man went into the marines as . seaman and came out as Q cap- tain. I was QuAte outraged that you should make such a bungle and at the time was sorely tempted to write Q note to square you away relative to your error. My face assumed . very rosy red color upon reading your column of last Sum- day in which you explained just how such 8 thing could and did come about.
 My reason for writing you is to thank you for what think is . very valuable lesson. Particularly in these times. I am now very much in agreement with the sentiments of Ambrose Bierce, who I think 1t was said something to the effect that being positive was being wrong at the top of ones voice, was positive you were wrong and I felt little bit sorry for you in your ignorance.
 This lesson will stand me in good stead. think that this would be a much nicer world if we were all a little less certain that I'm right and if we were c Nttle more considerate of the other fellows ideas. Thanks again. Sincerely" New York Story: He is recent importation from the old country He got over fine in @ swank night spot. His weekly income was around 5000 via wages plus per- centage .. E.

 Jimmy Gardiner, the play-pro- ducer, told this at Leone's the other night. During the war he was visited by wealthy neighbor from Texas, an aging woman who had an oveT-powering yen for the perfect string of pearls. Gardiner recom- mended Carriers .. There she was served by 8 young clerk who mis- took her unprepoSsessing appear ance for poverty and showed her the lowest-priced strings =. She demanded better ones until the stores stock was exhausted and only the vault remained. She in- sisted on going into it ,. The clerk pulled out their finest pearls and showed them to her. It was just what she was looking for. She asked how much "The price, said the clerk haughtiiy, "is @5OO,- 900" "I'n take It." said the wo- man, opening her purse and eM- tracting a half-million dollars in cash! The clerk keeled over with 8 heart attack.
 Norman Grang recently produced a jazz concert at Carnegie Hall. It sold out Norman was once engaged to Southern society gal named Virginia. He was so in love with Virginia that he chris tened the theme song of the con- cert: Love You Virginia Blues, But, alas, Virginia, who never hung around back stage before changed fellers - from Norman to hot jazz man in the crew =. . She returned his ring And now, sohelpus, as the curtain comes down on each concert an announcer in- troduces the newly titled theme song, to wit: Drop Dead Virginia Blues"
