1t is not the policy OF this oe-
partment to tell people how to con-
duct their business affairs. We
think the Colony Restaurant ought
to be warned, though, that there is
more in the future for it than Sc
renity. The Colony is dedicated to
a way of life. Unrest may sweep
over the world, a cloud no bigger,
say, than that one Krakatoa
belched forth to put the globe in
darkness that time. Old orders
may be swept away.
No old orders are being swept
away at the Colony. though. The
Colony is dedicated to the best
in food, to the sort of cuisine that
will allure the most exacting OF
appetites. 1t is dedicated to the i'm
peccable service of those accepted
in the best quarters. 1t is dedicated,
in short, to the sumptuous banquet
ing Of those who still can sneer at
a pound of hamburger instead OF
regarding it with the awe hereto
fore reserved for pound OF pure
platinum.
The Colony, ever alert to the
needs of it's special guests, will take
any necessary pains to please them.
Tt is our privilege to announce to-
day that the Colony, mindful that
dog is often woman's best friend, is
setting up in it's basement Puppy
Parlor." No longer need you worry
if your dog frets and works himself
up into a case for a psychiatrist Il,
left alone too long. No longer need
you worry If you can't locate dog
sitter when the urge strikes you to
dine out.
The Colony will take care of the
pooch for you, in that handsomely
appointed Puppy Parlor" in the
basement. 1t will even feed him,
if his dinner hour comedies with
yours, though our informant does
not say whether it will feed him
Colony filet mignon or mere $l.89-
a-pound plebeian hamburger.
This is all very nice for the dogs
that can afford it, but we think
the Colony ought to be warned that
it could lead to trouble. If you ever
see nondescript pack of loose Ca
mines setting up guillotine in La
fayette Park, you head for the Col
ony. That's where the fun Is going
to be-
We can picture it now, the Dober-

Ford's Newest Models
Presented al PrevieW
Al WaIdof-Astoria
By the Assoeiatsd Pres.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The new
model Ford was unveiled today in
strictly private preview, and you
would never know that she is a
great-grandaughter of the old Tin
Lizzie.
The car is lighter. lower, longer
and more expensive than old models.
Interior and exterior color is imagi-'
native, but there is a marked reduc-
ton in the use of f1ashy chrome
finishing inside and out that char
acterized so many postwar automo-
bile models.
Private unveiling ceremonies in
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel spread
out over an area as big as eight
basketball courts. 1t is the largest
show ever staged at the Waldorf.
