ordering Salisbury steak for years
before knowing it was just plain
hamburger. Those cafes that open
and close so suddenly on side streets
usually represent the life savings
of some waiter or captain. Prettily
named suburbs: Locust Valley, Old

to write that swell autobiography

many other softies cannot help
thinking of the Duke of Windsor

see King Georges photographs. The
only writers we have thought coulo
write of Manhattan in the o. Henry

money: Frank Ward OMalley. And
the most picturesque of city editors
the tragic Charles Chaplin, of the
