SLIPPERS FOR THE e —————— THE DAILY AL/\SK/\ EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 21, 2 Wu‘v.s Living wllh I Man Venderof Chestnuts Dlsappears Forforn Charaders‘, Sé en Mostly:in New York, Dropping Qut By GEORGE TUSKER NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—The lone- | liest and most forlorn creature in\ New York is the chestnut vender. | Somebody—I think it was the late | 0. O. McIntyre—described him nn(xej as ‘“a scarecrow on a windswept | corner, sucking at sorrow like a | lollipop.” Odd was in very good | form when he wrote that phrase. | For the man with the charcoal smudge is one of the unforgettable | } vignettes of metropolitan life. You will find him where the crowds | are thickest and where the winds | are chillest, huddled over his mov- able charcoal stand, a smudge on his cheek, more than likely an icicle on the end of his nose, hawk- ing a confection in a voice that is part cry, part prayer, part grunt and a groan: “Chestnuts, sir, hot chestnuts, right off the fire, right out of the red hot pan hd There used to be a lot of him but 'his number now is sadly dimin- ished. Where he hides in summer no one knows, but when winter comes he emerges from hiding and takes up his position in the crowd- ed sectors of 6th Avenue, of Times Square, of Herald Square, in sub- way entrances, and on icy corners. His sales are in-five- and ten-cent Jols. Oddly enough his success is est when the elements are inst him, when the thermometer falls, when the wind curls out of | the north with an icy keen, when | the pavements are pery, when cach breath leaves a frosty plume | in the air, 1 think that when he finally | disappears something will have | passed from the American scene that all the ingenuity of the nov- elists and the movies can never | replace. Like the hill-blily moun- taineer and the cigar store Indian he is essentially American.

It is said Newmarker was hounded by a man seeking work. Newmarker called his attention to the snow and | the possible shoveling jobs. “I haven't a shovel,” said the un- employed man. “You get the jobs. I'll shovel,” Newmaker said. The man got the jobs. Newmarker was seen walking up the street this morning with a new AR P ' Whifney Residence ‘ In New York Is Sold At Public Auction NEW YORK, Dec. 21. — The 5- story home of the former President of the New York Stock Exchange. | Richard Whitney, was sold today.| | for $90,000 at an auction sale.
