Crabs, both hardshell and soft shell, are obtainable at all sea- sons. And they are surprisingly inexpensive. In the west end, along the, Pontchartrain drive, are a number of notable but small sea- ! food diners where bathers emerge from the water and appease their appeties over quantities of clans, | shrimp, oysters and other gifts from the sea. This is one of the things to do-go swimming at night and follow with seafood dinner.
 At nights the bars and supper clubs in the exclusive hotels are all ways crowded. The Roosevelt bar is perhaps the most unusual in the city. It is brand new It is. pam neled entirely in African walnut. the wood coming from one gigantic tree. To this unusual setting Paul Ninas has lent four murals, tho subject matter of which are pecu- liar to the Deep South. There is a cotton picking scene, a market scene, a river front scene, and a procession of tourists on a tour of the French Quarter. All are in bril- liant colors and set in graceful curves.
 It was here that Meigs Frost, newspaperman and local char acter, introduced me to the Fl Die, tador This is a cocktail based on rum.

DINE WELL IN NEW ORLEANS,
 SAYS TUCKER
New York Columnist Finds Easy Formality in
 Southern City
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30. = Im- pression of Manhattan columnist in New Orleans: people dine well here And they seem happy. asked Seymour Weiss how he explains this, and he replied: There isn't much outside capital here. The peo- pie own everything themselves. And there's oil all over Louisiana New wells come in every day"
 And people dress well here There is an easy formality to the general picture. During summer in New York people go around in sport shirts and shirt sleeves, fre- quently without ties. They dress to suit their own moods. It isn't like that in New Orleans. You dress com fortably, but you don't sit down to dinner without a necktie or coat.
 Native Orleaneans are devoted to sea foods, of which there is al- ways an abundance. When the shrimp fleet goes out each season it is blessed by high dignitaries of the church. Shrimp are very inn portant here, they are a culture and you can never hope to be a connoisseur until you know the difference between river shrimp and lake shrimp.

That's why we often get found
out in our perfidy. When a fell
low is just the opposite and
cloaks his life in mystery, 1t
sounds bad. He may be a detec-
tive or Government agent. But
such chaps are smart enough to
give the Semblance of frankness
about their doings. So we will
just have to believe your friend
has plenty to hide or he
wouldn't be so mysterious.
A girl has no right to be so
foolish that she entrusts her
self to the company Of a man
of mystery. A zeal man wouldn't
expect a girl to give him her
time, unless she knew all about
him. This chap can only fool
you so long as you let him get
away with it.. Most girls would
send him packing unless they
were informed just what this
mystery was all about. I suspect
the gentleman has a wife some
where.
Stop seeing him until he
clears up the mystery.

I am divorced, and I obtained,

You are right about the cor

you obtained court permission

New Material
Gives Effect
OF ICeing
By Bah Lincoln

WHETHER you go in for
w sprucely tailored slip
covers or the new celophane
material transparent cover
ings, your house takes on a
fresh dress for the summer
months.
While there is much to be
said for expertly fashioned slip
covers for your sofas and chairs,
with cool white curtains at the
windows, there is perhaps no
better way to treat the town
house than that indicated in the
accompanying photographs.
The specially treated material
must be cut and fitted as care
fully as though it were chintz
or linen. It is extremely
durable though transparent.
It shines with a lovely light, so
that a room hung in it gives
the impression of being lately
coated with a film of glisten-
ing ice.
Protects
From Dust
The curtains can be made all
enveloping, even the draped
valance at the top being entirely
encased so that neither moth
nor dust can reach the rare
brocades the summer through.
Lamp-shades, sofas and pillows
and even the pictures on the
walls and the art objects about
the room are protected in the
same manner.
The material comes in several
tints, the rooms pictured are
hung in a delicate melon color,
which with the thin material
fills the room with the most
delicate hint of color.

With modern world pep
pered with Omen, plutocratic
racketeers, detectives and
agents, we do have our mystery
men. But most of those men,
toned about are smart enough
to give the semblance of OPEN
ness to their actions. So when
we have a real man of mystery,
we men can't help but think he
hides behind the smoke screen
Of secrecy because his motives
require that.
Mysterious Man
Is Dangerous
Girls who don't understand
len very well or who are ro-
mantle to the degree of COM
hitting folly don't want to be-
lieve Mr.. Mystery Man is a dan
gerous proposition. Or if they
do, they like the thrill of play
ing with that danger. But what
a. sad lot they are when discov-
cry comes and there is some
thing cheap or rotten behind
the cover-up of the man. Here
is a letter from a girl who has
a will of the wisp, mystery man
as a boy friend.
"Dear Mr.. Antheil: What is
your opinion of the man I am
writing about? We have been
friends for four years. He has
never asked me to marry him
although he tells me how sweet
I am, how much personality I
possess and how nice looking
am.
"The man does not live in this
town. But he comes here on bus
mess, making trips every two
months. When he comes he
spends a week end here and
sometimes longer. Just to reach
here for the evening he will
travel for 100 miles. He tells me
about his friends and has even
shown me letters they write to
him.
'"There is something queer
about him, however. When he is
going to make a visit he calls
me long distance. But after he
has gone never hear a word
from him until time for his next
visit. Sometimes he says he is
thinking of getting married but
never does. I told him I would
only marry for love, but if he
wants to marry someone else he
should go ahead and that I
would do the same some day.
But I want a real home when
I marry.
"He is very jealous Of me. The
girls are all crazy about him
but although love him I make
him keep his distance.-BEE A."
Glue Him
The Air
Now you have me intrigued.
For I know that men don't make
mysteries of themselves unless
they have good reasons. The
trouble with us men is we are
almost too open, as a rule.
