Subscription Rates 52.50 Per Glance Notables Parade Down Street By 0. 0. M'Intyre New York, june 13-This seems to be the season for all the New York elite to display their new duds. I stood on the corner and got an eyeful. I First detained Mr. Burt Moulton, famed humorist. I had been waiting for such an excellent opportunity to question him con- cerning his new song hit My Louise . After talking to him I am still in a fog as to why a humorist should write such a song. My only satisfaction was By Godfrey , from Burt--a man never known to swear before. Next I bumped into a man I had long desired to meet, Mr. Philip Merrill, the new manager of Ziegfeld's Follies. He promised that the production Girl Crazy , opening next week, will be a wow. Take it from Phil-he ought to know! The star of the show is Miss Dorothy Sprau, formerly of Kalamazoo, Michigan. She'll be remembered for her excellent work in For the Sake of Paul . Mr. Robert Harrington, motorcycle speed king has returned to New York after a lengthy stay in Battle Creek, Michigan, with Mrs. Harrington. He gave me a lift to Coney Island on his motorcycle and I am now of the opinion that it would have been better if he had remained in Battle Creek. Page Twenty-eight JUST FOR FUN By Betty Parker fAll rights reservedl Today's Thought Tempus Fugit Some Slight Comment By Jiminy Today I noticed on the links of the Kala- mazoo Country Club Mrs. Walter Hagen and Mrs. Robert Jones, nee Judy Crane and Priscilla Crockett. They're learning from their husbands how to lessen their scores, but as the old saying goes- We all have a lot to learn g we expect to see Judy and Percy spending most of their time trying to hit the ball. Mr. Merl Loehr and Mr. Creighton San- derson were rolling down the rue in a spiffy new car today. The Sta-Comb Hair Tonic Business must be picking up. I noticed Betty Jane Hodges and Dorothy Simpson at the track meet the other day. Must be they still go in for mile races, al- though the real estate and furniture busi- nesses suffer during these hours. Elizabeth Musselman, president of Welles- ley College has brought a group of her pupils to view our fair city and find out if there really is a Zoo in Kalamazoo, or if it's all a big fairy tale.

A reception rivaling that of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's of years gone by, greeted him and showed appreciation of his singular feet . Schumacher flew around the world in two days, stopping only in Venice to take a ride in a gondola. On his return, Schumacher was congrat- ulatedby the President of the United States, Glenn ,S. Allen. Mayor Stuart Russell of New York City gave him the Key to the city- and oh! what a Key. The first night he was royally entertained with a beautiful banquet at the Ritz by Governor VVilliam Kennedy of New York State. Music was furnished by Evvy Clark's Crooners doing a specialty number of Sweet Adeline . Later in the evening a lovely floor show was put on by the Croon- ers . The feature number was We'd Make a Peach of a Pair by Schlobohm and Drake, better known as Ruthie and Norm. The next evening the Secretary of Agri- culture, Harry Garrison, entertained them at the New York Opera House, where they .heard the great prima donna, Catherine Ettwein, sing Love, You Funny Thing . A special feature was the appearance of Ruth Bartoo, famed flutist. Mr. Schumacher collapsed, the entertain- ment proving too much after so many sleep- less nights. Artists' Conf ab Here At the artists' convention held here last week many beautiful paintings were exhibit- ed. Among them was a portrait entitled Sir john done in exquisite style by Bar- bara Knorr. fMrs. Sir johnl. Another prize-winning portrait was one of a marshall painted by Lou Barrows.
