
Dan the Dude was more or less
mysterious made no difference at
all. On Broadway, the important
question Is not, How did he get it?''
but HAS he got it," The having
of it is sufficient answer for all
Broadway purposes. Dan the Dude,
however. was once questioned as to
the origin of that which he seemed
to regard SO lightly. He replied
that he bet on horses that ran fast.
That apparently was his sole occu-
patton. He was seen not only at
the local tracks but also at other
well known tracks about the coun-
try. But he always came back to
Broadway.
Something happened to Dan the
Dude. Maybe it was the depression.
Maybe his judgment as to which
horse was the fastest of the field
lost its keenness. At any rate,
places where he had been well
known saw him no more. He wasn't
missed. News that his money had
gone had spread. 1t seemed that
occasionally he stopped to chat with
friends on Seventh avenue and was
given small loans.
A well-dresSed man registered at
a hotel in midtown. Shortly after
ward. he leaped from a twelfth
story window. The crumpled body
was taken to the morgue There
was no Identification and it looked
as If the final resting place would
be on Harris island. In a Seventh
avenue cigar store, the description
of the man was noted. That saved
Dan the Dude from the potters field
Broadway had forgotten him. But
as Broadway usually does, 1t recalled
him enough to contribute to his
funeral.
How different from the false
brightness of Broadway is the coun-
try at this time of year. Went up
to Weskum Wood in Connecticut to
spend some pleasant hours with
Bob and Betty Weeks. In the morn
ing sun, the Connecticut country
side sparkled as If it had been set
with diamonds and the Sound was
q. mighty. flashing mirror. The win
dow thermometer registered away
down below freezing. But in the
big living room, looking out on the
brown woods, the lagoon of Binney
park and the winding road, it was
like spring. And 80 minutes later
we were back in the city of sham
and illusion.
