wife, "I told you rubbers would not

While certain presentable ypung
men, possessed of dinner clothes,
succeeded in "crashing the gates" at
parties, an unknown maiden sticks
outat even largest affairs like a sore
thumb. The men can get away with
it because the cutting-in system at
dances makes it difficult for the
hostess to know all of the numerous
extras each girl is likely to "drag."

how unlucky black cats are.
Singing taxi drivers may be
heard all over New York, and pe
culiarly perhaps, it's when business
is dull. A song helps pass the time
and icill the monotonous noise ot
an idling engine.
The fashionable and so-called ex
clusive clubs in Manhattan main
tain dignified seclusion behind un
marked portals. The proximity of
some clubs and the absence of dis
tinguishing signs, however, occa
sionally confuse the members. It is
said that actors headed for the
Lambs club frequently wander into
a fraternity building next door by
mistake.
Philologists, and mothers who
wish their offsprings would use
the more euphonious word "stom
ach," should know that from east
to west the kids are much alike. A
caption writer on a paper, trying
to recall the juvenile word for the
lying-down position in coasting,
discovered the following differences
around the copy desk: belly-buster,
belly-gangin', and even belly-guts,
terms used in New York; belly
.bumpers, Minnesota; belly-bumps,
Utah; and belly-bumbose, Boston.
The composing room knew another,
for in the paper it appeared belly-whoppers.

The dinner jacket has succeeded
formal attire among men at the
debutante parties. Less than fifteen
years ago two smart beaux were
asked to leave a party because they
wore tuxedos. Today a Itvhite tie in
the stag line is as rare as a deb
without a cigarette case.
At a recent ambassadorial dinner
goblets of dark red Burgundy and
golden Sauterne stood beside the
plates of the ambassador and two
of his guests. On the ambassador'
left sat .Emory Buckner, United
States Attorney. Beside his plate
stood a goblet filled with water and
tinkling ice. Toasts were drunk, Mr.
Buckner touching his glass to that
of the ambassador.
