 Rapid changes in temperature are always common in January and February. Rated the hardest of the winter months, you can usu- ally depend on these two months, also to produce the winters mildest and coldest days in rapid succession. Twenty or thirty degrees rise or fall is not as uncommon as might seem.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Jan. 27.-People who wander into lavish night clubs, with lavish floor shows. and wonder how the owner meets the overhead, rent, lights, etc) need waste no pity upon the management. That's why there are concessionaires. Over at Billy Roses Casa Manana, a concession aire pays $40,000 or more each year for the privilege of checking hats and attending to the lounges.
 Billy gets fixed rake-off, also, on the sale of programs, cigarettes 1 and gardenias. That takes care of some of his fixed expenses, be busi- ness good or bad.
 Sherman Billingsley gets $15,000 each year from hat-checking clique and with that sum, he con- i soles his landlord. The rumor runs, by the way, that Billingsley as- signed this privilege to his three bartenders and that they are waxing rich on the investment.
 You'd be surprised at other figures offered night club owners for the right to store hats and cloaks. John Perona gets $10,00O or more from l the concessionaire at Fl Morocco and similar sums are spent by the cloakroom at places like La Conga. The profits from such investments go only to the concessionaire and not to the young lady who takes charge of your outer garments. So you are not being a patron angel to the little lady if you happen to be a $5 tipper. Such extravagant gratu- ities go right into the strong-box, out of which the little lady will draw $25, and no more, at the end of her fiscal week.

 A friend of mine went to Holly wood to write scenarios and his first letter home starts: My Holly wood imitation was like this: I asked the phone operator whether there's copy of the Encyclopedia Brtitanica anywhere on the lot. She answered, What do you want that for2 The only thing you can get out it is FACTS.'"
 Feline Fantasy
 This is Whitney Bottoms tale of feline hauteur: a composer writhed at his piano half the day trying to conquer an eyaSive tune. Finally, in despair, he walked away from the piano. slumped in chair and sulked out of utter illustration. While he moaned, the kitten who was his pet, bounded into the room, vaulted to the keyboard and ran down the keys with cadenza. That's it!" the composer cried. That's it. Do it again. kitty, it's exactly what I wanted"
 The kitten gave him cold stare. And wouldn't budge. "All right, you rat!" yelled the composer, mixing up his menagerie. "I'll try to do 1t my self" He went back to the piano. brushed the kitten away from the keyboard. As the little four-footed fellow slipped down, he played an- other cadenza on the ivory keys. Wait" yelled the composer, that's almost 1t again. Why didn't you do 1t right the second tjme?" The kit ten gave him another cold stare. "Well, what do you expect?" the kit- ten retorted. You pushed me"

Now would be the moment for a
stranger to go to the social mecca
and "take it by storm" =. There
is a proportion of three femmes
for one male these days {. and
you should see the "fuss" the girls
make over very second-choice guy
whom they hadn't even noticed

Oh, no! l would never say that
Newport is an ideal place for
girl to find a husband and,
amazingly enough, Newport is the
spot where you find the choicest
selection of social "glamourettes"
in the country.
Since Frank Shields has left,
young Lord George Paulett has a
big chance to get to the leading po-
sition as the most important" and
charming" man in Newport
Unfortunately, even the short, but
good-looking, English lord is leav-
ing soon D.. He is H'wood bound!
=. The noble Britisher knows how
to crash the movies, as he made
a film test in England, and we
wouldn't be surprised to find him
outdoing the Earl of Warwick
Lord Paulett has been staying
with that charming international
hostess, Mrs. Herbert Shipman,
who has gone for English house
guests in big way this year.
Another of her British guests

Penelope Dudley Ward, who played
a part in French Without Tears"
.. Lady Stabley of Alderley (Au-
drey to her friends), who was over
in Newport last year, will be very
much missed when she returns to
England in a few weeks Also,
Mrs. Shipman sails for England
in October and expects to do a lot
of travelling around the world be-
fore she comes back I wonder
whether she'll be still serious, by
then, about "Winkie" Thomas :.
as they have been seen persistently
together for the last year or so.
Prince George of Russia has
gone back to New York, and this
should console the ladies for the
loss of other males, because the
prince is very popular and beloved
in Newport society AS mat
ter of fact, Rooshians and British
ers are the leaders in the swanky
summer resort It's true, though,
that George" doesn't replace ex-
actly a man like Shields in the
younger set, but he is considered
le vrai charmeur by all the "big"
Newport hostesses George"
used also to go around with the
youngsters when he was engaged"
to Lesley Bogert few years ago,
but since "it" didn't work out to
be a 'final decision," the prince
is now definitely mingling with the
older crowd.

DETE GROGAN has decided
L that the younger crowd
should perfect their bridge game
for the coming winter, and right
now is the time to do it. So he
has gotten them all in the mood
and three times a week these
bridge sessions are in full force
at some one or the others
house. The real reason, however,
for these bridge sessions Is far
different from what one might
suppose. 1t is the only way Pete
could think Of, to be amused,
without the exertion Of dancing,
the trouble Of driving his car to
a dozen different night spots
and the sweet knowledge that he
could sit down for four hours
with two electric fans, smack on
him.

Shore to visit Nancy Letter, and
"Jock" Merriam, who has gone

Leslie Hyde Ripley, debbie
daughter of the Henry Ripleys, is
being given a big season this year
First, it has been Newport,
with large dance; then Europe,
with everything from sightseeing
to "whoopee-ing" and later in
the season New York, so that she
can really be called an accom-
plished" debutante . By the way,
we are still hearing stories about
the already so-much-publicized Rip
ley ball. It seems that Mrs. Rip
ley received several letters of
"bIame" after the "big event" and
that she turned all the "blame"
against the social writer's. Mrs.
Ripley, you know, is one of these
ladies who simply hates" pub
licity.
That's probably why all the
papers headlined and played up her
party! Why, how could Mrs.
Ripley allow the radio to announce
that her party cost 100000 when
the expenses couldn't have sur
passed the amount of $2O,O0O?. -.
Or maybe Mrs. Ripley expected all
the social writers to do like that
columnist who heralded before the
party that he was the only one Gin
vited" and that he would give you
all the details, and the day after
the party turned up to be the only
one who hadn't written a word
about it cause even those news
getters who didn't get "asked"
managed to make up clever COM
positions.
