In New York

New York, March 19-"This", murmured Lady Adele Astaire) Cavendish as she raised a trembling finger, lis what America does to me. And I don't drink. I'm going to bed for a week and wake up when we sight the green shores of Ire land"
 And so, now, look at what you've done, America! Exhausting a gen. tlewoman from a big castle at Lons- more in the heart of old Erin, with your night clubs, theaters, race tracks, sunny country and Holly wood! No wonder that Lady Caven- dish is tired.
 For the little girl who was called Adele Austerlitz when she and her brother, Fred, came to Broadway from Omaha, Neb., is no longer acc customed to the pedestrian and noisy pleasures that our big towns have to offer. Time was when Adela Astaire was the life of the party at Park Avenues salon ex- travaganZas and made little pro- test about weariness or satiety. But no more.
 Lady Cavendish now has re. responsibilities.
 The last time your correspon- dent chatted with the mistress oi Lonsmore Castle, our topic dealt even not for a moment, with such silly items as tap dancing, musical eI1nxxya and %1aA IAAat oax.a ad(nx.S1A al the year. But rambled on, instead about the cost of a castles upkeer in Irleand, agrarian expense and the relationship between the Irish Free State and England. Erstwhile Adele of the arm and leg shows was well informed on the subjects o1 How to Manage a Salmon Fishery Budgetii1g the Castle Pantry ant other domestic etceteras. Not 8 bit like the hurly-burly of Broadway ol the ennui of Omaha, Neb. Besides the Cavendishes retire at 10, wher at home.
 Paths of Glorification
 What has become of the Ziegfelt girls? This is a fine time to bt posing that very query because thu late Great G1orifier is being post. humously honored in the east ant west right now. From Hollywood will soon come @ tallSie callet "The Great Ziegfeld," recountini the Glorifier's career. On Broad way is 1886 edition of "The Zieg. field Follies" unto which Billie Burke, his widow, lends her supper and her name. And yet, only ont Ziegfeld lady appears in the Broad. way revue and three or four are ir the film.
 Where, then, are they all? With Bernard Sobels help-anC Squire Sobel was the Great Zieg' fields first lieutenant for years your correspondent learns of, al least, several whereabouts. Fannil Brice is in the "Follies" on thu Rialto, out of sentiment, perhaps for she was one of Ziegfeld's mos loyal girls. Virginia Bruce, Ca mile Lanier and Harriet Hoctor all of whom graced the line ai showgirls in previous years, appeal in Hollywood's hangoutS. Paulette Goddard, once Q danc' CT in the Glorifier's revues, is now as you all know, Charlie Chaplini favorite and leading lady. Su' zanne Fleming, out of whose slip per champagne was slipped, van. ished from the limelight after ap' bearing in a few pictures witt Adolphe Menjou.
 Shining Example
 Ina Claire, who once stood ii the rear row of Follies enchantress es, did pretty well by herself. S' well that she is now consideret Americas foremost comedienne.
 It was she, as a matter of fact who inspired several of her play mates to pursue dramatic career for themselves. Like pretty Mar Alice Rice who is now an under study in Pride and Prejudice. And then there was Gypsy Ros Lee, now the highest paid strip tease dancer in the burlesque bust ness. And Jessica Reade who ha a daughter old and lovely enoug to grace the front lines of the cur rent Follies.
 Recall Dorothy Knapp. the Mis America, who was so widely cd vertised? She now lives quietly 1 Tudor City and studies sculpture Or Claire Luce. who received nor proposals of marriage in her da than any other of her contenpc rary showgirls? Now in London. Q outstanding actress in legitlmal Ipinys.
 But they rcmenisce sadly ( Marion GtFasmick. who later be came Marion "Kiki' Roberts, sweet heart of the slain gangsser, Leg Diamond. And even more sadly { Flo Lane. who for unexplained rec lnons. committed suicide.
