In New York
BY PAUL HARRISON

New YOrk--FlrGt there ha0 been a good deal of the dancing and singing that always stirs me almost to the point of articulate enthus- iasrn. think maybe I did yell an "Ole" or two for Rosita Rios "Enamorada de Ti."
 Then a couple of guitarists wandered into the spotlight of the trim little night club. .Villarino, knew, had played for Escurdeo, the dancer. The one called Luis Maravilla was handsome young ster. a flashier impressario with an air of pure exuberance about him. We beat our palms for their first number, and subsided quickly as Pillar Calvo came out to dance. 'd-t 'ass @'it r- sas@i She came out with rush, q clattering frenzy of castanets, stamping of tiny heels, swirlinE of skirts, smile a smile for Maravilla, the guitarist. 1.-the, incredibly vitaL feeling in every line of her--well, what's the use ? mean to say she danced. Maravilla, watched every move, and played his guitar like a man possessed offsomething more than admiration. Calco, of course, was gracious enough to the cus- toners the Spanish poet, the matador, the wealthy Spanish ina- porter, the influential visiting showmen from Broadway, and the rest. But she seemed to be danc- ing especially for the dashing young devil who plucked at the strings.
 "Romance2" queried your cor respondent. ea Romance" confirmed Benito Collada, who owns Fl Chico, the night club. You do not know the one-haif of it!".. e. lis s sI tf Love Knew No Bounds
 It was a year ago that Maravilla first came to New York. He had his guitar, a permit from the State Department, and a fat con- tract for entertaining Collada's guests throughout the season. But soon 1t was seen there was no fire in the boy. He dropped He had no smiles for the signing ladies who sat in the twilight oi the Nringside tables. He was al. most sullen when they demanded l encores.
 There was, of course, a girl The girl was in Madrid. And he poor Luis, was in New, York. And could he have. please, an advance of next weeks salary? = because it was necessary that he speak with the girl tonight. By tele. phone? By telephone, of course Every night he talked to her by telephone. What if each call did cost $63 Madre de Dios! - thii was no ordinary girl!
 Finally he came to Collada Came humbly, and said, .'Senor what would you do if I broke ms contract?" %f s}s z.
 Why, I guess I would not dc anything" said the man whose name is Benito. But tell me why is this?"
 Maravilla parried with a ques- tion: Have you ever been ir lover"
 collada bristled. "You know I have g wife and the two love Hest children"
 Well. I am in love. But thu girl says must come back tt spain-now. She is jealoui one. A gypsy.",
 So CoiIada tore the contrac into little pieces while the youni musician watched with shining grateful eyes and vowed tha some day he, would come back ant make up for this so-gracious kind ness. The girl. Pillar. woult thank him too.
