NEW YORK, April 22. Such a nice
large variety of human tastes thevo
are in the world! And this city caters
to them all. Especially when it somes
to pets! The other day In the window
of a shop in the Hudson Terminal
building, I read this sign: "Baby
Boa Constrictors, one dollar each."
By the way, it Is rather interesting
to observe that most of the world's
famous dancers make up a regular

Duncan, 'Maude Allen, Genee, and
many others.

One 'of the most grievous angles

of "Dorian 'Hope," the poe; whose
real name turns out to havj been
Bret Holland, and who has recently
departed for parts unknown, leaving
behind unhappy haberdashers, pub
Ushers and photographers, is that ot
the disappointed maids' to whom he
dedicated poems. There is no use talk
ing, however unsentimental one may
be, it Is a blow to learn that the
yearning lines addressed to one were
in fact written by a member of one's
own feminine sex, and just taken over,
as it were, by the attractive man
whose name was signed. And such
seems to be the case. 'Miss Miriam
Vedder was surprised to discover just
about the time "Hope" disappeared
that most of the verses in his volume
"Pearls and Pomegranates" were her
own -which had been previously pub
lished unddr other titles. And among
those written by her were all which
he had generously dedicated to fair
maids of his acquaintances. 'Hope is
said to be right now in Italy getting
acquainted with D'Annunzio.
Cotton stockings are still worn. And
by whom, do you suppose? Some prac

miere, danseuse, and by as many of
her Ballet Russe girls as she can m

her girls are English, the influencing
is not impossible. There are two rea
sons according to the Russian firefly,
'why she makes her ballet up of them
rather than Americans. ''One is that
American girls' ankles and feet are
not heavy and strong enough for Rus
sian dancing and the other is the

sending "English tweeds" to Austra
lia, and Paris is sending jazz songs to
New York. Truly! Within the last
i two weeks, the products of this latest
French industry has begun to arrive
here; and they are the real thing. One
of the latest songs from their boule
vards is "Paris Qui Jazz," which any
member of the A. E. F. will tell you
means "Paris which jazzes," And at
least half a dozen others have begun
to bo heard about the environs of
Broadway.
Manhattan is .wondering if soma
terrible cataclysm, is about to descend
upon it; if maybe the island is go
ing to fall down into its subways or
become a victim of a subterranean
volcano. For its cats are migrating
to Brooklyn. Now, everyone knows
that cats are loath to change their
habitats; they will stay with a house
rather than follow a family to a new
one. But for some inexplicable reason,
this spring is seeing a rapid move of
a seemingly large part of Ihe island's
feline population over across the way
to Long Island. How they get there
no one knows. But that doesn't wor
ry Manhattan as much as why. Brook
lyn citizens are complaining, too. The
Inrush disturbs their sleep, their
babies, and. their churchi services,
they protest; and they add unkind
"Freda"" Julkowska of East. Twelfth
street, has lost her beau. It Is a par-J
ticularly annoying instance ot that
not uncommon tragedy because ot
the fact that it is due to lack of judg
ment rather than of affection on the
beau's part. John Deerskl, a waiter,
and according to Miss Julkowska a
very good one, was so much In love
that he threatened suicide if sffo did
not marry him. Then to prove that
he wasn't bluffing, the suicide took
place theoretically at least. His hat
and coat and a ferewell note of
passionate affection to his adored
one, were found on the Manhattan
bridge following the waiter's disap
pearance. Now then Deerskl has re
appeared, but only at a comparative
distance. Miss Julowska reports that
he has been seen many times near
ner home in the last few days, but
that he is afraid to return to his
home or to her because his friends
will "kid him." So far as she can seo,
unless he can be persuaded to brace
up. It's one beau gone lust as much
as though he had lived up to that
farewell note.

nls. and such things nre something
for the evangelists to worry about, in
tiio opinion of Mayoress Forest, but
when a town needs a good scrubbing
behind the ears, there is a job a wom
an executive can handle to a Cjueen's
taste.
"The- first thing we are going to lo
is to use soap and water on our town,"
she totd the United Mews. "The par't
in a sight, there Is dust, all over the
''city council rooms and the city hall
hasn't had a real bath since goodness
knows when. Then we will order the j
grass trimmed In the cemetery and j
flowers planted. We will then go to j
work on the other things.
"We have been given too much ad-'
vice on how to run our town already
by super-minds and we don't need
any more. There seems to be much
concern about what we women will
do about the Sunday amusement and
short skirt problems. We are quite
willing to let the evangelists worry
about those things."
Mayoress Forest does not know yet
whether .she will appoint a woman
town marshal or not. Right now she
does not know a woman in Thayer
who Is husky Enough to, handle the
job.
