New York Letter
by Lucy Jeanne Price
NEW YORK, July 29.—America always likes to have her titled ex-daughters come home and visit and give her a chance to see how they carry it off. So there is a decided flip given to the interest New York is feeling in the approaching visit of Lord Beatty, first lord of the British Admiralty and Lady Beatty; for she is a daughter of the late Marshall Field, of Chicago. While in New York, Lord and Lady Beatty will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Lambert Field-Tree.
Nell Martin used to be a regular newspaper man-out in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. But through a press agent's job, he got to be an actor; with Stuart Walker’s company. Last year, to his own surprise he was offered a two-year’s contract by A. H. Woods. "A two year contract!" gasped Nell to himself, when he was safely alone. "Now why on earth, would anybody want me to work for them for two years?" Not having entirely got over being a newspaperman, he decided that the way to find out was to ask. So he went to Wood's agent. "It isn't that I'm not appreciative or that I'm unduly modest," he said, "but say, as man to man, will you tell me just what got that two year clause in my contract? Have you some special part in mind for next season—or what? The agent took his cigar from his mouth and replied, 'I'll tell you why, Martin.' It's because you're the only juvenile in the business that looks as though he still thought babies grew on trees." And yet they say that, reporting is sophisticated work!
No matter whether you ever take a vacation or not, you just can't help thinking about one along about this time of summer. I know perfectly well that I am going to sit around on Manhattan Island, writing letters about it and trying to decide whether it really does make you warmer to drink cold things, and maybe go as prominent among those assembled were Mr. and Mrs. Hudson Maxim, seated in center; standing. Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, second from right; Dr. Hutchison, center; and Williams, formerly Internal Revenue.

No matter whether you ever take a vacation or not, you just can't help thinking about one along about this time of summer. I know perfectly well that I am going to sit around on Manhattan Island, writing letters about it and trying to decide whether it really does make you warmer to drink cold things, and maybe go far as Brighton once a week. And still—The other day my stay in town decision had a pretty bad jolt, when I discovered how much cheaper it is to go away! Twelve dollars a week—and no new clothes but a middy and a pair of bloomers! One hundred and fifty Y. W. C. A camps scattered about the country are the secret of that, and they do sound attractive. Last summer 50000 girls spent their vacations in those camps, they told me the other day at the National Board headquarters. On the seashore, in the mountains, or on the shore of a lake, wherever their geography and inclination determined, Tennis, basketball cross-country hikes; and fishing, swimming, mountain climbing; rowing, canoeing, and a lot of other things are all in the plan, and the joy of them heightened by that afore-described costume. Pienics, course, and all sorts of games are incidents of the weeks. And they would let me do what just this minute seems most alluring of all—just sit and then sleep. Well, it's a wonderful thing for the 50,000 whether I succumb to the temptation or no.
Undoubtedly the only institution in the world which is obliged to maintain a special telephone for humorists is the New York Aquarium. Almost every other time that the operator there takes up the receiver, some one inquires for Mr. Fish—or Mr. Crabb, or some other such clever name. The joke is almost always on the inquirer, of course. The t. b. m. comes back to his office from lunch and finds a note on his desk to call the number and name. The joke is as old as the Aquarium, probably, but there seem to be enough people who don't know it to keep it up year after year. Each year on April Fool's day, the telephone is disconnected from midnight on.
Getting accustomed to short skirts is probably what did it. But anyway, it is comfortable and efficient and seems pretty sensible. In half a dozen suburbs of New York, the fair housewives have taken to watering the lawn in their bathing suits! "I started using it to do the work around the house," exclaimed one trim young matron. "And it certainly was comfortable; oh! just wonderful to work in. Then I got the lawn watering idea. At first the neighbors stared, but not for long; and now nearly every woman in the block is doing it. When we're through we just turn the hose redeemed things were, overcounts, suitcases, furs, camcars, sweaters, canes, fishing rods, pocketbooks, bathing suits, owls, dogs, parrots, canaries, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs! Now could anyone lose an owl or a guinea pig and never notice it?
Efforts have been made at various times to mould New York into a center for artistic dancing, much as Petrograd used to be, and as Paris always has been. One more serious attempt to accomplish this is being furthered, and it will undoubtedly achieve some success. Louis Chalif is to build a miniature theatre, seating about 400 people in the Chalif studio building; opposite Carnegie Hall, where he will present his own pupils in aesthetic and folk dances, and will use as a mecca of encouragement for young dancers who are seeking a career but have no opportunity.
This is the leastest theatrical season for New York in many years. Only 17 of the Broadway district's 57剧院 are open right now when the number has always been from 20 to 25. Of the 17 running, seven are musical. There is this to be said, on the other hand; the breathing spell between seasons is shorter each year, so it doesn't make so much difference how completely a vacuum may be the breath that is drawn. About seven weeks is its limit, this year.
It's a pretty thankless task being a juror, anyhow; and it undoubtedly causes more anti-patriotic efforts at evasion than any war we ever got up. But the poor juror of New York City is in a particular tough situation. For there isn't any money with which to pay him his hard-earned and munificent $3 per day, which he was earning in theory; while business piled up in his office unattended to. The U. S. marshal's office has on hand just $6.10 with which to pay the $1700 now owing to various sets of 12 good men and trust Attorney General Daugherty has been appealed to for help by some of the waiting ones.
The latest Paradigm protest belongs to the children within the expressive Williams, formerly Internal Revenue.

Why don't people try to get back their belongings which they leave on trains? Are they just naturally too discouraged by their pessimistic idea of their fellow travelers, or what is the trouble? When they are taking long trips, you might understand it. They get too far away and they have learned that they took too much baggage anyhow; they're grateful for any that is lost. But here's the Long Island rialroad, a commuters' road, pure and simple. Same people travel on it right along and are never far from home anywhere along its course. Yet of the 7,500 articles left on their trains and in their stations last year, only 2,393 were called for. And here is an idea of what the un-

Williams, formerly Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
In the lofty tower of the Woolworth Building, more than an eighth of a mile above New York's busy financial district, Dr. Hutchison outlined his plans for the advancement of civilization through invention. The purposes and scope of the organization, he stated, are:
1. The investigation and development of worthy inventions through co-operative efforts on the part of inventors, engineers and scientists.
2. The correlation of the world's causes by development of unworthy ideas by group research and development.
4. The movement is to have worldwide scope and is to afford every opportunity to fundamental ideas that are sound and practical for the perfecting and marketing of such ideas.
Dr. Hutchison is the inventor of the Klaxon, Horn, the Acousticon for the deaf, and many electrical appliances. He has just incorporated his own company to carry out his new scheme. Among the directors are Sir Edgar Recs Jones, M.P., former chief of the priorities division, British Ministry of Munitions.
The Village Gossip
Are the waves really wild?
—wildly jealous—
—of a beautiful girl?
Who knows?
Perhaps, if one could sense what the waves are saying today, he might be able to tell a curious world just why Old Neptune sent a particularly wild and spectacular wave over the shore, completely engulfing Frank W. Caprilen and Karl Yenns, famous artists, sweeping their splendid nearly-completed sketches of Olive Anne Alcorn, cut loose.
All this happened when Miss Alcorn was posing for the artists on a volcanic rock formation in a secluded spot in Nigger canyon.
The artists had just pronounced Olive Anne Alcorn's figure perfect. They likened her to the Venus de Medici—the Florentine type rather than the Grecian, or Venus de Milo type, as she had famied her figure. From the studio of Grace Jay Swan the party had gone down the beach and Miss Alcorn was an aluring picture as she posed on the rock with the breakers crashing over it.
Many motion picture cameras recorded the scene. And just as the artists had completed their sketches came the breakers that carried their canvasses away.
Are the wild waves really wild? Who knows?

Indignation over the cost of that life-necessity, the glass of soda water. Five cents, they insisted, when they reached official quarters and placed their petition before the borough president's secretary, is quite enough to pay. Particular punch is given to the children's clausby by the fact that Borough President Bruckner is himself head of one of the largest soda water manufacturing concerns in the city.
Some enterprising soft-drink salesman has hit upon a clever plan of putting something of a kick into the purchase of drinks over his country without encroaching upon either the liquor or anti-gambling law. It's a little roulette wheel with names of the drinks on them—from the simple sarsaparilla up to "malden's delight" and it does "attract people," he said. They like to spin to see what to drink. And it's funny the way they'll drink whatever it hits whether they like it or not—just for the sake of the gamble. Luck is with me when the expensive drinks are struck, of course. But it's an honest wheel, and it doesn't win or lose anything for anybody except ordinary, purchase money. It does, however, concede a little something to the gambling instinct and so they like it."
Hospitality to Robert Dillon, 432 East 159th-st., means hospitality. None of this cold "Glad to see you. Sorry I'm so busy" stuff for him. When a friend of his comes to town, he sees the town, inside and out. If Robert Dillon has anything to say about it. Consequently—the other day a friend come from far away. He confided to Mr. Dillon that the wish of his life had been to see the New York fire department in action.
Harold Goodwin will be seen tonight at the Grand in "Oliver Twist, Jr." It is a picturization of Dickens' famous story. Neal Hart will be seen Saturday night in the "Black Sheep."
He wished it would happen that they might see it. "Happen!" shortened his host. "Happen nothing! We don't wait for things to happen when we're entertaining visitors." And he up and pulled the key in a fire alarm box. Everything took place with sufficient haste and excitement to satisfy the most wishful visitor. Three engines, three hose carts, everything—all at once and in fine fettle. But complications ensued for the hospitable Mr. Dillon, and as the patrolman led him away, his interested friend from far away faded out of sight.
